#1853 - Learn to check and balance

Above Demon Cloud State, a group of beings stared in shock at Immortal Datong. At this moment, Shui Huanyan's body was nearly shattered, her soul forcibly separated from her body, appearing extremely weak.

"Immortal Datong! What are you doing!" Feng Ding turned his head fiercely towards Immortal Datong, roaring in anger, rushing to Shui Huanyan's soul as he spoke.

Immortal Datong chuckled upon hearing this, saying, "Elder Feng, wasn't I clear enough just now? You need to know who Shui Huanyan is threatening at this moment. It's the person who nearly single-handedly eradicated the filth of the Three Heavens, the strongest person in the Three Heavens right now, and someone who will join the Filth Eradication Army."

"Ji Dongfeng just wiped out Filth Cloud Heaven, resolving a hidden danger for the Three Heavens. Yet, before he could even leave, he was threatened like this. I believe the vast majority of beings in the Three Heavens can't stand to see this. If no one takes action, wouldn't it chill Ji Dongfeng's heart?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the beings of the Three Heavens couldn't help but change. Their gazes towards Immortal Datong were filled with strangeness. They understood that Immortal Datong's words held some truth, but they were shocked that Immortal Datong's attitude towards Ji Dongfeng had changed so quickly.

"Even so! You shouldn't have acted directly! Immortal Datong! Shui Huanyan is, after all, the former Pavilion Master of the Myriad Talisman Pavilion! She has made countless contributions to the Three Heavens! Moreover! We just experienced the pain of losing a son! Can't you understand a mother's despair!" Feng Ding roared furiously, Shui Huanyan's soul behind him, her expression blank.

"The current Three Heavens doesn't need past contributions, nor does it need sympathy. What we need are true powerhouses, a powerhouse who can protect the beings of the Three Heavens in this chaotic world," Immortal Datong said.

Ji Dongfeng took a deep look at Immortal Datong upon hearing this. He could tell that Immortal Datong was speaking sincerely.

"Interesting. This Immortal Datong is an absolute pragmatist. He knows what is most important to him at this moment, and he always makes the most advantageous choices for himself," Ji Hui said.

"It is precisely for this reason that he was able to become the Lord of Immortal Sea. You must know that before Ji Dongfeng, he was known as the strongest person in the Three Heavens. But now, he can unhesitatingly call Ji Dongfeng the strongest. This person's disposition is quite interesting," Ying Long said.

"Alright, Feng, you have other more important things to do, right? Go ahead, I'll handle things here. Remember to return to the sect once you're done," the long-bearded old man said.

Ji Dongfeng nodded upon hearing this, turning his head to look at Chen Huatian, smiling, "My treasure..."

"I'll send it to the Myriad Ancient Sky-Supporting Sect immediately!" Chen Huatian's expression changed upon hearing this, and he quickly said.

"Good, and that Sky-Piercing Horn," Ji Dongfeng smiled.

"What Sky-Piercing Horn? Oh, you're talking about your treasure, the Sky-Piercing Horn, right?" Chen Huatian said, the Third Elder beside him also lowering his head in silence.

Ji Dongfeng laughed loudly upon hearing this, turning his head, standing with his hands behind his back, his figure flashing, quickly rushing towards the Filth Giant Tree.

Chen Huatian breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this, feeling the strange gazes of the crowd, he said in a deep voice, "What are you looking at? Even if he wants to take a tour of the treasure vaults of the major sects right now, we can only agree!"

Feng Dingxiong's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Then my son..."

"What your son? He deserved his fate today, it has nothing to do with Ji Dongfeng!" Chen Huatian said coldly.

The surrounding beings sighed in their hearts. From now on, Ji Dongfeng would be a unique existence in the Three Heavens, no one daring to provoke him, no one daring to anger him.

At the same time, beside the Filth Giant Tree, Ji Dongfeng pondered for a moment, deciding to try to destroy this giant tree.

"Kid, wait a moment."

The next moment, before Ji Dongfeng could act, a shout rang out.

Ji Dongfeng turned his head upon hearing the voice, and found that the person speaking was none other than the Carefree Immortal, whom he hadn't seen for some time.

Compared to the past, the Carefree Immortal looked somewhat haggard at this moment, and the aura on his body had also become somewhat weak.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Ji Dongfeng asked. In his opinion, the Carefree Immortal was a remnant of the Heavenly Dao, worthy of being called Master.

The Carefree Immortal was first stunned upon hearing this, then chuckled, saying, "You don't have to call me that. I broke off relations with the Heavenly Dao long ago. Compared to me, your relationship with the Heavenly Dao is closer at this moment."

Ji Dongfeng chuckled upon hearing this, "It doesn't matter. In my opinion, you are ultimately a part of Master. Even if there's no connection, I should still call you that. Have you been watching the battle all along?"

"That's right. After you absorbed the First Heaven, I've been paying attention to you. Your current strength has surpassed all beings in the Three Heavens, and you don't need me to take action," the Carefree Immortal said.

"I came this time mainly for two things. The first is to hand over Er'Wang to you. He can help you in the future. The second thing is to advise you not to destroy this Filth Giant Tree."

Ji Dongfeng was first stunned upon hearing this, then said in confusion, "Why? This giant tree doesn't seem like a good thing."

"It's indeed not a good thing. This is a method arranged by the Filth Lord in many Hong Trees, used to deal with the Hong Lord. During this time, both the Hong Lord and the Filth Lord are preparing for the arrival of the battlefield, each preparing many methods," the Carefree Immortal said.

Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this, saying, "You mean..."

"If you want to walk a path that belongs to you, then you must learn one thing, and that is balance," the Carefree Immortal said.

"The gap between you and the Hong Lord and the Filth Lord is too great at this moment. This gap cannot be compensated by your methods. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao and the Hall of Laws watching, you would have been wiped out long ago. In this situation, you must learn to balance, trying as much as possible to make them restrain each other."

Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice upon hearing this, "You mean, let me ignore the Filth Lord's method, but... this method is destined to harm the beings of the Three Heavens, and will harm the Youming Hong Tree."

The Carefree Immortal chuckled upon hearing this, saying, "When will you be able to see higher and further, you will also be able to enter the next stage... How about this, I promise you, I will guard this giant tree, I will not let it harm the Youming Hong Tree."

"More importantly, this giant tree may be useful to you."

"To me? What use is it to me?" Ji Dongfeng said in confusion.

"To build a true world, you always need some sturdy wood."
