Fire Monster

Chapter 281 Favor
Cheng Muye said as he led them into the ruins. He then sighed helplessly, "Boss Wang, did you come here because of the request for help from the Cangwu Taoist Palace? It's a pity that the Taoist friends from the Cangwu Taoist Palace were ultimately unable to defend the Demon Suppression Tower. It was occupied by the wandering demon seven days ago."

Hearing this, Wang Xuan and Zhao Guanshan looked at each other. It was indeed a pity. If they had not been held back by the evil god, they should have arrived here long ago.

"But this shouldn't happen. Cangwu Dao Palace also has a great immortal in charge. With him here, the Demon Suppression Tower cannot be breached no matter what."

Wang Xuan was very surprised, and Zhao Guanshan also found it difficult to understand. The Demon-Suppressing Tower here was exactly the same as the space of his statue, so it was conceivable how important the Demon-Suppressing Tower was. It was impossible for the people of Cangwu Taoist Palace to be so willful.

Cheng Muye shook his head, "The problem is not this, but for some reason, the coordinates of this spiritual world stronghold and the real world were forcibly erased, and the reinforcements from the Cangwu Taoist Palace could not get through at all."

Cheng Muye sighed, he also helped in this battle, but in the end he had to retreat first, because they no longer had physical bodies and could not die.

"The coordinates were erased? This has never happened before." Wang Xuan was very surprised and subconsciously thought of the evil god. Could it be related to this?

"Maybe there is another hidden story here. Fellow Daoist Wang Xuan, why don't you try to contact the Fuyun Taoist Palace?" Zhao Guanshan thought, the Cangwu Taoist Palace couldn't be so weak. How could a powerful Taoist palace with more than fifty ninth-level Qi Refiners, whose comprehensive strength was second only to the Fuyun Taoist Palace, make such a stupid mistake, let alone not send reinforcements.

Besides, the coordinates of the spiritual world cannot be erased so easily.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Wang Xuan nodded. This matter was of great importance. Cangwu Taoist Palace had always been the most important ally of Fuyun Taoist Palace and a loyal executor of the Destiny Plan. Together with Tianlong Taoist Palace, they were considered the three giants. If something went wrong with them, it would be a severe blow to Fuyun Taoist Palace.

Soon, Wang Xuan got in touch through the Dao Yu. After some communication, his face became quite serious.

Then he put away the Questioning Jade and said in a deep voice: "The coordinates here have indeed been erased, which is why the reinforcements did not appear."

"In fact, seven days ago, the reinforcements from the Cangwu Taoist Palace were teleported to the Fuyun Taoist Palace through forced positioning. There are a total of 300 demon hunters, plus the 200 demon hunters sent by my Fuyun Taoist Palace, a total of 500 people. They have been rushing here day and night, and will arrive in three days. They are the ones I just contacted."

"Alas, it's still a step too late."

Even Zhao Guanshan felt regretful this time, but five hundred witchers were enough to solve all the troubles.

"Yes, the Cangwu Dao Palace just lacks a bit of luck. But there shouldn't be any problem. The Demon Suppression Tower can be repaired and the coordinates can be re-determined—"

Wang Xuan paused for a moment before saying, "However, I will have to be stationed here from now on. After this incident, Fuyun Dao Palace requires that from now on, Fuyun, Cangwu, and Tianlong Dao Palaces must have no less than 200 demon hunters stationed in the spirit world."

"Of the 200 demon hunters sent by Fuyun Dao Palace this time, 100 will be stationed here permanently, and another 100 will go to Tianlong Dao Palace. Each of them must spend four months every year in the spirit world."

"So, Fellow Daoist Chengfeng, your escort mission can only end here. Of course, I will give you the spiritual stones. After you get the spiritual stones, please return to the Linjiang Prefecture Taoist Palace immediately. Is that okay?"

Zhao Guanshan was delighted when he heard this. What a guy, he was urging him to deliver the letter again.

"No problem. I understand the situation is urgent and I won't delay important matters. But regarding this destiny plan, could Brother Wang tell me a thing or two? Because after I go back this time, I will most likely not be able to come to the spirit world in the future. Even if I come, I can't go back."

Wang Xuan pondered for a moment, "Fellow Daoist Chengfeng, in fact, you already know everything I know. All I can do is to advise you that you should either be prepared to become a national teacher, or learn from Fellow Daoist Cheng and directly dissolve into the spirit world to be free and easy. Don't even think about going out to sea by boat. It is really difficult to find the three Taoist palaces of Fuyun, Cangwu, and Tianlong above the magic fire."

"Really, this is what I really think."

"Also, don't think about going against the trend and taking the path of cultivating immortals and refining qi. As long as the three Taoist palaces of Linjiang, Zhenhai, and Qingcheng are guided and merged together, the total population will exceed hundreds of millions. You know what this means."

"What's more, this was planned by the three major Dao Palaces, and no twists and turns are allowed to occur, because in the future at least five more Dao Palaces will be led over one after another, and eventually a Destiny Alliance with a total population exceeding 500 million may be formed. This was all promoted and planned by that immortal."

"So even if you go out to sea by ship in the future, you may have to go through decades of hardship, but you will eventually have to return to Linjiang Prefecture."

"In that case, why not become a national teacher? By the way, Fellow Daoist Cheng came from Zhenhai Dao Palace, which has accumulated a lot of useful experience in this area. Is Fellow Daoist Chengfeng interested?" "Of course I am interested, just in case. Maybe one day in the future, I will really become a national teacher."

Zhao Guanshan laughed. Putting aside the impact that the path of destiny-chaos order had on Qi cultivators, he personally had always been very interested in the industrial revolution in cultivating immortals.

Cheng Muye looked at Wang Xuan with some surprise at this time. He naturally knew that Wang Xuan was considered a middle-level figure in the Fuyun Taoist Palace. Although he was not in a high position and had great power, he was almost there.

Now he has to think about Zhao Guanshan in this way. It seems that he really owes him a big favor.

In this case, it is not good to keep it secret.

"Brother Chengfeng, I have told you about the evolution of the destiny of Zhenhai Dao Palace before. Today, I will give you some more details. Or, it can be regarded as my experience of observing this matter from the sidelines. It may not be correct. Brother Chengfeng, just listen to it casually, haha."

Cheng Muye deliberately added a few more words, which were meant for Wang Xuan to hear. These were all his private collections, and I was repaying the favor for you. Boss Wang, you should also remember my favor.

Wang Xuan was so smart that he understood immediately and laughed, "Brother Chengfeng, you are lucky, you know that? Fellow Daoist Cheng is a Qi Refiner who has watched the thousand-year evolution of Zhenhai Dao Palace. His experience, insights, and understandings are extraordinary. If Zhenhai, Linjiang, and Qingcheng Dao Palaces merge in the future, Fellow Daoist Cheng will definitely be the most senior staff member in this regard."

"Haha, I don't deserve it!"

Cheng Muye also smiled with satisfaction. He got the promise he wanted, which was good enough. Then, he went straight to the point.

"In my opinion, Brother Chengfeng, there are three things you need to pay attention to after you return to Linjiang Prefecture."

"First, grab the destiny merit. Whether you want to be a national teacher or not, this thing is beneficial and harmless. How to grab it depends on your own vision and strength, brother Chengfeng. For example, if you send the beacon back this time, it is a merit. If the fusion of the three Taoist palaces is advanced by more than ten years, or even decades, think about how much merit you will get?"

"Secondly, remember one thing. Heaven's will not deliberately target Qi cultivators. It will only affect their living environment. Therefore, it is important to accumulate more Spirit Stones. After you go back, the only way to obtain Spirit Stones is to hunt Twilight Dust Moths. However, the process of hunting Twilight Dust Moths will inevitably be discovered by others. You understand what I mean, right?"

"So it is probably wishful thinking to sail out to other Taoist temples, but there is absolutely no problem sailing out to the depths of the Demon Fire Abyss to hunt Twilight Dust Moths."

"Of course, this requires Brother Chengfeng to have sufficient strength."

"Third, and this is the most important point, give up all your relationships in the mortal world, friends, relatives, family, give them all up, even if your goal is just to become a national master. Really, when you and I talk like this, do you think that the national master is cheap and easy to get? In fact, there will probably be a lot of competitors. The road to becoming a national master is also difficult."

"In fact, after becoming a national teacher, the upper limit of the national teacher's strength depends on the growth of the destiny. The stronger the destiny, the stronger the national teacher. When the destiny is strong enough to interfere with the heavenly tribulation, you, the national teacher, can even become the emperor of heaven and set the rules for ascension..."

"If you don't want to become the national teacher, then I still say the same thing, accumulate more spirit stones. If you have enough spirit stones, then you can even cooperate with the destiny and deal with it. In short, this is a very complicated matter. However, the premise of everything is to unite against the outside world. Facing the evil demons, can our human race survive? This is a problem that every powerful Qi Refiner needs to consider."

“How to choose is all in one’s heart.”

"Well, I have a set of construction data for the Spirit Offering Tower here, from the fifth-level Spirit Offering Tower to the eighth-level Spirit Offering Tower. This is the greatest achievement of the thousand-year evolution of the Heavenly Fate of the Zhenhai Dao Palace. I originally intended to present it to the Fuyun Dao Palace. If Brother Chengfeng wants a copy, I will sell it to you for fifty spirit stones."

Zhao Guanshan was stunned when he heard what Cheng Muye said, and glanced at Wang Xuan. Oh my god, this old Cheng was trying to flatter Wang Xuan. He must have heard that Wang Xuan was going to pay spirit stones to Zhao Guanshan, so he did this.

Wang Xuan was also stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, his subordinate Liu Jinbao laughed out loud, "Fellow Daoist Cheng, you are asking for too much. Fellow Daoist Chengfeng doesn't have so many spirit stones to give you. How about this, we give it to him on his behalf?"

"That's great. I'll put it on your Floating Cloud Palace account. I'll feel relieved. Hahaha!"

Cheng Muye laughed.

Wang Xuan hesitated for a moment, and when he was about to say something, Zhao Guanshan had already agreed, "Okay, let's do it. The Spirit Offering Pagoda is the foundation for the survival of all Taoist temples. If I want to go out to sea by boat in the future, I can't do it without the Spirit Offering Pagoda."
