“After comprehending the Great Dao of the Chaos Hole, I will officially ascend!” He suppressed his thoughts and walked out of the temple. After more than too years of seclusion, it was time to go out and relax.
He Stepped out of the hall. In the blink of an eye, the Earth Immortal’s magic power enveloped the entire Changling Mountain. Looking at the terrain of the earth vein and the spiritual energy and vitality, he revealed a satisfied smile.
“Greetings, Earth Immortal Ling Zhen.” When Martial Uncle Ling Wu saw Shen Ping taking a walk, he hurriedly went forward and bowed.
Shen Ping smiled and said, “Ling Wu, has there been anything wrong with the Dao Sect recently?”
In the past 100 years, thanks to the rich vitality of Changling Mountain, Martial Uncle Ling Wu had also become a Perfected Person.
Ling Wu said, “The incense is flourishing, and the Dao Sect is steadily improving. The ancestors are full of praise. They say that at this speed, my Changling Dao sect will definitely be ranked among the strongest Dao sects in the world.”
Shen Ping could not help but laugh. The ancestral masters of Changling was quite confident.
“Earth Immortal Ling Zhen, the imperial court has been unstable recently. Many Dao sects have been deducing the heavenly secrets. It’s said that the fate of the Great Zhao imperial court is declining and there’s a sign of the destruction of the country. Every such period is a huge opportunity for the Dao sects. If they can support the new dynasty and stabilize it, the Dao sects will be protected by the dragon qi for a thousand years. During this thousand years the development of the Dao sects will increase rapidly.”
Shen Ping shook his head. “Changling doesn’t have to participate in such a competition. Even without the protection of the dragon qi, a thousand years is enough for me to grow.”
Ling Wu hurriedly said, “Understood.”
After the two of them separated, Shen Ping came to Yin Shu’s Daoist Hall. All these years, Yin Shu had been in seclusion like him. She would only come to the blessed land every night to have fun with him.
“Junior Brother!!” Sensing Shen Ping’s aura, Yin Shu opened her eyes and shouted.
Shen Ping went forward and hugged her waist. “Senior Sister, you’re already a Perfected Lord Daoist. There’s not much progress in cultivating diligently. Only by traveling the world and accumulating experience can you have a new understanding of the world.”
Yin Shu was different from him. With the talent of devouring and his true spirit, he naturally did not need to travel the world. Not Yin Shu. Even with Immortal Emei’s guidance, it was difficult for Yin Shu to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth on her own unless she gave up her consciousness and chose to fuse with Immortal Emei’s consciousness.
Yin Shu didn’t say anything. Shen Ping continued, “Look at your eldest senior sister. The moment she became a Perfected Lord, she went to Ling Yin Temple I heard that she recently went to the East Sea to cause trouble.”
Yin Shu said faintly, “I just can’t bear to part with you. If you travel with me I’ll go out.”
Shen Ping was speechless. In fact, he knew that the reason why Yin Shu was hke this was because she had been affected by the Earth Immortal’s words previously. As a result, she had the thought of hating the world and only wanted to hide in the peace of Changling Mountain.
Immortal Emei had revealed this to him when she was controlling her body After a moment’s thought, he nodded. “All right, I’ll travel with you.”
After using the great dao of heaven and earth to cleanse the blessed land for a long time, even if his true spirit was powerful, he would still feel tired. This time, it would take at least three years to five years for him to relax At the same time, he would bring Yin Shu along to travel and see the changes in the world. It was not a loss of pleasure.
Yin Shu’s face lit up. “Thank you, Junior Brother.”
Several days later, Shen Ping set off from the Jian Province along Yunjiang. Other than Yin Shu, there was also Ghost Concubine. Ghost King Youyue originally wanted to follow, but there were still many things to deal with in the Daoist temple, so she could only stay.
The river was turbulent, and there were some dangerous places where the water splashed up layers of waves. However, after driving the narrowest distance, the river became wider, and the water slowed down. Gradually some pleasure boats appeared.
When they reached the surface of Jiangzhou, the number of boats on the water of Yunjiang increased drastically, and it looked like a prosperous scene on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
Ghost Concubine said, “The governance of Yunjiang has been quite good these past few years. The people on both sides of the river are doing well, but it’s only limited to the nearby areas. It’s not possible to go further. Bandits are rampant, and ghosts and demons are prevalent. It lasted for nearly a hundred years.
“But those Daoists did not care. They only cared about resisting the imperial court.”
Shen Ping’s expression was calm. When the world is prosperous, it’s profitable But the Imperial Court wanted to reduce the number of Daoists, and the Daoists could not even protect themselves, so how could they care about the commoners? It could only be said that the imperial court had good intentions but their means are too ferocious.
However, there was nothing he could do about this. All the emperors of Great Zhao wanted to push it, but unfortunately, they did not think of a way to get the best of both worlds. When it came to Rende’s era, he gave a strong push, so the backlash was naturally very strong.
His fingers moved. He deduced the direction of the dragon qi and the future fate of the Great Zhao. It was indeed obvious that the fate of the country was declining greatly. However, he could only deduce the general direction of the ate of the country. As for the exact situation, no one could predict it. This was also the main reason why he did not let the Changling Dao lineage participate in the battle for the dragon vein.
After all, this matter was not very useful to the Changling Dao Sect. With the support of his spell formation, the Changling Mountain would prosper sooner or later.
Let s go to Yunjiang Dragon Palace as guests.”
No matter what, Yunjiang Dragon God has done well all these years. Speaking of which, it was because of him that he had to make a trip.
The tour is over. The knot in Yin Shu’s heart eased a lot. At the very least, she no longer only knew how to cultivate in seclusion like before. She returned to the Daoist temple and began to take care of the vegetable garden to recuperate. This kind of thing that was close to life could allow a Perfected Lord to comprehend the world. As for Shen Ping, he went into seclusion to cultivate again.
Years passed.
Emperor Jing Ren had only been in power for less than 50 years before he died loss of vitality. The next successor was also as promiscuous as Jing Ren. It seemed that the descendants of Great Zhao inherited Jing Ren’s frolics. The further they went, the worse it became. After three emperors, in 170 years, Great Zhao’s situation was extremely bad. Bandits were everywhere in the ’ world, and the commoners rebelled. Gradually, there were signs of chaotic times.
Just as the various Daoist sects were preparing to rub their fists and support the dragons and snakes in fighting for the dragon vein, the fourth emperor of Great Zhao was a ruler of restoration. On the first day of his ascension, he canceled the policy of reducing the number of Daoists and gave kindness to the various Daoist sects. Moreover, he gave various tax exemptions, instantly relieving the crisis of the Imperial Court.
Many Dao factions continued to watch. At the same time, they began to help the Imperial Court rebuild the City God’s Nether Division, slay demons, and protect the people. In just 30 years, the Imperial Court had changed completely. Although there were still many bandits in the prefectures the number of demons and ghosts had decreased drastically.
After conserving their strength, the imperial court sent an army to encircle and suppress the bandits everywhere. Seeing that Great Zhao had recovered and the people were living and working in peace, in the 40th year, this ruler fell ill and died.
The next emperor was tyrannical and ruthless. He was bloodthirsty. After only two years of ascending the throne, he revealed his true nature. He built buildings and gardens, causing the treasury that the country had painstakingly accumulated to be emptied. Then he imposed additional taxes, causing the people of the world to fall into poverty again.
Some Daoists could not stand it anymore and wanted to secretly get rid of this emperor. Unfortunately, with the enhancement of dragon qi, ordinary Daoists could not approach him at all. Coupled with the fact that there was a faction behind him, they failed to assassinate him repeatedly.
In the end, 52 years after he ascended the throne, the various states and prefectures rebelled one after another. They started a battle for the dragon vein in the name of purifying the emperor. For a time, the world seemed to have entered a chaotic world.
However, the emperor did not care at all. He continued to enjoy himself. He even built a wine pool and a forest of meat in the palace and took concubines.
“The fate of Great Zhao is about to collapse.” A Daoist sighed. In fact any Daoist with some cultivation could see that the last hope of Great Zhao had been extinguished by this emperor. Even if another ruler appeared, it would be useless. The Dao lineages in the world no longer continued to watch and directly participated in the battle for the dragon vein.
Each contest for the dragon vein was extremely tragic. It was both an opportunity and a root of destruction. However, even though they knew the risks, many Daoists still joined without hesitation. After all, this was a chance to become a Perfected Lord or even condense a blessed land to break through to the Earth Immortal realm..
