Chapter 4073 Painting Traces

Latest website: Arriving at Zijun Star, Zhang Ruochen activated the selfless lamp and enveloped the entire planet with light.

Then, he dared to release his perception.

If there is no light covering it, wherever the perception goes, it will be noticed by the truly terrifying existence in the universe, just like the passing geese leaving traces.

"He's not on this planet!"

The light shrinks quickly.

Zhang Ruochen turned around with the lantern and boarded the deer cart again.

Wen Qingxiu's face changed suddenly, and she chased after him, saying: "My lord, Qingxiu never deceived you! When I sent Ming Jing away from Zijun Star, I asked him to take shelter on this planet temporarily. He must have been on the way here. There was an accident.”

Inside the car: "Get in the car and go to Confucianism."

Wen Qingxiu and Liao Kuo looked at each other and boarded the deer cart one after another.

The deer car drew a trace of light, broke through the lavender atmosphere of Zijun Star, and entered the dark and boundless void of the universe.

Wen Qingxiu sat opposite Zhang Ruochen, with a worried look on her delicate and white face, and said, "Master Di Chen, do you think he went to the Confucian world?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Besides the Confucian world, where else does he go?"

When he went to the Confucian world, he naturally looked for the fourth Confucian ancestor and told him the secret of the painting.

"The book world has been a branch of Confucianism and Taoism in the Kunlun world for many years. For the monks in the book world, Confucianism is equivalent to faith and a powerful person worthy of respect and trust. Since he did not choose to hide, the path left to him , that’s the only way!”

Wen Qingxiu saw Zhang Ruochen's frown and asked tentatively: "Confucian Ancestor can be trusted, right?"

"Yes, everyone in the world thinks so." Zhang Ruochen chuckled.

Wen Qingxiu saw the sharp light flashing in Zhang Ruochen's eyes and knew that the situation might be developing in the worst direction.

If Confucian Ancestor was really worthy of trust, why would Di Chen take the risk and take action personally?

Wen Qingxiu was calm and intelligent after all, and said: "The reputation of Confucian Ancestor is spread all over the world, and countless gods come to pay homage. There are at least thousands of messages about the painting sent every day. It is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. . With Mingjing’s great sage cultivation, it is not easy to meet Confucian Ancestor, but it may still be too late.”

…

Liao Kuo drove the deer cart with all his strength with the spirit of the gods.

Arriving outside the Confucian world, they divided into two groups. Zhang Ruochen and Liao Kuo went to Zhongyong Pavilion.

Wen Qingxiu took the last step to enter the Confucian world and look for Xu Mingjing.

Zhongyong Pavilion is the first pavilion in the Confucian world and the preaching residence of the fourth Confucian ancestor. There was a lot of people outside the pavilion, and monks from all walks of life gathered together, but inside the pavilion it was quiet and quiet.

Zhang Ruochen was hiding in Liao Kuo's divine world and came outside Zhongyong Pavilion.

"The Confucian ancestor, Liao Kuo, the Confucian and Taoist spirit of the Kunlun realm, paid a visit with a letter written by Emperor Chen."

Zhu Gong, a respected figure in the world of Confucianism, put his hands together, bowed and reported to the pavilion.

"Let him in!"

An old but energetic voice came out.

The vermilion door of Zhongyong Pavilion opened, and a dazzling white divine flower burst out from inside.

A tall and upright figure walked out of it. His long white hair was neatly combed. He was not old, but looked to be in his forties. His whole body was full of a sense of sanctity and inviolability.

There are pairs of white wings on his back, showing the noble status of the angel family.

The aura was so strong that Liao Kuo could only stare at the ground. He was unable to count the number of wings on the person's back, making it difficult to guess his identity.

Being able to meet alone and secretly with the Fourth Confucian Patriarch means that his status will not be low.

Liao Kuo could feel the other person's eyes flashing past him. At this moment, the spiritual body almost burned, which was extremely uncomfortable.

After the man left, Liao Kuo entered Zhongyong Pavilion.

I saw.

In the main hall, there are two rows of bronze chimes, large and small. They are full of ancient charm and seem to contain the terrifying power of death. You can feel your soul trembling even before you get close to them.

Next to the chime, stood an old man wearing a green robe, a square scarf on his head, white hair, and bright eyes.

Liao Kuo was impressed by the invisible magnanimity of the Fourth Confucian Patriarch. He couldn't help but bow and salute. He was filled with emotions. He was just a middle-ranking god, but he got involved in the competition of big shots in the universe. His horizons were broadened, but he also couldn't help but bow. Humble to the dust.

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch had kind eyes and kind eyes, and said with a smile: "Aren't you the one who wants to see the old man?"

Liao Kuo couldn't block the question from his soul and blurted out: "Yes..."

"Wow!"

Zhang Ruochen walked out of Liao Kuo's divine world, waved his hand and said, "Go out and wait."

Liao Kuo was granted amnesty and quickly left.

As the door of Zhongyong Pavilion slammed shut, the space inside became dark, with only the bronze chimes still emitting a faint light.

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch was obviously surprised and said: "I never thought that we would meet again in this way. Why is Ruochen so cautious and secretly visiting?"

Zhang Ruochen, of course, wanted to restrain the Fourth Confucian Patriarch from noticing Wen Qingxiu, so he said, "That person just now is Ke Luo from the Temple of Light, right?"

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch nodded and said: "He was very frightened and came here to confess, hoping to gain forgiveness from me and the gods of Kunlun Realm."

Zhang Ruochen said: "Confucian Ancestor forgives you?"

"I can't make a decision for the entire Kunlun Realm! However, on behalf of the Heaven Realm, he is willing to use whatever he can to compensate all sentient beings in the Kunlun Realm. I think this is an acceptable option."

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch continued: "Today's universe is facing multiple dangers and challenges. We must unite all the forces that can be united to deal with it. Just like, those who attacked the Kunlun Realm back then were the tribes of the Hell Realm. Are you not a kind to them? Tolerant mentality?”

Zhang Ruochen looked at the Fourth Confucian Patriarch with an expression of disbelief and said, "Isn't this different?"

"What's the difference?"

"Master Tai said that each generation has its own grievances, and their generation will have to reckon with itself. We were not the ones who experienced the disaster in Kunlun Realm back then, but you were! Isn't the betrayal and calculation of allies more hateful than that of enemies?" Zhang Ruochen said.

"In your opinion, what should we do? Destroy the heaven world to relieve the resentment in our hearts? Doing so is tantamount to making the entire heaven an enemy. The participants in the hell world will also panic, the universe will be divided, and the war will resume. Is it possible? Isn’t that what Corpse Nightmare and Hongmeng Black Dragon want to see?”

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch continued: "Ruochen! You know very well that it was the Liang Organization and the Ming Ancestor faction that provoked the war between the Heavenly Universe and the Hell Realm. They were the initiators. So, you destroyed the entire Liang Organization. ! These words were spoken by Corot to the old man. He is also a victim and has been used by the organization! If the heaven world is destroyed, how many innocent people will die! "

"I never said I wanted to destroy the world of heaven."

Seeing that the Fourth Confucian Patriarch remained silent, Zhang Ruochen said again: "Is Ke Luo just being used by the Liang organization? For the sake of the position of dominating the world in the Western Universe, did he really not take the initiative to do anything dirty? I don't believe it."

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch sighed: "Perhaps what you said makes sense, I just don't care about this matter. I believe that Wentianjun, Island Master, and Jiwang will give an explanation to those who died in Kunlun Realm."

Zhang Ruochen was even more disappointed with the fourth Confucian Patriarch in front of him.

He may really be thinking about the overall situation, or he may have a broad mind, but his feelings for the Kunlun Realm and the feelings for all the living beings who have passed away in the Kunlun Realm are by no means as deep as Taishang's.

If a person only focuses on the top things and ignores basic human emotions, he is definitely not a person worthy of admiration.

Zhang Ruochen said: "I came to the Confucian world secretly because I have a few questions that have been lingering in my mind. I hope Confucian Ancestor can clear up my confusion."

"It's okay if Ruochen just talks about it," said the Fourth Confucian Patriarch.

Zhang Ruochen said: "I heard that the Eternal Prime Minister is the second Confucian ancestor. I hope to get a definite answer."

"Is this answer important to you?" asked the Fourth Confucian Patriarch.

Zhang Ruochen said: "It's very important! Because Qing Cang once told me that after the death of the holy monk, it was the God Realm that took away the sundial, and it was also the God Realm that damaged the sundial. If the second Confucian Patriarch was the Eternal Prime Minister, why did he see him then? If you can’t save it, why destroy the sundial?”

Of course, the exact news was not told to Zhang Ruochen by Qingcang, but by Wuying.

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch showed a sad look on his face and said: "Does Ruochen still remember the Curse of Burning Blood? Do you still remember the demise of the Saint Clan? At that time, Zhen Zai was outside the void, fighting with the Ming Ancestor faction, waiting to defeat them. Retreat, and by the time we rush there, it will be too late! We took the sundial away because we didn’t want it to fall into the wrong hands."

"As for why the sundial was stripped of its weapon spirit and its power suppressed, in fact, it was all for you and the Kunlun world. A complete sundial is a disaster, but a broken one is of great use."

"Without the sundial, how could you have cultivated to your current level so quickly? Can the Kunlun Realm quickly return to its peak of prosperity?"

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch spoke with sincerity and sincere eyes, and said: "Ruochen, you have always been the person chosen by the God Realm. We all believe that you can revitalize the Kunlun Realm. Because the Holy Monk is optimistic about you, we absolutely believe in the Holy Monk." vision."

"Our expectations for you are actually much more than that. Mingzu and Liangjie are the two biggest hurdles. Only by passing them can all people in the world have a way to survive."

"Although I am called the ancestor by the world, in fact, I have no chance to attack the ancestor. I will definitely turn into a handful of loess. You are the future!"

How could Zhang Ruochen believe what he said and said: "The Eternal Prime has lived for many years and has not yet died. This shows that there is a method of immortality in the God Realm. It should not be a problem for Confucian Ancestor to live for another ten dynasties."

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch heard the sarcasm in Zhang Ruochen's tone and smiled bitterly: "Ruochen misunderstood! The reason why the Eternal True Master can live for millions of years without dying is because the speed of time in the divine world is completely different from that of this universe. Even if In this way, the final day of the Eternal True Master is not far away."

"I believe that he will definitely meet you in person before his death. Looking at the universe, only you can take over the position of ruler of the eternal heaven."

Zhang Ruochen said calmly: "I'm a little flattered by this! I already have the answer in my heart, so I'll say goodbye."

"If Chen is careful about Ming Ancestor, he may be lurking next to you and wants to use you to deal with the Eternal Heaven and God Realm. Don't let your loved ones hate your enemies. The dismal ending of Ming Ancestor is the best example."

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch looked at Zhang Ruochen's leaving figure, shook his head and sighed.

Suddenly, he twirled his white beard with his hand and realized something. He immediately released his mental power to explore the entire Confucian world, peeling off cocoons and deriving cause and effect and heavenly secrets.

The traces left by Wen Qingxiu and Xu Mingjing were quickly discovered.

But the two of them had already left the Confucian world.

The Fourth Confucian Patriarch extended his spiritual power beyond the realm of Confucianism, but was greatly surprised when he could not find any traces of Zhang Ruochen, Liao Kuo, Wen Qingxiu, and Xu Mingjing.

"He completely disappeared between heaven and earth! It's just a clone. How did he hide it from my mental perception?"

Although the Fourth Confucian Patriarch was shocked, he did not take the next step.

Even if Zhang Ruochen found the painting first and unlocked the secret inside, he would only be targeting Ming Zu. Isn't this the result he wants to see?

The Ancestor of the Underworld is hidden too deep, and he must be dug out.

…

Deer inside the car.

Wen Qingxiu said: "With the spiritual power of Confucian Ancestor, it is impossible to keep it secret for a long time. He will definitely notice that something is wrong. Lord Dichen, will the book world become a victim?"

"Won't!"

Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly and said: "First, the Book World is in the Wuding Divine Sea and is protected by the Sword World. Second, the Fourth Confucian Patriarch actually has a fatal weakness."

"What's the weakness?" Wen Qingxiu asked.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Morality! He acts from the height of morality, so he must be bound by morality. Go, you and Xu Mingjing return to the Confucian world now, tell the secret of the painting in a high-profile manner, and become his disciple. You have to give up. All the monks in the world know this!"

Wen Qingxiu and Xu Mingjing were both shocked.

Zhang Ruochen's tone softened and he said: "I don't want to involve you, but the matter has come to this, and this is your biggest way to survive. As long as you succeed in becoming a disciple, the Fourth Confucian Ancestor will definitely give you the best protection."

Zhang Ruochen took out the two magic pills and magic talismans that he had prepared long ago, handed them to Wen Qingxiu and Xu Mingjing respectively, and said: "There are too many dangers around me, and this is the only thing I can give you."

"If the Fourth Confucian Patriarch asks about the secret of that painting, how should we respond?" Wen Qingxiu asked.

"Just tell him what you told me just now."

Zhang Ruochen has never thought of keeping this secret to himself. His strategy has always been to use the Eternal Heaven to check and balance the Ming Ancestor faction.

The reason why we must find that painting before the Fourth Confucian Patriarch is because we don’t want to be led by the Eternal Heaven, let alone become a tool to be used.

He has to take the initiative himself!

After sending Wen Qingxiu and Xu Mingjing away, Zhang Ruochen ordered Liao Kuo, "Go to heaven!"

According to the information obtained from Xu Mingjing, the Xu family has been looking for the painting for generations. Indeed, some clues have been found, and it is almost possible to seize it.

However, they were robbed by the Temple of Light on the way.

To be precise, the Temple of Light plundered the entire book world at that time.

Therefore, Xu Mingjing believes that the painting is most likely in heaven.

An authentic work of Su Zilian, and related to Kassapa Buddha, this painting will almost certainly be delivered to Corot's hands step by step.

If it were just this clue, Zhang Ruochen would be disappointed.

But Corot actually appeared in the Confucian world and went to meet the Fourth Confucian Patriarch at such a sensitive time, so the value of this clue would be at least ten times greater.

Zhang Ruochen had to go to heaven himself.

…

The sacred mountain of Mal is majestic and vigorous. The dark blue mountain stretches across the plain, undulating, mysterious and distant.

The temple made of huge rocks on the top of the mountain is said to be the entrance to the Ancestral Realm. In the hearts of countless monks in the Heaven Realm, its symbolic significance is even greater than that of the Temple of Light.

It was outside the Mar Temple that Zhang Ruochen caught up with Corot who was about to enter the temple.

"The master of this palace has always been on guard. I vaguely felt that someone was targeting me. I thought it was the Fourth Confucian Patriarch. I didn't expect it to be you."

Ke Luo saw that Zhang Ruochen was just a clone, and the shock in his eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by a faint smile.

Zhang Ruochen was wearing a black robe, with only half of his face exposed, and said: "The palace master's perception is so sharp, beyond my expectation. It seems that the palace master has been in seclusion for these years, and his cultivation has indeed made great progress."

Corot turned his back to the Temple of Mar, the sun was shining on his head, and his reflection on the ground was very short, and he said: "In terms of progress, who in the world has progressed faster than you?"

"May I ask if the palace master's improvement in cultivation is the result of the Ming Ancestor faction? Was Afya a member of the Ming Ancestor from the beginning?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Corot's eyes were strange, and the smile on his face gradually brightened, and he said: "Let me tell you why the secret of that painting suddenly shocked the universe. It turns out that you are behind it!"

"boom!"

The wings on Ke Luo's back were all unfolded, and the light was dazzling, like hundreds of millions of sharp arrows, shooting at Zhang Ruochen's clone.
