Special Episode: Peak Separation (1/2)

God said.

The main hall of the Origin Temple.

Thirty-four copper pillars as thick as millstones are arranged in sequence, with reliefs of various mythical beasts and species between heaven and earth, supporting the spacious and majestic hall. In the hall, the lights are brightly lit, the spiritual pool is filled with smoke, and the divine attendants wearing colorful ribbons and silk ribbons rush to and fro, presenting various kinds of fine wines and fruits.

Zhang Ruochen was dressed in regular clothes, with his hair tied in a simple bun, holding a golden page of "The Sutra of the Origin of the Supreme Being", and sitting in the first seat on the right row in the hall. That posture, that appearance, that look, he didn't look like Zhang Gushen's father, but more like his brother.

Not a single word of origin on the gold paper was left, and it had long since escaped to the other end of the Great Wall of Beizawa with the clone of the Supreme Origin.

The words can only be reproduced through deduction or through the power of reverse time.

"Wow!"

With the power of going against time, it poured into the square inch where the gold paper was.

The disappearing words of origin reappeared one by one, like living creatures, beating and flickering on the paper.

But only Zhang Ruochen was visible.

Xiang Chunan stood behind Zhang Ruochen, lying on the back of the chair, trying hard to open his eyes like copper bells, his face almost touching the gold paper, and said: "There is nothing, what is there to see? Brother , If you ask me, I should have asked a few more ancestors to take action at that time, and leave those origin texts and the clones of the bullshit Origin Supreme. After studying them clearly, knowing ourselves and the enemy, we can have greater confidence in future fights. "

"What you said makes sense, so why didn't you invite me?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Xiang Chunan showed a look of embarrassment: "How can I easily invite the ancestor? Moreover, no one thought that when I went to hunt for a nine-death emperor, I bumped into a strong man from outside the universe? Who could have thought of it? Who could have predicted it in advance? Judgment?”

Zhang Ruochen smiled noncommittally, put the gold paper away, hid it in his sleeve, and said as if talking to himself: "This Taoism that originated from the Supreme Being has the same origin as the Baize and Burial Gold of the previous era. The existence of time as the measure of life is really not simple. "

Although a large number of catastrophes have not yet come, the Era War can definitely be regarded as a watershed between the old and new eras.

From then on, the heavenly universe, hell, sword world, heavenly wasteland, and earthly wasteland will gradually become the past, and will be replaced by the six-path universe, or the war galaxy.

Now is the beginning of the new era.

Shi Qiandai said: "Master's long lifespan and infinite Taoism, how can you, a junior, be able to predict it?"

Zhang Ruochen was not angry, and his soft and smiling eyes finally fell on her.

Shi Qiandai is nearly two meters tall, and her body proportions are extremely perfect. The length of her straight and snow-white legs is three points longer than that of Luo Yi, who has the same leg length.

Although he is already a prisoner, bound by the chains of Haotian's ancestor rules, his eyes still have the cold arrogance of the Queen of Heaven and the Emperor of God.

She glanced at the empty throne at the top of the hall and said, "Where's the great emperor? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"

In Shi Qiandai's view, she was the half-ancestor of Kamikura Furuzawa and a disciple of Supreme Origin. How could she attract the attention of the number one person in the Zhan Galaxy?

After being escorted to the Origin Temple for so long, she only saw the young man in front of her with Xiang Chunan, which was really not what she expected.

Xuetu sneered: "I, the greatest emperor of the Six Paths Universe, are sitting in front of you, but you can't recognize him. To say that you are short-sighted is an insult to the word knowledge."

Sitting beside the table filled with fine wines and fruits, Zhang Gushen, Wuyue, Moon God, Monk Fanchen, Venerable Cihang, Qingsi Xue, Jingdao Man, Meng Ge and others all had more or less expressions on their faces. 's smile emerged.

"He is..."

Shi Qiandai stared at Zhang Ruochen again, first of all in disbelief.

But the more I looked at it, the more shocked I became.

This young man has completely returned to his original nature and does not see any of the aura that should be expected of an extremely strong man.

The weirdest place is right here.

She is not an ordinary monk, but a well-informed half-ancestor, the top living being in the universe.

Even if someone like Origin Taishang uses Qi-condensing methods, she can feel something extraordinary.

Zhang Ruochen smiled and nodded to her: "I am not a great emperor, and the six realms have long been taken care of by the God of Grain. But I think I should be the person you want to see."

Shi Qiandai quickly calmed down and said: "It's unbelievable that a being with a cultivation level as strong as yours can actually make a group of inferior monks sit on an equal footing with you. With such a lack of majesty and the collapse of etiquette, you are not afraid of fighting against the order of the galaxy. Chaotic and falling apart?”

"Inferior monk...who are you talking about?"

Xiang Chunan was a little anxious, thinking that Shi Qiandai might be talking about him.

"What about you?"

The man in the well acted like he had nothing to do with himself. He picked up the white jade cup and drank tea with an air of enjoyment.

He is the pinnacle of the Half-Ancestor and is invincible under the First Ancestor. How could he be an inferior monk?

Xiang Chunan said: "She is talking about a group of people."

The man from the well thought carefully, his eyes suddenly bulged, and he said angrily: "Di Chen is easy-going and has a heart that is open to all rivers. Sitting with me, we are brothers and friends. We are bound by old friendships. Why did it come into your mouth?" ...It means the collapse of etiquette.”

"Di Chen, Pindao wants to fight her again. This time one on one, I won't be able to defeat her."

Zhang Ruochen raised his hand to stop and appease the people in the well, and asked with a smile: "Does everyone in the Virgo Super Galaxy Sea respect etiquette?"

Shi Qiandai did not expect that the other party was such a reasonable and polite person, so elegant and extremely charming. If the two parties were not in a hostile relationship, she would really admire him.

This is the thought.

She was shocked.

The other party can reach the pinnacle of cultivation, and there must be a sea of ​​blood and corpses under his feet. How could he be a simple person?

Abnormal, there must be a trick.

Shi Qiandai said coldly: "The sea of ​​galaxies is vast and boundless, the universe is magnificent, and there are more than tens of millions of civilizations. Naturally, not everything is based on etiquette and law."

"But the king is the king, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, and the son is the son. The upper level follows the lower level. This must be the key to the stability of a civilization."

"If the upper level is corrupt, the lower level will be immoral."

"If the upper level is lenient, the lower level will be chaotic. It has been like this since ancient times!"

Zhang Ruochen looked at Zhang Gushen: "What do you say?"

Zhang Gushen was calm and steady. He stood up and said: "I would like to argue with Senior Shi! In my opinion, the key to the stability of civilization is definitely not those old and corrupt etiquette and laws."

"The king and the minister, father and son, upper and lower levels, set up these strict hierarchical systems, which seem to be in line with the code of conduct, but in fact it is a master-slave system. Although it can maintain a temporary stability, Peace is just restraining human nature and forcibly suppressing the unfairness. Once it erupts, the sky will fall. "

"Besides, if the superiors are lenient but the laws are not, how can the subordinates be in chaos?"

"The old etiquette and laws are full of bad habits. The new laws should be supplemented by virtues, and virtues should be imposed on oneself. If the way is spread throughout the world, if everyone follows suit, wouldn't it be more popular than the relationship between the monarch and the minister, the father and the son?"

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhang Gushen bowed to Zhang Ruochen and said, "Father, I request that from now on, I will summon the wise men of the world to jointly compile the six new laws."

"Approved!"

Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and said, "Miss Shi is a half-ancestor of the universe who has seen the world and a big figure in the House of All Living Beings. She is knowledgeable. Let her help you write books and make laws. You should ask her for advice and learn with an open mind."

Everyone in the hall was surprised.

Even Shi Qiandai herself looked suspicious, feeling that she was caught off guard.

You know, on the way to being escorted, she had prepared to be buried in the palace, imprisoned forever, tortured... and so on.

"What does this mean? Big brother, you gave her an official title?" Xiang Chunan said that it was difficult to understand.

Zhang Ruochen nodded, pointed his finger over, and commented: "Miss Shi is beautiful and has extraordinary knowledge. She is a half-ancestor and a disciple of the origin of the supreme master. If we abandon such a talent in the war star system, won't we be ridiculed by people outside the universe? Besides, Miss Shi has not committed any mistakes. Why can't we be more generous and tolerant?"

Jing Daoren said: "She colluded with the Nine Deaths Yi Tianhuang and wanted to subvert my Six Dao Universe."

"Where is the Nine Deaths Yi Tianhuang now?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Jing Daoren said: "He is dead."

Zhang Ruochen asked again: "Has she ever killed a cultivator from the Six Dao Universe?"

Jing Daoren was speechless for a moment and had nothing to say.

Xue Tu stood up suddenly: "Brother, you are so wise! With such a magnanimous demeanor, your reputation will surely spread far and wide in the Virgo Supergalactic Sea. Will the monks from outside the universe come to join you in the future? I think that we should not only let Senior Shi be an official, but also let her get a more honorable position, such as the imperial concubine... just ignore what I said."

In the hall, including Shi Qiandai, several people cast cold eyes, and Xue Tu sat back in fear.

How could Shi Qiandai not see through Zhang Ruochen's trick? She sneered: "Your Excellency thinks that by using such a low-level counter-espionage plan, Master will lose trust in me? Shen Cang Gu Ze will regard me as a traitor? Playing with a person's fate is indeed a very interesting thing, but it is easy to be backfired."

"How will it backfire?"

Zhang Ruochen asked with interest.

Shi Qiandai said, "If you don't kill me today, when Master and the army of Shencang Guze cross the Beize Great Wall and the Origin Temple collapses, I will never care about your kindness today, but will become a member of the army that subverts the Six Paths Universe."

"It doesn't matter. I can still bear this backlash." After thinking for a while, Zhang Ruochen said, "By the way... we call ourselves the Six Paths Universe, and you cultivators from the outer universe call us the War Star System? Your change is very good and you changed it quickly."

"Wow--"

When Zhang Ruochen waved his hand, the chain of the ancestral rules that bound Shi Qiandai disappeared from the surface of her body and sank into her flesh and blood, restoring her freedom of movement.

Shi Qiandai was overjoyed. What she wanted to see most was to be despised by the other party.

This way she would have a chance to escape!

But soon, the joy she had hidden in her heart disappeared completely. Because she saw that Zhang Ruochen had actually molded a clay figure that looked exactly like her in his hand.

This is clearly the method of her master "Origin Supreme"!

The clay man and her are already connected by fate.

If the clay man is broken, her real body will also be torn into pieces.

Xuanyuan Taihao was able to break the clay man and get rid of the magic of the shadow of the clone of the Origin Supreme because he was the ancestor and his cultivation was strong enough. And Shi Qiandai had no confidence in breaking the magic of the Heavenly Emperor.

She restrained her mind and dared not have any more distracting thoughts. She sat down in an orderly manner.

The banquet officially began.

This was a welcoming banquet. After all, Jing Daoren, Mengge, Cihang Zunzun, and Fanchen Monk were all big names in the universe. They couldn't come to the Origin Temple without even a cup of tea.

What's more, they were old friends.

During the banquet, Zhang Ruochen asked about the whereabouts of Xutian and Gaimie.

Jing Daoren told him that the two had a guilty conscience and did not dare to come to the Origin Temple. After killing the Nine Dead Emperors, they left. He also emphasized that Xu Fengjin had taken away an ancestor mark and three artifact seals. He hoped that Zhang Ruochen could give him a beating at an appropriate time to prevent the old ghost from being too arrogant.

"I heard that my senior brother is going to get married. I wonder which senior sister-in-law he is going to marry?"

When Xue Tu asked this question, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the Moon God.

There was no emotion on Luna's flawless face, and she sat dignified and quiet, like a listener who had nothing to do with herself.

Zhang Ruochen also stared at the Moon God and said deliberately: "That's a lot! A confidant in youth, a beauty in times of need. Some are already engaged, some have been married for a long time, and of course I like it. But she didn’t want to…”

Hearing this, Shi Qiandai snorted: "I thought the emperor was such a gentleman, but it turned out that he was just a hegemon who forced others to suffer for his own pleasure. If others don't want to, there must be her reasons. You marry by force, and you have something to do with bandits. What's the difference?"

"I didn't force you to marry me, so why do you talk so much?" Xue Tu said.

Shi Qiandai's face changed slightly and she didn't dare to say anything. She was really afraid of being favored by the great emperor of Zhan Xingxing and forcibly marrying her as his concubine. Then she would really not be able to go back and she would be spurned and insulted by the entire Kamikura Furuzawa monks.

Xuetu glanced at everyone in the hall and quietly sent a message to Zhang Ruochen: "The unwilling sister-in-law that the senior brother refers to is Master Fengtian?"

Even Xuetu himself felt awkward asking this question.

Zhang Ruochen said: "What are you doing with Chuanyin? She's not here, what are you afraid of?"

"Senior brother... you are not afraid, but Master is known as the God of Death. There is no one under the First Ancestor whom she dare not kill."

Xuetu smiled bitterly, and continued to use voice transmission, saying in a low voice: "I think it's not that Master Fengtian is unwilling to become a Taoist couple with his senior brother, but that he is unwilling to marry the Emperor of Tiandao and become a member of the Nine Palaces and Seventy-two Gardens. One of the concubines. She has feelings in her heart, but it is a very possessive feeling and she is not willing to share it with anyone. "

"Moreover, the weight of love in her heart may not be as important as that of the ancestor. So this matter is very difficult to handle!"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Some things are not up to her. Let's do this. I am short of someone to go to the Temple of Destiny to propose marriage. You are my dearest junior brother, can you go there for me?"

Xue Tu was so frightened that he almost fell off his seat, attracting curious glances.

Xuetu quickly sent a message and begged: "Brother, please spare me! I dare to go to the Temple of Destiny with the betrothal gift. Believe it or not, Master Fengtian will cut it into eight pieces on the spot and put it into the betrothal gift box for you. Send him back? She will only feel that I have betrayed her. Besides, there is no reason in the world for a junior brother to pay tribute to his master, right?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "You think of Caiyi too cruelly! She actually has a gentle side, not so scary."

Xue Tu disagreed and said quickly: "I still hold the same view as before. Senior brother, you should be stronger and do it yourself. Master is a tough person but not soft. She can't beat you!"

"Do you have to touch Fengtian's hair backwards?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Xue Tu said: "Yes, yes, that's the truth."

"Okay! I will tell her exactly what you said." Zhang Ruochen said.

Xue Tu was about to cry but had no tears. He was forced to think hard about countermeasures. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have a plan!"

"speak!"

Xuetu said: "First let Queen Chi Yao list the charges, remove Master Fengtian from her position as the palace master, and capture her to the Origin Temple. Then let Emperor Ming and Master Xuehou go to propose marriage. Other people's face, Fengtian The master won't give it, but she must consider it carefully if these two go there in person. In this way, senior brother won't have to be a bad guy, and everything should fall into place."

"What a good strategy. He is worthy of being the proud disciple of Lord Fengtian." Zhang Ruochen thought about it carefully and felt that Blood Massacre's strategy was very good, but the specific implementation required more careful consideration of the details.

Xuetu was completely wilted and sighed: "Senior brother... you don't have to scold him so harshly..."

…

After the banquet, the monks left one after another and did not stay in the Origin Temple for long. After all, their trip was just to escort Shi Qiandai to the Origin Temple for trial.

Before leaving, everyone claimed that they would come with generous gifts to congratulate the emperor on his wedding day.

Zhang Ruochen sent Venerable Cihang out of the palace, condensed a green lotus of eternal merits in the palm of his hand, and said: "The Venerable gave up all the merits of all lifetimes and gave up the path of the ancestor to help me break through. Today, Ruochen returns with extreme gratitude. , This green lotus also contains a piece of my spiritual practice.”

Venerable Cihang would not refuse. He took the Green Lotus of Eternal Merits into his body and smiled: "Looking back at the things we first met in heaven, when everyone was still young, I was in good times, and you But we are in the most dangerous adversity, and we need the protection of the Moon God to survive... Let’s not talk about the past, we are meeting at the top now, right?”

How could Zhang Ruochen not understand the good intentions of Venerable Cihang? He was obviously using past events to persuade him to be kind to the Moon God. He smiled and said, "Of course."

Venerable Cihang smiled: "Then let's say goodbye at the peak! I'm afraid I won't be able to come to congratulate you on your wedding. I picked this lotus seed in the Xiangxi Pond, and regard it as a congratulatory gift. Wait until it blooms. That day will definitely be when we meet again outside the universe. I hope the world will be truly peaceful by then!"

She left!

To preach outside the six realms of the universe is also to be a forerunner who resists ancestor participation.

In this game of chess, there are bound to be a lot of chess pieces, and they have to be spilled out first. Those who survive must take root and spread their branches, so that they can become a force that moves the entire galaxy ocean in the future.

Back in the hall, Zhang Ruochen's eyes fell on Wu Yue and Yue Shen, and he said in a low mood: "Venerable Cihang has left. She will be the forerunner of the Six Paths Universe and may never see each other again in the future. Before she left, she mentioned You said that if it weren’t for your protection, I wouldn’t be alive today.”

The moon goddess' red lips were crystal clear, and she said lightly: "What's the point of mentioning the past?"

"She also said that I should marry you, otherwise I will be despised by the world and said that I, Zhang Ruochen, am ungrateful." Zhang Ruochen said.

The moon goddess thought about this sentence seriously, as if she felt the pain in Zhang Ruochen's heart.

Wu Yue, who was standing beside him, frowned slightly, and always felt that Venerable Cihang was not a person who liked to take care of private affairs so deeply.

...

The current tentative release date of the new book is the 30th of the month. There are several more chapters in the extra chapters, which will be updated in the 20th.

I talked to many editors and authors about the beginning of the new book. Anyway, it should be different from what everyone imagined.

Let me tell you some of the elements I like, such as the unknown and dangerous, mysterious and desolate, grand and novel, chaotic times and human nature, delicate love and hatred, and a group of charming people fighting in the mental game, each pursuing their own goals... and so on.
