Chapter 93: Destiny Depends on People’s Hearts
Then a deep red gas appeared in the sky, went up to the sky, dispersed in all directions, and turned into a thick red cloud like rosy clouds and fire. The bright red light descended, as fierce as a fire, and the overwhelming heat wave rolled in, covering the surrounding area for a thousand miles, exploding with flying golden stars, burning everything.
Afterwards, there are majestic mountains and steep hills rising and falling one after another. The mountains are vast and magnificent, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. There are also rising clouds and narrow paths, just like real mountains.
It is a pity that among the five elements, only the wood element is missing, so it will never be perfect. But this one move alone is enough to shock the three immortals.
Seeing that Guangchengzi actually started to set up a formation, it was obvious that he wanted to challenge them to a protracted war, and Duobao felt his scalp tingling.
He had no choice but to say in a deep voice: "Guangchengzi, this is the place where the Three Pure Ones preach. If you dare to act recklessly and destroy it, it will only make Master Yuanshi lose face. Quickly put away the formation. Could it be that you have gone astray, fallen into the devil's way, and started to go crazy?"
Seeing Duobao throwing dirty water, flattering him, and playing with his leftovers, Guangchengzi laughed and said, "Brother Duobao, I think you are really crazy. You dare to say that I have gone astray and fallen into the devil's way. I must teach you a lesson so that you will know the pain."
There was a flash of anger in Duobao's eyes. He had been practicing the principle of supremacy over the years and it had been quite effective. Almost 40% of the Shangqing disciples obeyed his orders.
And half of them are his confidants. It can be said that in the entire Shangqing lineage, except for Tongtian, he is the only one who rules the world. The other three disciples cannot compete with him at all.
As the saying goes, one should maintain the dignity of the position he holds. Duobao has been praised for so many years that he will naturally not bow down, while Guangchengzi is a person of unique arrogance in the world.
The two men had a disagreement and immediately wanted to fight.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two senior brothers was not right, Wu Dang Shengmu immediately tried to smooth things over. She said, "Two senior brothers, please stop being angry. We are all disciples of the Kunlun lineage. Naturally, we should live in peace and fight the enemy together. How can we hate each other here? Wouldn't this make our loved ones sad and our enemies happy?"
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit also advised: "Senior Sister Wu Dang is right. If the Yuqing lineage and the Shangqing lineage are separated, both will suffer. If they are united, both will benefit. Don't let outsiders laugh at you."
With the persuasion of these two female disciples, the tension between Guangchengzi and Duobao was barely eased a little, but in fact, it was both you look down on me and I am too lazy to look at you, and we couldn't say a few words to each other.
After a long silence, Duobao frowned and said, "Guangchengzi, what are you doing here to preach?"
Guang Chengzi was surprised after hearing this and said, "Why can't I come here to preach? Master Uncle has rarely preached in recent years. It's always Master and Third Uncle who come here. You can come here, so why can't I come?"
Duobao did not believe Guangchengzi's words, and pointed at Luo Xuan and Yuyixian in the distance and said, "If you are just here to preach, why do you need Yanzhongxian and Yuyixian to cheer for you?
Moreover, I haven’t seen these two people for nearly ten thousand years. They didn’t even come when Master gave a sermon. I originally thought that they were traveling outside, but now they appear here and are working for you.
You just came out of retreat in Bajing Palace, how come these two people appeared again? Isn't there any connection at all?"
Facing Duobao's aggressiveness, Guangchengzi raised his eyebrows slightly without changing his expression and said calmly: "Are you talking about these two people? They offended me not long ago, so I captured them and gave them a good lesson.
After all, I am also the senior brother of Yuqing and the eldest disciple of Yuanshi. It seems okay for me to teach one or two immature Shangqing disciples a lesson, right?"
Faced with Guangchengzi's use of power to bully others, Duobao wanted to say something but was helpless. After all, if some words were spoken out, they might become a mockery of the Supreme Lord and easily lead to retribution.
Moreover, Duobao dared to guarantee that if he really told the truth, Guangchengzi would not sit idly by, but would definitely add insult to injury and add fuel to the fire, wishing that the world would be on fire and there would be unrest.
Yuanshi Tianzun trusted Guangchengzi so much that he must have been provoked and furious. He would not stop until he had been severely punished.
Duobao simply changed the subject and said in a deep voice: "I don't care whether you go to the preaching place or not, but I want to take these two people away, and you can't stop me."
He was referring to the Flame Immortal Luo Xuan and the Winged Immortal. After all, these two were disciples of the Shangqing lineage. It would be shameful for him if they suffered at the hands of Guangchengzi.
Guangchengzi did not comment, obviously agreeing. After all, these two were just extras. It didn't matter if they were there or not. He could just do it as he pleased.
Finally, under the gaze of the three people, Guangchengzi put away the four flags, rode on Liangyi, and slowly went towards the place where the sermon was to be given. No one dared to stop him.
Seeing Guangchengzi's departing back, Duobao's frustrated expression instantly changed color, and it was obvious that he was thinking about something.
Holy Mother Wu Dang and Holy Mother Jin Ling looked at each other, but they didn't know what the eldest brother was thinking.
After a moment, Duobao sighed, "What a good trick, what a good trick. I didn't expect him to step on my head and get promoted. The reputation I have accumulated over the years has ended up being used to make wedding clothes for others. I am so angry that my liver hurts."
The Golden Spirit Mother asked cautiously, "Big Brother, what are you talking about?"
Duobao took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, closing his eyes and saying, "Do you think it takes a lot of effort for Guangchengzi to beat the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother? This is just a fishing technique, forcing us to take action.
After knowing that we had arrived, he immediately used his killing move to force us to show up again. Then he used the four flags to make us afraid to act rashly and watch him leave calmly.
And do you think there are only a few of us here? I'm afraid that the entire preaching ground and even the Shangqing lineage will know about this. The reputation we have built over the years will be completely lost. It's really hateful! It's infuriating! It's annoying!" At the end of his speech, Duobao suddenly opened his eyes, and countless precious lights shot out from his eyes, turning into a rain of spiritual light, crackling and falling, destroying countless mountains in front of him. Obviously, he was not so calm in his heart.
The two girls also knew the importance of this matter. The Holy Mother Wu Dang sighed, "This is a troubled time."
The establishment of the preaching place is to gather the destiny of the ancient times.
Although there is a lot of great fortune from the ancient times that has gathered together, the destiny is also very particular.
Although the distribution of these fortunes is done as fairly as possible, the problem is that it is fair to the Three Pure Ones, but not to them.
It's like the same fruit is divided into three sides, one side is eaten by one person, one side is eaten by two people, and the last side is eaten by hundreds or thousands of people. The number of people is different.
If the food is divided fairly, the first two will naturally be able to eat their fill, but the last one will really cause countless people to starve to death.
This fruit is luck. The Three Pure Ones want to divide it fairly, but many disciples of the Shangqing lineage cannot do so, or are unwilling to do so.
Luck is very mysterious and elusive. No one can tell how luck flows. We only know that the stronger the person, the stronger the luck. At the same time, if the relationship between the two is close, the luck will also communicate with each other.
The master and his disciple were among them.
As long as a master accepts a disciple, the luck between the master and the disciple can be shared with each other. However, in general, it is the disciple who shares the fortune with the master, and few masters can enjoy the luck of their disciples.
Of course, if the number of disciples is large enough, then even if the quality is not good, the luck in quantity can still be returned to the master, which is the case with the demon clan.
It’s a pity that although there are many disciples in the Shangqing lineage, they cannot reach this standard, so most of the Shangqing disciples share the Tongtian luck.
But Tongtian only has so much luck, and most of it is suppressed by his own strength and magical treasures. It is even more impossible for Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun to share their luck with them.
Therefore, only a few of these disciples can share the profits, but it is better than nothing.
It is for this reason that many aspiring people of the Shangqing lineage have set their sights on the land of preaching. After all, this land of preaching gathers countless cultivators, and its luck is endless, which can almost change countless futures.
Although a large amount of the luck here belongs to himself, just that small part is enormous for the God of Hunyuan, let alone these younger disciples?
Therefore, the reason why the disciples of the Shangqing lineage maintain order in the preaching place day and night and even call their friends over is not only because they want to enjoy life, but also because they want to gain more luck for their master, so that they can enjoy more.
Coupled with the inaction of the Three Pure Ones, the place where the sermons were given almost became the private domain of the Shangqing lineage.
The four direct disciples naturally understood, but they were also happy to see it happen. Perhaps it could be said that they were quietly helping with this matter from behind.
This is also beneficial to them. Since they are the vested interests, they will certainly not pretend to be noble and refuse. But now Guangchengzi wants to enter the place where he preaches, and he even has the reputation of defeating the Turtle Spirit Mother and sending away other disciples with a single word. This will definitely cause people to be uneasy.
And some cultivators who are dissatisfied with the Shangqing lineage will definitely move closer to Guangchengzi, and their luck will twist according to the master's will, eventually causing unstable luck.
The many disciples of the Shangqing lineage have enjoyed good fortune for so long, and they will definitely not let it go, so the conflicts between them have already been established.
Duobao and the other two had no doubt that Guangchengzi's trip to the place where he preached was just for inspection.
If he was really just inspecting, he could have used his magical powers. Why would he go there so slowly and even provoke the three of them to take action? He must have other tricks up his sleeve, so the Holy Mother Wu Dang said that this was a troubled time.
The direction of people's hearts is the direction of destiny, so the Three Pure Ones established a place to preach, the disciples of the Shangqing lineage spread the Shangqing immortal law, and Guangchengzi defeated his four direct disciples.
All of this is just to win people's hearts.
As expected, many cultivators who used their magical powers and treasures to watch the battle informed the immortals of the result, which immediately caused a storm. They had not expected that the eldest disciple of Yuanshi would have such divine power that he could defeat the four direct disciples.
This naturally aroused the thoughts of some people, wondering whether they should get closer to Guangchengzi.
Naturally, people's hearts began to flutter.
