#1761 - Guanlan Questions and Answers
Watching Qin Shenge being dragged into the ghost realm, the group of cultivators fell silent. The affairs of the four great families were neither too important nor too trivial. They hadn't paid much attention to them originally, but after hearing about Qin Shenge's situation, most of them felt a sense of unease.
“This matter is concluded, I have other things to attend to, I'll take my leave first,” Ji Dongfeng said, his expression slightly indifferent.
Seeing this, Hu Banshan's heart stirred. He approached Ji Dongfeng and said in a deep voice, “Boy, where are you going? You did well this time, you can return to the sect to receive a reward.”
“Let's just remember it for now, I won't return to the sect for the time being,” Ji Dongfeng said, his emotions not easing much.
“Are you… harboring resentment towards the sect?” Hu Banshan asked.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng glanced at Hu Banshan and said, “The Myriad Ancient Soaring Heavens Sect should be well aware of the situation on Taiping Island, right? Why didn't they intervene in the first place? Why did they wait until now?”
Hu Banshan sighed upon hearing this and said, “I knew you would have this kind of thought. You should know that in the First Heaven, the Myriad Ancient Soaring Heavens Sect could be said to be a sect that no one dared to provoke. But in the Third Heaven, the sect's position has been greatly affected, and the relationships between various forces have become increasingly complex.”
“In the eyes of most cultivators in the Third Heaven, the lives of mortals are not worth mentioning compared to the influence of the four great families. The Myriad Ancient Soaring Heavens Sect can stand up for mortals and cause trouble for the four great families, but that would give other sects a reason to…”
Before Hu Banshan could finish speaking, Ji Dongfeng interrupted, “I don't understand these things. I only know that if the sect master and elders of the Myriad Ancient Soaring Heavens Sect from the First Heaven were here, they would never have allowed this to happen. Elder Hu, I can't understand it, I need some time to think.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Dongfeng's figure disappeared from the spot before Hu Banshan could react.
Seeing this, Hu Banshan frowned slightly and said softly, “I hope you can figure it out… The lives of mortals versus the reputation of the sect…”
Inside the B King Cave, Ji Dongfeng's figure appeared.
“Preparing to go to the Great Greenwood Tree?” Dongfeng Po asked.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng nodded and said, “While I'm away, take care of Chusheng and Gu Guai.”
“Don't worry, I know what to do… If there are some problems you can't figure out, I don't think you should think about them, it will only add to your troubles,” Dongfeng Po said.
After finishing speaking, Dongfeng Po continued to focus on lighting up his spirit heart, while Ji Dongfeng packed up and then used the Demon Emperor's ability to directly teleport to the Demon Emperor Greenwood Tree.
The moment he returned to the Demon Emperor Greenwood Tree, all the demons within the tree were alarmed, and the chiefs of various races came to pay their respects at the first moment.
Upon seeing Ji Dongfeng, the faces of the clan chiefs changed. Compared to the last time they met, Ji Dongfeng's strength had improved a lot. If they had some small thoughts in their hearts before, then at this moment, these thoughts had all vanished, leaving only awe.
“Don't be so nervous, all of you disperse, continue to seize the time to cultivate. I'm here to find Mu Qing,” Ji Dongfeng said.
“Buzz…”
In the next moment, a space passage slowly emerged, and Ji Dongfeng entered without the slightest hesitation.
After passing through the passage, Ji Dongfeng looked up and found that this was a golden space. Mu Qing was standing in the middle waiting for him.
“Your strength has really improved quickly,” Mu Qing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng chuckled and said, “I came here for two things. The first thing is, do you know about the news that the Hong Lord and the Filth Lord are about to descend upon Honglin? Honglin will soon become a battlefield.”
“I know this. The demon race's cultivation has also become much stricter, in order to welcome the arrival of that day,” Mu Qing said.
“The Demon Emperor Greenwood Tree is located on the edge, so the impact it receives will be smaller. What do you plan to do? Defend this place to the death, or take the initiative to attack?” Ji Dongfeng asked.
Hearing this, Mu Qing smiled slightly and said, “You are the Demon Emperor, why ask me?”
Ji Dongfeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, “Okay, I understand. The second thing is, have you ever heard of the Skin Sack Greenwood Tree?”
“The Skin Sack Greenwood Tree… you actually know about that strange Greenwood Tree… Since you know the word 'Skin Sack', then you should also know about the Inner World,” Mu Qing said.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's eyes lit up and he said, “You really know some information.”
Mu Qing pondered for a moment and said, “I don't know much about that Inner World, but as an experimental tree, I do know some secrets more than ordinary Greenwood Trees. I can tell you that the Hong Lord knows about the Inner World. To be precise, that is a world specially prepared by the Hong Lord. Even, the Hong Lord has a divided spirit in that world.”
“A divided spirit?!” Ji Dongfeng's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
“That's right, I even think that the Inner World is a method specially prepared by the Hong Lord for the Filth Lord, but I don't know how he will use this method. I only know this much. It seems that you already know the method to enter the Inner World,” Mu Qing said.
“That's right.”
“Since you have already made up your mind, I won't stop you. Be careful, that Inner World is already dangerous, and the Skin Sack Greenwood Tree in the Inner World is even more bizarre, you must be careful.”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice, “I will remember it.”
After a few words, just as Ji Dongfeng was about to leave, Mu Qing's voice rang out again.
“Ji Dongfeng, you have doubts in your heart at this moment. In this state, you are not suitable to enter the Inner World. I can't tell you much, only four words: adhere to your original heart,” Mu Qing said.
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred, he nodded, and then left the Demon Emperor Greenwood Tree, summoned the Demon Emperor Sword-Dragging Beast, and hurried towards the Great Greenwood Tree at an accelerated speed.
“Adhere to your original heart… adhere to your original heart… Cultivators don't care about the lives of mortals, this is wrong in my opinion, but why do the vast majority of cultivators in the Third Heaven think it doesn't matter? Cultivators in the First Heaven can still die to protect mortal commoners, why have many things changed in the Third Heaven? One's own fame and fortune, the lives of thousands of mortals… which is more important? Why can't many people understand such a simple principle?” Ji Dongfeng sat on the back of the Sword-Dragging Beast, constantly thinking.
“Why bother with these things? Just do what you think is right,” Qingfeng said.
“In the Third Heaven, cultivators' realms have improved, and the distance between them and mortals is getting farther and farther. The higher one goes, the higher one's vision becomes. In the First Heaven, looking down on mortals can still be seen as humans, but in the Third Heaven, looking down on mortals is only regarded as ants. This is a change in realm and vision, and realm and vision determine one's state of mind. In the First Heaven, how many cultivators care about the life and death of ants?”
Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred. After hearing Zhao Guanlan's words, he vaguely felt that he had grasped something.
“Ding, the degree of illumination of the Spirit Heart Dao has been increased to 90%! Congratulations on obtaining the Spirit Heart trait, Union!”
“Union: Can unite all spiritual gods in the space whose qualities are inferior to one's own, and comprehensively improve one's own spirit heart in a short period of time!”
