Chapter 568: Eliminate the tyranny of the gods and humans will never be enslaved again!
"I didn't win." Murong Fu said regretfully, "If it was an ordinary god, even if he was of a very high status, I would be confident that I could kill him. But this Lady of the Nine Heavens is an ancient righteous god, the right-hand man of Emperor Fuxi, and the head of the Elders' Council of the God Realm. She is really powerful. Although I tried my best, there was still a gap between us. I just let her suffer a little loss, and then I lost to her."
Murong Fu's description was very brief, and he did not explain any details.
Things like beating the Queen Mother of the West into the emperor's new clothes are not something that should be told to outsiders. It is best to just remember them silently in your heart.
There is no need to talk about the Queen Mother of the West's tricks or my own tricks.
But everyone imagined a big drama.
In their imagination, Murong Fu and Lady of the Nine Heavens fought from the Qionghua Sect to the outer realm, causing darkness to spread and the sun and moon to lose their light. Both of them possessed the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, and they wiped out the avenues outside the realm.
But Jiu Tian Xuan Nu had practiced for a longer time and surpassed Murong Fu.
However, the fact that Murong Fu could fight with Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu to this extent is already the greatest miracle since mankind began to cultivate immortals.
In the past, immortals could not even defeat the Queen Mother of the West, let alone ordinary gods.
The most typical example is Xuan Xiao. Xuan Xiao is also a rare genius in the world of immortal cultivation and he has become an immortal. However, he does not even have the qualifications to fight with the Queen Mother of the West. With a wave of her hand, the Queen Mother of the West sealed him in the Qionghua Sect along with passers-by A, B, C, and D.
When the Purple Yin Immortal Murong Fu became an immortal, he was able to compete with Guang Chengzi. Now he can escape unscathed from the presence of the Queen Mother of the West. This man is truly the leader of the immortals and has the potential to become the founder of Taoism!
"Ziying, you were able to escape unscathed from the presence of Lady Xuannv and rescue us, which was beyond my expectation." Su Yao exclaimed, "How old is Lady Xuannv, and how old are you? You are truly the greatest legend of our Qionghua Sect. At your age, if you continue to practice for a few more years, you will surely be able to strengthen the sect and surpass Lady Xuannv, becoming a true Taoist ancestor."
As she spoke, Su Yao looked at Murong Fu with eyes that were extremely passionate. She wished she could fight with Murong Fu in bed for three hundred rounds right now, and listen to Murong Fu telling her in his ear how he fought with the Queen Mother of the West.
For a long time, the Qionghua Sect has been worshipping the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. In Su Yao's mind, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady is the embodiment of the highest power, and Su Yao has always been a fan of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.
The moment Lady of the West appeared, Su Yao's will was shaken and she almost knelt down before her.
But Murong Fu actually created a miracle that was comparable to the Queen Mother of the West with his mortal body. This made Su Yao's three views change greatly. When she thought that such a powerful man had an affair with her, Su Yao clamped her legs together, her heart was fluttering, she bit her lips lightly, and she was dazzled.
Xuan Xiao asked, "I'm sorry, but my power is still too weak to give a loud slap to Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu's face. Her perverse theories are really unacceptable to me. It's obvious that the God Realm wants to restrict mortals like us from ascending for their own selfish reasons, but they say it so righteously. It's really shameless. And your performance proves that we mortals can fight against destiny. Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu wanted to suppress us in the vortex of the East China Sea, but you can prevent us from this tragic fate."
"But what is this place? Why is it so strange? I can't sense the aura of the God Realm. Even the aura of the Immortal Realm is very faint."
Xuan Xiao was very keenly aware that there was something wrong with this space and time.
"I originally wanted to escape to the Demon Realm by involving the Qionghua Sect in the Mountain and River State Map. The Demon Realm is guarded by the Demon Lord, so its power can compete with the God Realm. By hiding in the Demon Realm, we can accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. After all, if we are really suppressed under the vortex of the East China Sea, we will never be able to reincarnate." Murong Fu said, "But the Demon Lord saw my intention of using the Demon Realm to avoid danger. He was not very happy and punched me and knocked me into this parallel time and space. I survived his punch and his resentment disappeared. This parallel time and space is a future time and space that is different from our time and space. Practicing here can also avoid the eyes and ears of the God Realm."
Murong Fu spoke and briefly explained the concept of parallel worlds to everyone.
There are no stupid people among those who can practice cultivation, and everyone will understand it quickly.
"Let me introduce to you all. This is the future leader of Shushan, Dugu Yuyun, also known as the Sword Saint of Shushan." Murong Fu pointed at the Sword Saint.
Everyone looked at the Sword Master, with curiosity and inquiry in their eyes.
Especially the people of Shushan, they all found it very novel and were curious about the quality of the future leader of Shushan.
The Sword Master remained calm and composed in the face of danger. He looked at everyone calmly and demonstrated his high demeanor.
Even compared to the cultivators of five hundred years ago, the Sword Saint did not feel inferior. Indeed, apart from Murong Fu, who was a heaven-defying contestant, the Sword Saint's cultivation was not much inferior to Xuan Xiao, who had not yet become an immortal. And his swordsmanship was far stronger than Xuan Xiao's.
Among this group of cultivators, he is considered a dragon among men, standing out from the crowd at first glance. Only a few people can be on par with him, such as Master Wei Jing.
"Although we are not in the same time and space, our Shushan has indeed had successors." Wei Jing was very satisfied with the Sword Saint and nodded, "The sword spirit is condensed all over his body. Such attainments are rare among the leaders of Shushan throughout the generations."
The Sword Saint said, "Senior's sword intent is also amazing. In the history I know, Senior and the Demon King perished together in the Demon Locking Tower. But now Senior has survived and instead became the head of Shushan. This is truly a blessing."
Wei Jing and Jian Sheng are both masters of swordsmanship, and belong to the same sect. When they look into each other's eyes, they naturally feel a sense of mutual admiration and cannot help but be moved.
"This is the Drunken Swordsman of the Shushan School. As the saying goes: He rides the sword on the wind and slays demons between heaven and earth." Murong Fu recited the Drunken Swordsman's opening poem in a joking manner.
In front of so many people, all of whom were seniors, the Drunken Sword Immortal felt extremely ashamed. His old face turned red with embarrassment. He waved his hand to interrupt Murong Fu and emphasized, "I am Situ Zhong, just an ordinary elder of the Shushan Sect. I am nothing special. I am not worthy of the title of Drunken Sword Immortal. How dare I call myself an immortal in front of a true immortal?"
The Drunken Swordsman had a very arrogant personality. Originally, he had the qualifications to be arrogant. His swordsmanship was once among the best in the world.
However, after seeing Murong Fu's strength, the Drunken Sword Immortal no longer dared to be so high-profile. He could feel that there were countless masters in the Qionghua Sect, and his nickname of the Drunken Sword Immortal was indeed not enough to overwhelm the situation.
"This one is my new disciple Li Xiaoyao. I have asked him to join the Shushan Sect and inherit the Shushan Sect's legacy in the future." Murong Fu introduced Li Xiaoyao again, and then said, "These three are all characters from this time and space. To us, they are people from the future. However, because we are in a parallel time and space, our meeting will not have any impact."
After knowing the identities of the three Sword Masters, everyone had a deeper understanding of the concept of parallel time and space.
They also figured out the whole story: Qionghua Sect took them to ascend together, but was stopped by Jiu Tian Xuan Nu. Murong Fu fought Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, but couldn't win, so he prepared to flee to the demon world. The Demon Lord didn't allow it, and sent Murong Fu to this parallel time and space, and they followed him here. The bad news is that this is no longer their original world, and the ascension to immortality has failed. The good news is that they don't have to be suppressed under the whirlpool of the East China Sea to suffer, which is a blessing in disguise.
But everyone also has some questions, such as why Murong Fu made the Queen Mother of the West so angry, what kind of treasonous thing did he do, did he know that the gods would prevent everyone from ascending?
Most people don't dare to ask these questions, and keep them in their hearts. But some people dare to ask them.
I only heard the Shushan Sect's headmaster Wei Jing ask: "Ziyin Immortal, you rescued us from the clutches of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and saved us from being suppressed in the East China Sea whirlpool. We are all very grateful to you. But did you know that the Qionghua Sect's collective ascension plan would be blocked by the God Realm?"
If Murong Fu had known this earlier, but still led everyone to ascend together, it would be somewhat suspicious that he was using everyone to fill a hole.
"I have some guesses, but I'm not sure." Murong Fu said, "After all, our Qionghua Sect's collective ascension plan failed last time, and the God Realm didn't send down any decree saying that this wouldn't work. As the saying goes, the power of immortals is granted by the gods. We cultivators have always been dependent on the God Realm and have been under the gods' sway. How dare we speculate on the motives of the God Realm with the greatest malice? When the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens showed up, the leader of our Qionghua Sect was surprised and happy, thinking that the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens was coming to greet us! Our leader behaved like this, and everyone has seen it. Doesn't this just show that our Qionghua Sect views the God Realm with complete kindness?"
Everyone recalled Su Yao's excited expression when she met the Queen Mother of the West, and they were instantly convinced that the Qionghua Sect would definitely not have known in advance that this would be the result.
Su Yao is already the leader of the Qionghua Sect and a top-level leader among the top-level leaders. Even Su Yao is not sure, so Murong Fu certainly cannot be sure either.
Everyone nodded.
Murong Fu added, "Besides, I have already become an immortal, and Senior Xuan Xiao from our Qionghua Sect has also become an immortal. We are confident that we can succeed in becoming immortals. The reason why we are still doing collective ascension is because of the concept of the Tang Dynasty Immortal Cultivation Alliance, which is that everyone should practice and become an immortal. This opportunity to directly ascend to the immortal world is rare, are you willing to miss it? It would be a bit cruel to blame our Qionghua Sect now."
“We don’t blame the Qionghua Sect, we blame the God Realm for being too harsh. We just wanted to go to the Immortal Realm, but the God Realm sent down heavenly fire to burn our mountain gate and suppress us in the East China Sea vortex for a thousand years. It is still unknown whether we can live for a thousand years!” Tian Heng Zhenren of Penglai Sect said, “We are still very grateful to the Qionghua Sect and to Immortal Ziyin. If it weren’t for Immortal Ziyin, we would have been thrown into the East China Sea vortex and turned into dry bones. Thank you!”
Master Tianheng knew what the general trend was, and he did not doubt Murong Fu. He was also very knowledgeable about the ways of the world, unlike a driver in later generations who was criticized for not saying thank you.
Master Tianheng's words of thanks were so heartfelt that everyone in the Qionghua Sect felt a favorable impression of him.
"Qionghua Sect has also suffered the same punishment as us. If Qionghua Sect knew the attitude of the God Realm in advance, they would definitely not take risks with their sect." Tianshi Sect's head Zhang Wushuang said, "It is so difficult to become an immortal. Even if the opportunity to become an immortal is very dangerous, we will not let it go. Since we are involved in this matter, we have become aware of it. Moreover, the current result is not bad. We, Tianshi Sect, also want to thank Immortal Ziyin!"
"Yes, we have to thank Immortal Ziyin!"
"Thank you, Immortal Ziyin!"
The top leaders of various sects expressed their gratitude to Murong Fu.
"I have to express my gratitude, but the Queen Mother of the West said that you, the Immortal Ziyin, stole the fruit of the sacred tree and released the spirit of Shennong. What's going on?" Wei Jing asked.
"When I learned of the attitude of the God Realm, I was furious, so I used the method of One Qi Transforming into Three Pure Ones to secretly send out clones to cause some minor troubles in the God Realm and the Fengshen Mausoleum under the jurisdiction of the God Realm." Murong Fu said, "Stealing fruits is a small matter and not worth mentioning. You went to a farmer's house to pick two fruits, is it a big crime? I can only say that the God Realm is really too stingy."
"The real key is to release Shennong's spirit. My apprentice Han Lingsha is from a family of tomb raiders, and is proficient in finding dragons and dividing gold, and in moving mountains and hills. Han's ancestors once went to the Tomb of the Gods, and knew that Shennong's spirit was inside. Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and combed the nine springs, and he had made great contributions to the world, so he should not be sealed."
"Moreover, the predecessor of the Demon Clan was the Beast Clan, which was created by Shennong. Demon Lord Zunlou is the son of Chiyou, the leader of the Beast Clan. Shennong is equivalent to Demon Lord Zunlou's grandfather. If we release Shennong's spirit and rescue Demon Lord Zunlou's grandfather, it would be equivalent to doing a favor to Demon Lord Zunlou, and Demon Lord Zunlou would definitely be more willing to protect us."
"It's just that I didn't expect that Shennong's spirit was so damaged that it had already turned into a vengeful spirit, filled with only hatred and anger. I had to destroy Shennong's spirit, that's all. It's not a big deal, and you don't have to be too surprised."
Everyone's expression was distorted: This is not a big deal? Neither of these two things is a small matter, right?
However, Murong Fu's reason was that after the fall-out in the God Realm, he sought refuge in the Demon Realm for everyone and gained favor from the Demon Lord. So no one could blame Murong Fu and could only complain in their hearts that this Ziyin Immortal's ability to cause trouble was truly unique in ancient and modern times and he had really created a huge mess.
Seeing everyone's different expressions, Murong Fu said loudly: "Everyone, after going through so many things, all of us are on the blacklist of the God Realm. Now we are hiding in a parallel world, and the God Realm cannot find us. Otherwise, it would not be the goddess of the Nine Heavens, but a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals who would come to arrest us. We are now really on the same boat."
When everyone thought about it, they all smiled bitterly, helplessly, and numbly.
They are really like grasshoppers on the same rope, they prosper together and suffer together.
The reason why Wei Jing asked Murong Fu those sensitive questions was not because he was dull and ignorant of the ways of the world, but because he was too knowledgeable about the ways of the world and knew that everyone had doubts in their hearts, so he asked them on their behalf and gave Murong Fu a chance to explain.
Once some things are said, the hidden dissatisfaction will disappear.
Although Murong Fu is extremely powerful and is not afraid of these things, he is not alone. He is a member of the Qionghua Sect and has disciples. He must eliminate the conflicts within the Tang Dynasty Immortal Cultivation Alliance before they become invisible.
At this moment, Murong Fu had explained everything clearly, so Wei Jing decisively represented the Shushan Sect and began to express his position. He said with a firm look, "We want to become immortals, but the gods won't let us and want to punish us. Can we surrender? When I was chatting with Ziyin Immortal before, he talked about the glory of our human race. Back then, we humans were unwilling to be enslaved by the gods, so we led by Nuwa to resist the tyranny of the gods. We are all part of the Tang Dynasty Immortal Cultivation Alliance. We are people who are in the same boat. Now, we must unite sincerely! We, the Shushan Sect, firmly support the Qionghua Sect and the Ziyin Immortal!"
Murong Fu patted Wei Jing's shoulder and said loudly: "Master Shushan said it well! Eliminate the tyranny of the gods, and humans will never be slaves!"
"Eliminate the tyranny of the gods, and humans will never be slaves again!"
Everyone shouted slogans together.
This kind of catchy slogan is the easiest way to boost people's morale.
Afterwards, all sects and schools expressed their desire for unity. Even Murong Fu's mother-in-law, Chan You, represented the Mengmo clan and joined the Tang Dynasty Immortal Cultivation Alliance.
"Unity is a must." Xuan Xiao asked, "Simply hiding in a parallel universe is not a long-term solution. Ziying, do you have any good ideas to break the impasse? I see that you are confident and not panicking at all. You must have already made a plan, right?"
