This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 322: Telling lies with open eyes is good for everyone
It is too arbitrary to say that there is an ascension channel. Xiang Yuan has walked through the ascension channel once and can only say that the aura emitted by the Fengming Mirror is very similar to it.

But if it’s not…

The Miro Purple Palace is different from the laws of heaven and earth in the outside world. It is also emitted from the Fengming Mirror. It is very similar to the style of the Ascension Channel that forcibly modifies the laws of heaven and earth.

Xiang Yuan assumed that the Fengming Mirror was the passage to ascension, and that one could ascend to the upper realm by entering it. He deduced that the Taixu Realm was captured by a certain heaven in the upper realm and was working for it, so Zhu Jianbai did not worship Buddhism or Taoism, but only the heaven.

The question is, since the Heavenly Court in the Upper Realm has captured the Taixu Realm, why not directly open up the ascension channel, but instead divide the world into three parts with the forces behind the Hundred-Eyed Demon Cave and the Blood Lotus Castle?
They don’t even dare to show their weapons. When did Heaven become so lame?
Oh, the Heaven has always been pretty lame. The Heaven in the world of gods is just a makeshift troupe, and the shameless Emperor of Heaven had to patch things up to complete the cast of Journey to the West.

A long time ago, Xiang Yuan knew that there was more than one heaven in the upper world, and wondered whether the heaven in the upper world of Taixu Realm was one of the heavens he knew about.

The Heavenly God Realm is definitely out of the question, as the Great Emperor Zhenwu has no divine power at all. However, the Heavenly Court of the Qianyuan Realm is somewhat possible...

Just as he was thinking about it, the Fengming Mirror slowly turned, emitting a clear and resonant sound, the sound of nature, melodious and echoing throughout the Miro Purple Palace.

The mirror emitted a soft divine light that poured down like running water, instantly enveloping Xiang Yuan's entire body.

Instantly, the golden light surged, and a great force of goodness called merit emanated from Xiang Yuan, so bright that people could not open their eyes. The light materialized the Fengming Mirror, revealing an indescribable pure compassion, and a majestic power that made it impossible to look directly at it.

Almost at the same time, on the white wall facing the gate, a shadow of a great emperor slowly emerged. Although the shadow was not clear, the majestic aura made everyone present feel invisible oppression.

The face of this great emperor is not visible. He is wearing black tortoise armor and holding a sword in his hand. He kills evil and protects peace in all directions.

Behind the emperor, flags fluttered and rustled, and under his feet, a tortoise and a snake appeared and disappeared. The tortoise represents masculinity, while the snake represents femininity. They complement each other and together form a balance of yin and yang, adding a bit of mystery and majesty.

Xiang Yuan stood in the golden light, echoing the great emperor's shadow from afar. The two shadows intertwined with each other and overlapped for a moment as if in resonance.

At this moment, the air in the entire Miro Purple Palace was immersed in a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

At the side, Zhu Jianbai was stunned by the sudden change. His knees felt weak and he fell to the ground without paying attention. He was mumbling something.

(д))
Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er were both stunned. Looking at the shadow of the emperor on the wall, they thought of the great master in the Heavenly Demon Realm who was bored to death.

Chaner frowned, looked at Xiang Yuan's back and fell into deep thought. He took the initiative to dial the phone number he hadn't contacted for a long time, and started a private chat with Xiao Lingyue through the team voice.

"Sister, did my husband tell you that he spent the New Year with me at Huangquan Road in Southern Xinjiang, and watched the fireworks with me at Dilongbao on New Year's Eve?"

"..."

If there’s nothing else, just hang up. Don’t contact me if you can avoid it in the future.

"It seems that she didn't say it. In that case, I won't say it, lest my younger sister misunderstands something and makes me, as a sister, look unreasonable."

The tea aroma in Chan'er's tea carried his voice, and after squeezing Xiao Lingyue for a while, he got to the point: "Zuo Lengxie of Huangquan Dao called his friends... There was a Taoist priest Ziyang from Qingyun Sect of Southern Jin. Qingyun Sect passed down the true martial arts. Taoist priest Ziyang came with the imperial token used by the Great Emperor Zhenwu... My husband broke the token with a wave of his hand."

"What do you want to say, sister?" Xiao Lingyue's expression remained unchanged, she just frowned.

"My sister asked my husband at the time, but he couldn't explain it clearly. He just said that the love poison in his body was causing trouble, so the seal couldn't hurt him."

"..." x2
After the brief conversation, the two women looked at the shadow of the emperor on the white wall, and an idea came to their minds.

Is there a possibility? They are assuming that Xiang Yuan is the Zhenwu Emperor, or the reincarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor, which is why his true form in his previous life was revealed under the Fengming Mirror.

In order to avoid wronging the Great Emperor Zhenwu, the two women did not dare to make any assertions. Instead, they recalled various events in the Heavenly Demon Realm, trying to find some clues.

The three of them entered the Heavenly Demon Realm twice. The first time was the mission of the Relic of Reincarnation. Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er were severely weakened in this version. They only managed to recover some of their abilities after practicing Sun and Moon together. Later, they fought against the Golden Crow Demon King and survived. This version experience was extremely bad.

The second time they entered the demon world was purely for personal grudges. Halfway through the fight, the Great Emperor Zhenwu suddenly arrived. For no apparent reason, he planted a love poison in Xiang Yuan's body, forcing the two women to turn a blind eye and acquiesce to each other's existence.

Watching it only the second time, Zhenwu Emperor's motives are suspicious. Without his help, Xiang Yuan could not have embraced two women, and it is very likely that they are one. But watching it the first time, if Xiang Yuan is Zhenwu Emperor, the process of finding the reincarnation relic would not be so difficult and tortuous.

The two women pondered over the possibilities, and it was hard to guess, but they could only be sure of one thing: Xiang Yuan and the Great Emperor Zhenwu must have been connected, and it must have happened when they entered the Heavenly Demon Realm for the second time.

Shame on you, try mentioning the love poison again! x2
The light from the Fengming Mirror faded away, and the shadow of the Great Emperor Zhenwu on the white wall also faded away. Xiang Yuan stood there with a serious face, feeling a chill on his back, and hurriedly opened a chat room through the team voice.

"It slanders me, it slanders me!"

Xiang Yuan was furious and tried to argue: "Love poison, it is love poison! The Fengming Mirror reflected the power of the Great Emperor Zhenwu in my body, so it projected the shadow of the Great Emperor Zhenwu!"

Seeing that the two women remained silent, Xiang Yuan cursed Fengming Jing in his heart. The Taixu Realm was not within the sphere of influence of the Heavenly God Realm, and he had nothing to do with the Great Emperor Zhenwu. Framed him without any evidence, wasn't this bullying an honest man?

Xiang Yuan felt all kinds of grievances, but relying on the favoritism he felt was fearless, he used the tried and tested Huang Tian Zai Shang (God is above) and swore an oath on the spot to prove his innocence.

"God above, the sun and the moon can bear witness, if Xiang has any relationship with the Great Emperor Zhenwu, then let me... Hey, why don't you stop me this time?"

"My husband continued to swear, Chaner wanted to see the sky struck by lightning."

"My husband's words will be followed by the law. There will be thunder and lightning. I also want to see something new."

"..."

"Send it!" x2
"I wanted to send it, but I really have the love poison left by the Zhenwu Emperor in my body, so I can't say that it has nothing to do with him. Moreover, every time I meet the Zhenwu Emperor, strange things always happen. I can't help but suspect that I have some kind of relationship with him..."

Xiang Yuan murmured to himself that the world was fickle and people's hearts were no longer the same as before. The madam and the wife refused to believe in the innocence of their husbands and insisted on believing in a broken mirror.

How can this life get any better?
"It turned out to be the Great Emperor from the Upper Realm who descended upon the human world. The Suzaku clan failed to welcome him. We hope the Great Emperor will forgive us."

As Xiang Yuan turned around, he saw Zhu Jianbai banging his head on the ground, saying repeatedly: "The Great Emperor is the ancestor of the Nine Heavens Demon Slayer. He must have come here to exorcise demons, but I don't know where the Great Emperor came from. Has he ever been to the Hundred Eyes Demon Cave?"

You better stop talking nonsense, kid!

I've been there, and I destroyed the Hundred Eyes Demon Cave. x2
Although it was a coincidence that Xiang Yuan just entered the Taixu Realm and went directly to the entrance of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Cave because of the rules of opening the door of the Yanfu Gate, it was too much of a coincidence. The more Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er thought about it, the more they felt that this matter was strange, and there must be other explanations.

Xiang Yuan's eyes twitched, and with a stern face, he lifted Zhu Jianbai up from the ground with his powerful arm strength, and said with a gloomy look: "I don't know the deep meaning of the Fengming Mirror pointing to the Zhenwu Emperor, nor do I know what you are talking about. I advise you not to make random assumptions, otherwise it will ruin the reputation of the Zhenwu Emperor."

Zhu Jianbai only felt that his arm was locked by an iron hoop, and the pain was so severe that it almost broke. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Senior Li is right. The Fengming Mirror cannot always reveal the truth. This matter... may be a little strange."

It's no use saying this now, it's too late!

Xiang Yuan sighed quietly, made way for Xiao Lingyue and Chaner to try and see if they had any special qualities under the Fengming Mirror.

Without waiting for Xiao Lingyue to move, Chaner seized the opportunity. His figure remained unchanged in the mirror and no shadow appeared on the white wall.

Xiao Lingyue then also remained unchanged, only releasing a little bit of merit energy which had not yet condensed into golden light. It can be seen that he is a much more upright person than Chaner.

It’s good enough that she doesn’t have any evil aura coming out of her.

"What did I say? This broken mirror is inaccurate. In my heart, you two are both goddesses above the nine heavens. This broken mirror has no reaction at all..."

Xiang Yuan was halfway through blowing when he saw Senior Jiang said nothing, so he hooked his finger and asked him to stand under the Fengming Mirror.

He has always been guessing about the identity of Senior Zhuang. Today, he would borrow the Fengming Mirror to take a look. It would be best if he could get some clues.

Under Xiang Yuan's control, Senior Zhuang stepped under the Fengming Mirror. As a zombie, he had no soul and no consciousness, so there was no so-called merit. He was in the mirror light and his body did not react at all.

Xiang Yuan shook his head slightly, Senior Zhuang was also a commoner.

"Senior Li, the Suzaku clan is hosting a banquet at your residence. I wonder if you are willing to condescend to…"

"I'm tired. Arrange a place for me to stay, and don't let strangers disturb me."

"Please come this way."

After the few people left, the Fengming Mirror hanging in the air shook violently.

The originally calm mirror surface suddenly rippled, invisible power surged in the mirror, the mirror body vibrated and emitted a low humming sound, the divine light of the mirror flickered, and the entire Miro Purple Palace became bright and dark.

There was a click and a crack appeared in the middle of the white wall.

The long and narrow cracks quickly spread to both sides, starting from the middle and extending to both sides. In the blink of an eye, it crossed three white walls and almost cut the entire Miro Purple Palace in half.

----

The Suzaku clan.

In the secret room, several fat white figures were sitting, all of them were at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and they were all elders of the clan.

The current head of the family, Zhu Fangyu, looked at Zhu Jianbai solemnly and said incredulously, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Is it really the phantom of the Great Emperor Zhenwu?"

"I can't be wrong. The master of the house doesn't know. After I arranged for the distinguished guests, I received the news from the Great Phoenix Temple. I went back and took a look..."

Zhu Jianbai's eyes widened, his face flushed, he gestured with his hands, and said excitedly: "The distinguished guest is of extraordinary status, the lower world cannot bear his dignity, the Fengming Mirror's divine light is dim, and its vitality is damaged. There is a big crack on the three white walls of the Miro Purple Palace. These are all evidence." Several elders were shocked when they heard this, and whispered to each other, saying that this had never been seen before and was not recorded in ancient books.

"I hope I didn't neglect these distinguished guests?" Zhu Fangyu asked hurriedly.

"How dare I neglect you? Your distinguished guest wants peace and quiet and doesn't want outsiders to disturb him. I will drive all the people from the other courtyard out."

"Then what? Didn't you arrange a few errand runners to wait on the side?" Zhu Fangyu became anxious when he heard it.

"But……"

"What's the big deal?"

Zhu Fangyu slapped the table and said angrily: "Jianbai, you used to be smart, but you made a big mistake today. What do you want me to say about you?"

If your boss says that he won’t accept gifts during the Chinese New Year, does that mean you can stop giving gifts?
You still have to send it, even if you know your leader will refuse it, you still have to go through the process.

"Master, I personally think that as a distinguished guest, when you say you don't want to be disturbed by outsiders, you probably don't want to be disturbed by outsiders." Zhu Jianbai said dryly. It was the first time he met such a high-ranking leader, so it wouldn't hurt to be cautious.

Seeing that he dared to talk back, Zhu Fangyu stood up angrily and said, "How can this be justified? I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. I will make amends for my mistakes by standing guard in front of the courtyard and waiting for the distinguished guest to send you."

"..."xN
The elders were stunned. After a brief shock, they came to their senses and realized the huge gap between themselves and the patriarch. They all expressed their desire to go together.

"Master, the distinguished guest is accompanied by female relatives. It would not be appropriate for us to go," Zhu Jianbai advised.

You may not believe it, but he observed the words and expressions of the Great Emperor Zhenwu and knew that he had acquired worldly desires after coming to the world. If his peace was disturbed, the consequences would be disastrous.

"That makes sense, but as subjects of the lower realm, how can we be so disrespectful..."

Zhu Fangyu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let my useless granddaughter go. Although her cultivation is average, she is smart and can do some work like serving tea and water."

"..."xN
You have to be the patriarch. If anyone says anything bad about you, I will be the first to stand up and oppose you.
After a while, several elders scraped together a dozen maids, packed them up and sent them to the villa next to the Great Phoenix Temple to serve tea and water to the guests and wait on the female relatives.

"Master, this is a serious matter. Should we inform the Chilong clan?"

"Why notify them?"

Zhu Fangyu shook his head slightly: "The Chilong clan already has Longyuan Mansion, and is no longer the Baohuang clan. They are arrogant, and they may not be subservient even if the distinguished guests are in front of them. A bunch of filthy people offended the distinguished guests, and if it is implicated, we may all be punished."

The head of the family always said some golden words about how to behave in the world. Several elders were deeply convinced and no one mentioned the Chilong clan anymore.

"Also, the Miro Purple Palace is the palace of the upper world of the human world, and it must be repaired as soon as possible."

Zhu Fangyu gave Zhu Jianbai a deep look and said, "You go now and make sure it is restored to its original state. Keep quiet. The distinguished guests are in the other courtyard, so don't disturb them."

Zhu Jianbai understood what he meant and made sure that the news would not be passed on to the Chilong clan. He frowned and said, "Master, the wall is easy to repair, but the key is the Fengming Mirror. The divine object has been damaged, and it will take a while..."

"Bring me the Fengming Mirror. I have made some progress in my practice recently, and I need the help of this magical object to stabilize my realm!"

"Congratulations, head of the family."

"Don't talk nonsense, go and come back quickly. If the news leaks out, I will hold you accountable!"

……

Putting aside the upright Suzaku clan, Xiang Yuan's life was not easy.

In the small building of the villa, Xiao Lingyue and Chan'er sat cross-legged on the couch with expressionless faces. Perhaps after some internal team conversation, they began to practice in tacit understanding.

Xiang Yuan poked Xiao Lingyue's face and called her "Madam" softly, but got no response. He poked Chan'er again, but before she could open her mouth, Chan'er called her "husband" in a delicate voice and fell into Xiang Yuan's arms accidentally on purpose.

Xiao Lingyue: (_)
That's not what we discussed just now!

Xiao Lingyue was afraid of undercover agents. She felt that she couldn't help them. Seeing the couple hugging each other, she was very angry. She whispered, "What's going on with the phantom of the Zhenwu Emperor? Is the love poison in your body real or fake?"

After he finished speaking, seeing that the couple ignored him, he held Chaner's shoulders, pulled him to his side, and glared at him again.

No more flirting!
"Humph!"

Zener turned his head and looked aside, muttering that it was nothing great, pretending to be noble every day as if he was innocent.

Besides, what's wrong with your husband cheating on you twice? You should forgive him in the end.

Chaner said that he was a kind-hearted person and had already forgiven Xiang Yuan.

Having said that, the prerequisite is that Xiang Yuan tells the truth and confesses his relationship with Emperor Zhenwu.

It is definitely impossible to tell the truth. Once the truth is told, the two girls will definitely inquire about the Heavenly God Realm out of curiosity. If they are interested, there may even be a seven-day tour of the Heavenly God Realm.

Not to mention the issue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, the two secretaries of Xuanwu Tongchu Mansion alone are enough to give Xiang Yuan a hard time.

Sometimes, telling lies with open eyes is good for everyone.

"There is definitely no relationship. At least in my opinion, I have no relationship with the Great Emperor Zhenwu. In his eyes..."

Xiang Yuan groaned for a moment: "How can I know what the Great Emperor Zhenwu thinks? The two ladies are a little worried and confused. Don't you think that if I were really the Great Emperor Zhenwu, I would have been invincible in the Qianyuan Realm. Why would I have to run around here and there for a living?"

"you swear!"

"You wouldn't be happy if it was really sent out."

Xiang Yuan took off his shoes and squeezed in between the two women, relying on the lack of information to make unreasonable demands: "To be honest, instead of suspecting that I am the Zhenwu Emperor, you might as well suspect that I have other women outside. That's more reliable."

"Who?"

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."

"..." x2
With that mouth of yours, aren’t you afraid that God will strike you down?

As for the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, the name of a person is like the shadow of a tree. The two women would not doubt anything when they saw it in person. They just thought it was the act of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, the Goddess of Childbirth, to give alms and to save them from the hell of lust.

"Okay, stop guessing about the Great Emperor Zhenwu. It seems like there is a dark hand behind the conspiracy. I still don't understand it."

Xiang Yuan frowned. This was true. He really didn't understand why the Fengming Mirror of the Taixu Realm could reflect the Zhenwu Emperor of the Heavenly God Realm. The connections between the three thousand worlds were too complicated, and the information was limited. He really couldn't guess the truth.

“Although I was wrongly accused and became the Great Zhenwu Emperor who descended to the human world, this identity is indeed useful. When daybreak comes, I will go to the Suzaku clan. If there are any samsara relics, I can just ask for them.”

As he spoke, he kissed Chaner on the face, and then Xiao Lingyue.

The order cannot be messed up, otherwise you won’t be able to kiss them.

"Well, it's late now. We've been busy all day. We should have a good rest tonight. Not to mention conserving our energy, we should at least gather our strength so that we can search for the samsara relic with full energy tomorrow."

Xiang Yuan looked around and saw that the two women had no objection. He raised his hand and hugged them left and right.

Not hooked.

Xiang Yuan didn't take it seriously. It would be a miracle if he got hooked. A new belly-entry strip appeared in front of him, and the fly rubbed his hands with full of fighting spirit.

Suddenly, there were some light footsteps in the yard.

He let out a puzzled sound, closed his eyes and spread his senses, and saw that they were beautiful girls dressed as maids, so he didn't take them seriously.

Wait a minute, whose maid is so beautiful?
Think a little, analyze calmly, and see through it.JPG
As expected of a reputable and upright sect, the substance remains the same, no matter in which world they are in, there are hostage kidnapping operations.

Xiang Yuan curled his lips in disdain. Seeing Chan'er and Xiao Lingyue frowning, he clenched his fist and snorted, "Well, I won't disturb you two from practicing. I'll go out for a walk and see if there's any vacant room next door."

You are such a nasty person! x2
The two women knew that Xiang Yuan did it on purpose. Even if they let him go, they would practice alone tonight. But for some reason, they still detained him.

Downstairs in the small building, Senior Jiang said nothing as he slowly raised his head to look at the full moon in the sky.

Breathe in the moonlight energy.
