Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

“If that’s not the case, then that’s not the case either. If the Celestial Venerable insists on not being willing, there’s nothing I can do.” Russell spread his hands in a rather shameless manner: “It’s just that the Celestial Sect might not be able to withstand it.”

"What do you mean?" the Heavenly Venerable asked.

Russell said, “Judging from the Heavenly Venerable’s condition, even if he obtains 30% of the National Preceptor’s spiritual essence today, he can only sustain himself for a hundred years at most. After a hundred years, he will eventually be unable to escape the fate of turning into a Daoist.”

"This is the destiny of the Heavenly Sect, what's wrong with it?" The Heavenly Venerable replied emotionlessly, without any intention of hiding anything.

"That's the problem. With my support, the Grand Preceptor's cultivation will only improve day by day. If the Heavenly Venerable can defeat the Grand Preceptor now, at most they can only be on par in the next sixty years. But what about the next Heavenly Venerable?" Russell said confidently. "After this battle between Heaven and Man, the Heavenly Sect will have no chance of winning again."

If the Celestial Venerable cannot win the battle between Heaven and Man, then he will be unable to maintain his own state, and it will only be a matter of time before he transforms into the Dao. Under the circumstances proposed by Russell, the Celestial Sect's transcendent beings will have no chance of ever rising again.

“In the next sixty years, you will definitely not be my match,” Luo Yuheng corrected.

Russell has unlocked her potential; sixty years from now, she will have no weaknesses.

"I can allow the Holy Maiden to succeed to the position of Heavenly Venerable." His statement was devoid of any personal emotion; it was not an argument, but a pure proposition.

“Miaozhen’s path is not in the Heavenly Sect. Even Bingyi Yuanjun knows this. I don’t believe you don’t understand. Moreover, with me here, Miaozhen has no chance of becoming a Heavenly Venerable.” Russell’s words plunged the Heavenly Venerable into silence.

The Supreme Being who has transcended emotions has only lost personal feelings, not intelligence. In matters of life and death, without the influence of emotions, the Heavenly Venerable's weighing of pros and cons is even purer.

"I have no problem!" The Celestial Venerable's voice was loud and cold: "When are you going to announce this to the outside world?"

"Half a month later, the new emperor of the Great Feng ascended the throne," Russell replied.

"Alright." The Celestial Venerable nodded.

Very good!
Li Miaozhen was secretly delighted.

With the three sects unified, she would no longer need to choose between her Daoist partner and her sect!

"But after the three sects are unified, which lineage should be the main one?" a disciple asked.

This is also why the three schools of Heaven, Earth, and Man have never achieved unity over thousands of years; none of them would submit to the other.

"My lineage is the main one." Russell turned around and glanced around, his eyes shining like the morning star.

There was no further voice from the Heavenly Sect.

well.

Russell nodded in satisfaction.

“The Buddha is about to awaken. Does the Heavenly Venerable have any questions for you?” Russell reminded him.

More than a month has passed since the Witch God broke the seal, but there has been no movement from the Buddha's side.

It's not that Buddhism is sitting idly by and waiting for its demise; rather, they are plotting something much bigger.

Coincidentally, Russell also had plans regarding the Buddha.

“It’s alright, Buddha is just Buddha,” said the Heavenly Venerable.

If the Daoist Master were to be reborn and return, all Daoist disciples in the world would naturally be at his command.

But now that the Daoist Master has passed away, the surviving avatars of the Daoist Master have become the founders of other sects and have no further connection with the Daoist sect.

“In that case, we shall take our leave.” Russell’s body radiated starlight, enveloping Li Miaozhen and Luo Yuheng. Just before they left, the Heavenly Venerable’s voice drifted over: “I am very pleased that the Holy Maiden and Junior Sister Yuheng have found such a Daoist partner as you.”

?

Russell opened his mouth, looking at the Celestial Venerable in disbelief. "Didn't you say you were supposed to be detached from worldly affairs? You've used up all the little bit of humanity you just regained on me, haven't you?"
The next moment, the starlight faded, and Russell and his two companions disappeared.

"Celestial Venerable?" Tianzong asked Bingyi Yuanjun with a questioning tone.

"It's just speculation; perhaps I'm wrong." The Celestial Venerable showed no emotional fluctuation.

He did not find any substantial evidence; it was all just a feeling he had in a state of oneness with nature.

What are you saying without any evidence? Bingyi Yuanjun frowned slightly.

Master Xuancheng was thinking that the Celestial Venerable had indeed gained a lot in this battle between Heaven and Man, and had become more human.

"And each of you should make preparations, and move out of the mountain gate in half a month," the Celestial Venerable continued.

In the square, all the elders and disciples bowed and clasped their hands in unison to the Heavenly Venerable, saying, "We will respectfully obey the Heavenly Venerable's decree."

Beijing.

Li Miaozhen's eyes widened in disbelief. She stared at Luo Su and Luo Yuheng for a long time, her face stiff with shock, anger, and frustration.

"The affairs of the Human Sect are numerous and complicated, so I will not linger any longer. Farewell." Luo Yuheng did not want to make things difficult for Luo Su, so he was about to leave on his golden light, but was stopped by Li Miaozhen with the Starry Night Butterfly.

After Russell advanced to the Super Grade, his four sub-Gu worms had already undergone a complete transformation and were able to exert first-grade combat power on their own, not to mention that they were also one of the two original Gu worms, the Starry Night Butterfly.

"Grand Preceptor, please wait a moment. There are some things that need to be clarified." Li Miaozhen gripped the hilt of her sword with a forced smile.

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, Luo Yuheng could only sigh.

Caught in the act by a junior, even with her cultivation level, she felt incredibly embarrassed.

“Miaozhen, I think…” Russell coughed, feeling deeply that he, as a man, needed to step forward at this moment. However, he had only taken one step when Li Miaozhen’s glare stopped him in his tracks: “Shut up! Stand there!”

Stand up if you want! Why are you yelling so loudly?
If you're wrong, admit it; if you're going to get punished, stand up straight...

Russell muttered something and stood up straight.

To be honest, Russell was somewhat prepared for the situation at that moment and was not completely at a loss.

The scene of open and honest conversation was bound to happen sooner or later. He was even prepared to tell Li Miaozhen the truth slowly after everything was over. He never expected that he would be betrayed by the Heavenly Venerable at the last minute.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to consult Xu Qi'an, who was an expert in this field, for a solution.

Li Miaozhen looked at Luo Yuheng, took out the mermaid pearl from her sachet, and handed it to Luo Yuheng.

"What is this?" Luo Yuheng asked curiously. The moment the bead touched his hand, it emitted a clear and bright light, dazzling enough even in the near-noon sky: "A mermaid pearl?"

Russell had naturally shared his experiences overseas with Luo Yuheng, and she knew that Li Miaozhen possessed such a magical object as the Mermaid Pearl.

"Just as I thought!" Li Miaozhen's eyes widened. "If I'm not mistaken, the Imperial Preceptor initially wanted to use Russell to suppress the karmic fire and survive the heavenly tribulation?"

"Not bad." Luo Yuheng turned around and looked directly at Li Miaozhen: "What do you intend to do?"

Admittedly, she was in the wrong, but that doesn't mean she should humble herself or give up.

The Human Sect cultivates the seven emotions and six desires. Once she sets her sights on someone and forms a bond with them, she will never give up.

"No matter what, I just didn't expect the Imperial Advisor to have such a unique perspective."

Li Miaozhen smiled slightly, adopting the demeanor of a matriarch, and said:
“I remember now. It seems that as soon as I returned to the capital, the Imperial Preceptor began to plot against Russell. If he had said so earlier, why wait until Chuzhou? I am not a petty person. As long as the Imperial Preceptor speaks up, can I restrain him? At most, I can take time every ten days to let him stay at Lingbao Temple for a couple of days to help the Imperial Preceptor solve his problems.”

"Are you treating me as a concubine?" Luo Yuheng's face darkened.

How is this any different from Li Miaozhen pointing her finger at her and calling her a prostitute?
"How could that be?" Li Miaozhen first shook her head sincerely, then smiled and said, "Even a concubine needs the head mistress's approval to enter the household. As for the Imperial Advisor, he hasn't entered the door, nor has he been served tea. At most, he can only be considered an outer concubine." "You! Are courting death!"

These three words were squeezed out of Luo Yuheng's mouth. Streams of light flowed from Luo Yuheng's palm, transforming into Dao swords. The killing aura was extremely intense, and the rolling sword energy swept like smoke.

In an instant, the three extraordinary beings on the Bagua Platform—the Supervisor, Wei Yuan, and Zhao Shou—all turned around to look.

"Serves you right!" The supervisor took a sip of wine with great satisfaction.

"Sigh..." Wei Yuan sighed along with Zhao Shou.

Russell was good in every way, except that he was as dashing and romantic as Xu Qi'an.

Yes, and Xu Qi'an too.

That kid is something else; Huaiqing and Lin'an have been embroiled in a huge fight over him lately.

"How dare you, mistress, disrespect your mistress! Beware I'll sell you off!" With Russell by her side, Li Miaozhen showed no fear of Luo Yuheng, her face flushed with anger.
"Mistress..." Luo Yuheng lightly flicked his sword, and a sword hum rang out. An extremely sharp sword aura instantly emanated and soared into the sky: "Then let me properly show my respect to you, my mistress."

"A fight has broken out. Should we step in and help him out?" Zhao Shou asked.

This was also the first time he had met this Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect, and he hadn't expected her to be so sharp and unyielding, showing no respect for Luo Yuheng whatsoever.

Wei Yuan smiled but remained silent.

"He's already a Martial Saint, why do you care about him?" The supervisor, who had been smiling, suddenly changed his expression and cursed, "This kid, his methods are so despicable!"

Thick black smoke billowed from the northeast, lingered over the capital, and then a blurry face emerged from the dark clouds, looking down from hundreds of feet away.

A terrifying and powerful aura poured down like a waterfall, causing the entire capital city to rumble and tremble under its influence. The overwhelming power, like the sky pressing down, pressed down on everyone, making their souls tremble.

"Superb!" Luo Yuheng's expression changed drastically. Why would the God of Witchcraft enter the capital at this time?

"Martial Saint, come out and face your death!" Like a thousand thunderbolts exploding at the same time, the vast and indifferent voice of the Witch God resounded in everyone's hearts, impacting everyone's minds with an inexplicable power.

"You're asking for death!" Russell roared, his aura exploding as his long hair flew wildly.

Like a shooting star, it crashed head-on into it.

Beyond the horizon, countless dark figures surged, like a tide rushing towards Russell's direction.

Luo Yuheng and Li Miaozhen, no longer concerned with their rivalry or jealousy, ascended into the sky to watch the battle.

Li Miaozhen, in particular, was extremely anxious. She knew that Russell had once stormed into the Witch God Cult and fought against the Witch God. The two had a draw that time, but this time the Witch God was openly and clearly targeting the capital. Could it be that he had come up with a way to deal with Russell?

Although Russell has a variety of tricks up his sleeve and his true combat strength cannot be measured by common sense, the Witch God is an unparalleled being who has been famous for millions of years. Who knows how many trump cards he still has? If the two fight, the slightest carelessness could lead to death.

Russell's aura surged wildly, divine light overflowed from his palms, and his fist imprint rose and fell, like a great seal overturned and crashing down with the overwhelming power of a collapsing and crumbling divine mountain.

A tremendous sound, as if the sky were collapsing, echoed throughout the capital city.

The sorcerer roared, and a huge crack split open between heaven and earth, which did not heal for a long time, like a portal.

Countless rays of starlight collapsed in response.

The next moment, Russell and the sorcerer vanished simultaneously.

It all happened so fast.

Luo Yuheng and Li Miaozhen had just arrived at the battlefield when Russell and the Witch God disappeared.

"Damn it!" Luo Yuheng gritted her teeth, her pretty face filled with murderous intent. Enraged, she was about to turn into a rainbow and chase after the location of the Witch God Sect without hesitation. However, just as she was about to set off, she saw Li Miaozhen following behind her.

"Stop." Luo Yuheng stopped in his tracks and blocked Li Miaozhen's way. "You're only a fourth-rank official. What use would you be if you went?"

“This has nothing to do with you.” Li Miaozhen’s eyes were already red.

"If anything happens to you, I will not be able to explain to Russell." Luo Yuheng said coldly, "I can promise you that I will definitely expel Russell from the Witch God Cult. You can just wait in the capital."

“I can choose not to go, but you have to take this!” Li Miaozhen gritted her teeth, paused, pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and threw it at Luo Yuheng. The hairpin transformed in the air and, when it reached Luo Yuheng’s hand, it had turned into an incomparably crystal-clear butterfly.

"Alright." Luo Yuheng responded, his body transforming into a streak of light as he charged straight towards the Witch God Sect.

At this moment, on the altar of the Witch God Cult, Russell and the Witch God stood side by side.

"Why are you calling me in such a hurry?" the sorcerer asked.

"If you don't come, my life will be in danger," Russell said with a heavy heart.

"Is there anything in this world that could threaten your life?" the witch god asked curiously.

"Yes, there are three." Russell nodded emphatically.

“Nonsense.” The Witch God shook his head, no longer dwelling on it: “But even if you hadn’t come to me, I would have informed you that Asura from the Western Regions has already contacted me, and the Mountain and River Seal has been lent out. Your plan can begin.”

“Very well then, I will send a message to the Southern Frontier immediately.” Russell smiled.

No one in this world knows that Russell, the Wizard God, and the Supervisor actually reached an agreement a long time ago.

Among all the super-grade items, the Witch God's vision of achieving the Heavenly Dao is the most simple and down-to-earth.

He lived through the ancient era of gods and demons, witnessed the suffering of humanity during that time, and vowed to defy fate, pursue immortality, and save all living beings from oppression and suffering.

Now, it's no different from having this wish fulfilled, and with Russell keeping him in check, he no longer has any desire to replace the Way of Heaven.

The supervisor's focus was on survival; his reason for existence was to help this world survive the great calamity and annihilate all the superior beings.

If all the superior items disappear, then naturally there will be no need for him to exist.

He needs at least one top-tier individual to help him solidify his position.

Russell's idea was even simpler. As Master Xu said, if internal conflicts are uncontrollable, then external conflicts must be introduced to break up the internal conflicts.

For Russell, he needed a sufficiently strong external conflict to help him resolve his internal conflicts.

There are two main reasons why the Buddha was not chosen as a partner.

Firstly, the Buddha was the embodiment of the Way and the Humanity, with lofty aspirations and a strong desire for transcendence. He was unwilling to be subservient to others and was an unconquerable being.

Secondly, the chaos in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons and the calamity of the Asura race mean that Buddhism, the Nine-Tailed Fox, Shenshu, and Asura are all mortal enemies, and this is an irreconcilable feud.

So you're not leaving yet?

After standing there for a while, the Wizard God saw that Russell showed no sign of leaving, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Let the bullets fly a little longer," Russell shushed, signaling the Wizard to calm down and listen.

"Here you are," he said with a light laugh.

In an instant, an incredibly dazzling golden meteor struck the invisible barrier above the Witch God Cult.

Luo Yuheng has arrived. (End of Chapter)
