“It’s you? Kong Zai ……” Zhu Shen Yi was dumbfounded, he thought that Kong Zai’s god and soul had long since nirvana died. Even if Kong Zai did not die and was reincarnated, he could not have cultivated so quickly to surpass him in strength, huh?
“That’s right, it’s me, Kong Zai. Zhu Shen Yi, I, Kong Zai, have never wronged you. Not to mention you, even for friends in general, I, Kong Jie, have never backstabbed others. Why are you doing this?” Kong Zai’s face looked extremely disappointed.
Zhu Shen Yi had already reacted, he sighed and without hesitation, he threw the Taiji Human King Skill in his hand to Kong Zai and took out a jade box and threw it to Ning Cheng, “You can have the stuff, if you want to kill it, please do so.”
Ning Cheng grabbed the jade box and his divine sense swept the box to see that it was indeed a fixed loam. He was also puzzled, Zhu Shen Yi really felt ashamed, and this was why he took the initiative to hand back the item and then waited for death?
No, Ning Cheng quickly understood. He had fought with Zhu Sanyi and had long known that Zhu Sanyi was ruthless and would never hand over something out of shame. He handed over the stuff because he knew that in front of himself and Kong Zai, he had no chance of walking away, so he might as well be dry like this.
Kong Jie grasped the Taiji Human King’s Skill, which he did not know how many years he had lost and returned to his hands again, and felt a lot of emotions. When he was first assassinated and robbed of the Taiji Human King’s Skill, he didn’t even know who dared to do it. Little did he know that it was Zhu Shen Yi.
“You have the Tai Shi Chang Tian Skill, why did you assassinate me and snatch away my Taiji Human King Skill?” Kong Zai did not make a move against Zhu Shen Yi, but asked in a gruff voice.
Zhu Shen Yi said with a despondent expression, “Because I was assassinated by Xiao Wen and the Taishi Long Heavenly Skill was snatched away by Xiao Wen. I saw that you were badly injured, so I had evil intentions. So if you want to kill me now, I have no half-hearted opinion.”
“Impossible.” Kong Zai said without hesitation, “Big brother Xiao Wen has an extraordinary temperament and is compatible with the world, so how could he assassinate you to snatch the Great Beginning Long Heavenly Secrets?”
Zhu Shen Yi frowned slightly and simply said, “He was the one who backstabbed, believe it or not.”
Ning Cheng did not say anything, the Long Heavenly Secret of the Great Beginning was in his possession, and the origin of this technique did have something to do with Xiao Man. Whether it was Xiao Wen who had assassinated Zhu Shen Yi, he did not know, nor did he want to know. As for returning the Great Beginning Long Heavenly Skill to Zhu Shen Yi, Ning Cheng had never thought about it.
If it was something that belonged to Kong Zai, he might have returned it. He had no good feelings towards Zhu Sanyi.
“Fellow Daoist Ning, let’s go. At least we are brothers, I don’t want to kill him ……” Kong Zai did not continue to go after this matter, but looked towards Ning Cheng. Obviously, he wanted Ning Cheng to spare Zhu Shen Yi for once.
The Tai Shi Realm was Zhu Shen Yi’s territory, so since he did not want to kill Zhu Shen Yi, he could only go. Ning Cheng did not care about killing Zhu Shen Yi or not. If Kong Zai wanted to take revenge, he would support him. If Kong Zai was not willing to take revenge, he would not say much either.
When Ning Cheng and Kong Zai walked out of the Tai Shi Realm, Kong Zai looked very silent. Ning Cheng did not know how he should comfort Kong Zai, the five Daoist Monarchs of the Five Tai Beginning Realm were still very close back then.
After leaving the Great Beginning Realm, Kong Zai took the initiative to say, “Brother Ning, back then, although the five of us had competition, we were like brothers. Even the creation battle was fought together. It was also because of that Great Battle of Creation that the five of us died the deaths. Xiao Wen was always our big brother, he was generous and bold, and he was also the strongest. If it was said that he would assassinate Zhu Shen Yi and snatch the Taishi Long Heaven Skill, I really found it hard to believe. But again, my intuition tells me that Zhu Shen Yi is not lying.”
Ning Cheng patted Kong Zai’s shoulder and decided not to hide it from Kong Zai, “Brother Kong, I once went to the Jiaqiang Sea. I saw Xiao Man’s bones in the Jiaquan Sea, but of course I don’t know if that dead person was Xiao Man or not.”
“The Formless Daoist Monarch had fallen in the Jia Quantum Sea?” When Kong Zai heard this, his expression dimmed, then he murmured, “Also, he was good friends with Nie Xiu, the second son of the Jiaquan Daoist Monarch ……”
Ning Cheng continued, “Nie Xiu did fall there as well, the Formless Daoist Monarch should have been severely injured and then hit by the Axe Pattern Dao Rhyme of the Creation Indestructible Axe, at that time he was unable to drive out that one Dao Rhyme breath and ended up falling in the Northern King’s Mansion.”
“Have you seen …… anything there?” asked Kong Jie worriedly, only halfway through the question, he didn’t ask any further.
Knowing what Kong Zai was going to ask, Ning Cheng simply said, “I did see the Great Beginning Long Heaven Skill, and this technique is on my person right now.”
Kong Zai fell silent and only after a long time did he let out a long sigh, “Back then, the five of us found the Five Tai Tai Realms and after opening them up, we grabbed five clusters of innate Dao Rhyme Golden Light. One of them, the Formless Daoist Monarch Xiao Wen, got the Devil Scroll and the Dao Scroll, and he merged the Realm of Tai Yi. The Daoist Monarch of Long Heaven, Zhu Shen Yi, obtained the Heavenly Scroll, and he merged the boundary with Tai Shi.
The Earth Daoist Monarch Shen Yun received the Earth Scroll, which merges with the Tai Su Realm. I received the Human Scroll, the Harmonious Realm of Taiji. At the beginning, the five of us swam in the vast void and talked about the endless years ……”
At this point, Kong Jie paused for a long time before sighing long and hard once more, “Back then, the five of us were so united in our ambition that we even named the Five Taiji Realm of Creation. Unfortunately, nowadays things are different, cultivation to a higher level, long life span, still can not break, the human heart ah ……”
When Ning Cheng heard Kong Zai say this, he swallowed the words he wanted to ask Kong Zai to help him check if Shen Yun was in Tai Su. Regardless of whether or not Shen Yun was there, he was Kong Zai’s friend at first. If he invited Kong Jae to deal with Shen Yun now, it would be a bit unkind. It was as if a new friend had invited him to take on Tai Shu Shi, could he do such a thing?
Kong Zai obviously saw Ning Cheng’s embarrassment, the wistful look on his face had long since dissipated and he said in a calm tone, “Don’t you have a Dao Court in the Tai Su Realm and a Tai Su Mountain? I will leave again when you have repaired the Tai Su Realm. If you have something to do, you can go ahead and get busy, Tai Su Mountain is foolproof with me around.”
Ning Cheng cupped his fist and said, “Many thanks, Brother Kong.”
He had heard what Kong Zai meant, whether or not Shen Yun was hiding in the Tai Su Realm, he would not tell Ning Cheng of Shen Yun’s whereabouts. But he also promised that he could stay in Tai Su Mountain and help Ning Cheng guard the territory. Even if Shen Yun resurfaced, he would not cause harm to him, Ning Cheng.
This kind of outcome was the best for Ning Cheng, then.
In fact, if the Earth Daoist Monarch was really in the Tai Su Realm, Ning Cheng would not be afraid of him. At most, the Earth Dao Monarch was similar in strength to Kong Zai, and even if he was stronger, he would not be outrageously strong. After Kong Zai had obtained the Taiji Human King Skill, he was definitely a cut above him in strength. But his strength after merging with the Dao, coupled with the Tai Su Mountain’s protective formation, would not be weaker than Shen Yun.
His only worry was what would happen once Shen Yun appeared when he was not in the Tai Su Realm. According to Shen Yun’s thinking, he might treat the Tai Su Realm as his own acre of land. If he were to recover, the Tai Su Dao Court would even be wiped out by him.
Such an ancient powerhouse would definitely not care about life. Now with Kong Zai’s promise, he wouldn’t care either.
What’s more, once he started restoring the Tai Su Realm, then even if Shen Yun was hiding in the most hidden corner, he would still know about it.
……
The Tai Su Realm is as it was before, and the Tai Su Dao Court is under Li Feng’s control without any change.
As soon as Ning Cheng returned, Li Feng knew about it and was still the first to bring people out to welcome him.
“Li Tingzhu, it has been hard for you while I was away.” When Ning Cheng saw Li Feng, he hurriedly greeted him first.
Even though Ning Cheng was considered to be Li Feng’s Daoist Monarch, he had great respect for Li Feng. Li Feng had been most helpful to the Daoist Court, and it was a help without much selfishness. The only selfish intention was to let the Du Xuan Ancient Clan prosper again after Ning Cheng had repaired the Tai Su Realm. For this selfishness, he was even willing to take out the Yearly Wheel.
Li Feng looked at Ning Cheng in shock, “Daoist Monarch, you have succeeded in merging with the Dao?”
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “Yes, by a fluke, I succeeded in merging with the Dao. I won’t be back for long this time, and I will be going out again soon. When I return, I will bring a few of you to merge the Dao.”
When he said this, Ning Cheng also sighed in his heart. Dao Harmonization was difficult, and only in terms of the rule-broken Tai Su Realm. In that place in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, a Dao Harmonization Saint Emperor was really nothing.
“Good, good ……” said Li Feng joyfully, he believed that Ning Cheng would not lie to him. Of course he was elated to merge with the Dao, more importantly, how powerful should Ning Cheng’s strength be after merging with the Dao? One could say that the Tai Su Realm was worry-free.
Back then, when Ning Cheng was a mixed Yuan, he could easily kill a Harmonized Dao Saint Emperor. Now that Ning Cheng had merged with the Dao, that strength was even more unspeakable.
“By the way, Li Tingzhu, that Han Shallow Wei didn’t do anything, right?” Even though Ning Cheng was not worried about Han Shallow Wei, he still asked.
“No, Deacon Han has found numerous restoration materials and I have observed him for some time, he is very dedicated. It looks like he does want the Tai Su Realm to be restored sooner as well.” Li Feng replied.
Ning Cheng nodded, “I’m still lacking a type of Hengyang, I’ve gathered all the other materials. When I find the Hengyang Soil, the Tai Su Realm can be repaired.”
When Li Feng heard that only one type of Hengyang Soil had not been found, he was immediately excited. If it wasn’t that such things couldn’t just be divulged, he would want to tell everyone in the Tai Su Realm.
When Ning Cheng had first said that he wanted to restore the Tai Su Realm, he had thought that it was just a belief. The reason why he fully supported it was so that the Tai Su Realm would have this belief. Little did he know that only how many years had passed since then? Ning Cheng actually had a way to repair the Tai Su Realm.
He, Li Feng, had indeed not misjudged anyone.
Ning Cheng could sense Li Feng’s excitement and said to him with a fist once again, “Li Tingzhu, I am going out for a short period of time this time, so if there is anything that I cannot resolve, then I will find the Tai Su Mountain directly. I have already occupied a place in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and when the Tai Su Realm is restored in the future, I will set up a transmission array to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven here.”
“Don’t worry, Daoist Monarch, Li Feng will definitely remember Daoist Monarch’s instructions.” The Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was very important to someone like Ning Cheng, to Li Feng it was far less than a single hair of the Tai Su Realm.
Ning Cheng did not go to the Tai Su Dao Court and directly took Kong Zai back to Tai Su Mountain.
Almost all of them were in seclusion at Tai Su Mountain, so Ning Cheng did not bother to disturb them, he was going to call Ruo Lan and Luo Fei a few more out of seclusion when he next returned.
After just greeting Chu Man Ho and introducing Kong Zai, Ning Cheng left the Tai Su Realm in a hurry. He had to seize the time to search for Ye Mo, and absolutely could not miss the opportunity to enter the Chaos Realm. Once he missed it, in the future, if he was allowed to search for the Chaos Realm on his own, there was no telling when he would have to wait.
