Chapter 249 The pattern is about to open up
Mei Qiulu nodded: "What Taiyi Sect says is always true."

"If the people from the Xuan Sect come to the Great Tribulation Mountain and you can't defeat them, won't my Xuan Pearl be gone?"

Mei Qiulu added: "The ones coming are cultivators at the Refining Spirit and Returning Void realms. If we really can't defeat them, it won't be difficult for Sect Master Kong to retrieve the Mysterious Pearl from my corpse after he releases his Yang Spirit."

Kong Xuan looked at Li Wuxiang: "What if he doesn't return it by then?"

Mei Qiulu glanced at Li Wuxiang, and Li Wuxiang said, "The cultivators who came are at the Refining Spirit and Returning Void realms. If we really can't defeat them, it won't be difficult for Sect Master Kong to retrieve the Mysterious Pearl from my body once he has released his Yang Spirit."

Mei Qiulu's mouth twitched, and she glared at him again: "Speak properly."

Li Wuxiang sighed, "Then I will swear to Emperor Taiyi. If I die, you can take it. As long as I am alive, I will definitely pay it back after twenty days."

Kong Xuan then snorted, "If it weren't for Master Mei's last few words, you wouldn't have thought about it. Okay, I'll lend it to you. But not today, tomorrow -"

She glanced at Kong Jingci who was kneeling on the ground and said, "I'll ask my disciple to deliver it to you. Once he's there, he'll stay there so I can teach you how to use it!"

Mei Qiulu bowed to Kong Xuan and said, "Master Kong is very righteous. Taiyi Church will remember your kindness today."

Kong Xuan snorted again: "It would be best if you can remember it, and it would be even better if you can walk fast."

Mei Qiulu smiled and turned around: "Xiao Suo, let's go."

When the swordsmen went downstairs, Qu Hong turned around and sighed: "Ah, Senior Sister Kong, these swordsmen are really——"

"Get out." Kong Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "You guys get out too."

Qu Hong's face turned pale, then red. Without saying anything else, he bowed and left with the other five people.

Kong Jingci was the only one left in the room, kneeling on the ground. Kong Xuan was silent for a moment, then smiled: "When you come, when you want to do something, you do it when you want to, and come when you want to, but when you want to leave, you want me to drive you away - what, you can't move either?"

So Kong Jingci slowly stood up and wanted to say something, but he just knelt down, kowtowed, and left.

Kong Xuan stood there for a while, and suddenly let out a long breath.

Then a voice was heard saying, "Master, do you now understand that what we say makes sense?"

A green shadow appeared beside her now - he was thin and was none other than Tang Peiyong, the chief weapon master of the Tiangong School.

His Yin spirit walked to the side of the building like a living person and looked down at the swordsmen who were leaving. He immediately retracted his head and turned to look at Kong Xuan: "I have told you before what our leader meant - once the Great Tribulation Alliance Meeting begins, the people of the Sword Sect will definitely come. But at that time, Sect Master Kong thought that the people of the Juque Sect could still save their face. Now, let alone our face, even the Juque Sect has lost it."

Kong Xuan snorted, but this snort was different from the previous ones—less obvious anger: “No one will feel comfortable if they do things this way.”

Tang Peiyong's Yin spirit smiled slightly: "No one? I see that there are only three families who are unlucky now - Juque, Suhua, and Tiangong. The leader of Juque is gone, and they killed a disciple of my Tiangong. What about your Suhua sect? The leader's beloved disciple was capable before, but so what? The people of Jianzong also want your sect treasure. If you ask me, these swordsmen don't have to have your pearl, but if they don't want the pearl, they will want something else - because in their view, our two sects are vassals of Juque. Since they want to defeat Juque, they will not let us go. Sect Master Kong, you are now clearly -"

"I'm angry now, please stop talking nonsense." Kong Xuan walked to the side and sat on a chair, saying calmly, "What conspiracy do you Tiangong Sect have? I can listen to it now."

"The Sect Master has misunderstood. What we are going to do is not a conspiracy, but it should be said that it is similar to what their Sword Sect did before - it is all for the destiny of humanity and to fight against the Xuan Sect."

"The Sect Master told me to make this matter clear first. He said that Sect Master Kong is a man of temperament and only talks about benefits. The Sect Master might have some grudges in his heart." Tang Peiyong's Yin Shen walked in front of her and stood down. The expression on the slightly illusory shadow's face became serious. "The Sect Master said that Jiang Jie of the Sword Sect is short-sighted and can't see that the Sword Sect is about to end. What about Mou Zhenyuan of the Juque Sect? His strategy is not much better, even worse than Jiang Jie."

"But the fate of the Sword Sect and the fate of the thirty-six sects are about to end. This is not entirely because these two people are incompetent, but no matter who takes over, the same defeat will occur - because Donghuang Taiyi was suppressed by the Emperor of Xuanjiao, and the fate of humanity was suppressed. Under the fate of heaven, how can people go against heaven?"

"For three thousand years, the Sword Sect has been trying to rescue Taiyi on their own. But this is like a person trying to pull himself up by his own head. It is useless. If you want to turn the tide, you must first destroy it and then build it up."

Kong Xuan smiled, but there was no irony in his smile: "Oh? Tang Xi thinks he has this ability?"

Tang Peiyong nodded: "Yes. And only our Tiangong Sect has it. Our sect leader often lamented to me about the great achievements of Emperor Taiyi - before Emperor Taiyi was born, people in this world were still ignorant and chaotic. It was because of Emperor Taiyi that we had the Taoism and the current civilization."

"But the sect leader also said that whether many things can be accomplished depends on destiny. But before destiny appears, you are destiny. When Emperor Taiyi was still a human, all kinds of destiny in the world were still in the making. The reason why the emperor achieved great things was because of the mutual achievement of destiny, not the achievement of one person changing the world - even if there was no Taiyi, there would be others who would become the emperor with human destiny."

"The current situation in the world is that fate has already been established and everyone has their own destiny. No matter how hard a person struggles, he cannot change the overall situation. Therefore, there must be a great destruction, so that this world can be turned into what it was before the Great Emperor became enlightened. Only then will we have a chance to be like the Great Emperor before—"

Kong Xuan stood up and raised his hand, signaling Tang Peiyong to shut up. Then he thought for a while and said, "If these words were really said by Tang Xi, he is crazy. I think everyone in your Tiangong Sect is crazy too - you are telling me these crazy words?"

Tang Peiyong only smiled slightly: "Master, which one do you think is crazy? Is it about imitating Taiyi and becoming a Golden Immortal Emperor again?"

"Each school has fragments of the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture. This is the method of cultivating the Great Golden Immortal Path. You know which one I'm talking about."

"Oh, then what you are talking about is returning to the state of the Great Emperor before he became a Taoist. The Sword Sect can't do anything about this, and neither can the Juque Sect. But I said that only our Tiangong Sect can do it."

"Master, you have never been to the mountain gate of our sect, but you should know that our Tiangong sect's dojo is called Jiehuo Mountain. We use the earth's core fire to smelt and forge magic tools in our Tiangong sect - Master, aren't you curious about how this name came about?" "There are fire springs underground. Many people in the world know this. What's there to be curious about?"

"Haha, many people in the world know this, but they are too lazy to delve into it. But our Tiangong sect has been using the Earth's Core Fire to refine magical instruments for more than three thousand years, and we know more about the nature of fire than any other sect. Many ancestors in my sect also want to find out where the Earth's Core Fire we use comes from, so they sent out Yang Shen and continued to explore underground. Do you know what they found, Sect Master?"

Kong Xuan said nothing, just looked at him.

Tang Peiyong had no choice but to say, "There is a sea of ​​fire underground. The fire spring is just like an ordinary mountain stream, a small wisp that comes out to the ground, but underground is a sea of ​​fire, endless and bottomless - can you imagine it, Sect Master? We are living on a sea of ​​fire, and the mountains and the earth are all floating on a sea of ​​fire!"

Kong Xuan was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly: "In the past three thousand years, there have been many Yang Gods in the world. Is it only your Tiangong Sect's founder who has explored it?"

"First, ordinary people would not think of this. Second, even if some expert has nothing to do and wants to use his Yang Spirit to look down, he will find that the earth is unfathomable and bottomless. The sea of ​​fire below us is at least buried tens of thousands of miles underground - the underground is so deep that it cannot be seen. Don't ordinary people think that the underworld is hidden down there? Naturally, they will not go down all the way. What if they encounter the Mother of the Underworld?"

"Only in a place like our Jiehuo Mountain Dojo, where the fire springs out, the sea of ​​fire is closer. It took a particularly courageous ancestor to discover the underground sea of ​​fire."

Kong Xuan was silent for a moment: "Then this is just what your Tiangong Sect said."

Tang Peiyong raised his hand and pointed to the ground: "There is also a fire spring under this Great Tribulation Mountain. Sect Master, you can send out your Yang Spirit to give it a try."

Kong Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled. Then he looked at Tang Peiyong: "Are you serious?"

Tang Peiyong said solemnly: "Master, please give it a try."

So Kong Xuan closed her eyes. After five or six breaths, she suddenly opened them.

"How about it?"

Kong Xuan said nothing, just stared at Tang Peiyong blankly.

Tang Peiyong laughed, "This is how the world works. Our leader says a lot of things, but ordinary people turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear to them. It's because everyone has their own destiny, so everyone thinks that it's fine. Just like the destiny of humanity and the emperors - they all think about how to save Taiyi, but no one has ever thought about making a big change."

Kong Xuan exhaled slowly: "So, your great destruction means..."

"The fire spring may burst out. The reason why only a thin wisp emerges is because it is blocked. Above the sea of ​​fire is the earth, and earth controls fire, so even if the fire is a little stronger, it will be restrained by the thick earth. But we in the Tiangong School know that in the past, there must have been a time when the sea of ​​fire burst out - the earth today may have become what it is today after the sea of ​​fire burst out."

"So we plan to start from this Great Tribulation Mountain."

"We in the Tiangong Sect have been planning this for nearly five hundred years. From our base on the Great Tribulation Mountain down below, this mountain is now filled with the management and arrangements of our three generations of sect masters over the past five hundred years. I don't know what kind of power it will have."

“And the fire spring under the Great Tribulation Mountain is hundreds of times more violent and turbulent than the Tribulation Mountain in our Taoist temple. Once we draw it out, no matter what kind of Nascent Soul, Yang God, Refining, or Returning to Void, at least the physical body will not be able to survive!”

Kong Xuan slowly sat back in his chair and was silent for a moment: "If you... can accomplish this... Did you come to see me before to talk about this?"

"Yes."

"Why do you want to involve our Suhua faction?"

Tang Peiyong whispered, "Because this is a great destruction, and there will be a great establishment afterwards. Our sect leader had already thought about how the world situation would be, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. The sect leader told me decades ago that the swordsman would inevitably perish. After the sword sect dies, the Xuanjiao will have to deal with the thirty-six sects. At that time, Mou Zhenyuan will definitely want to unify the thirty-six sects and gather them together at Dajie Mountain."

"Now that we are here, the people of Xuanjiao will surely arrive as well. By then, we will make Xuanjiao feel that we are a greater threat than Jianzong and have them send out their elite troops so that the Great Tribulation Mountain Earth Fire can destroy them in one fell swoop. When this earth fire comes out and spreads everywhere, it will not only affect the Great Tribulation Mountain, but also the diocese of Xuanjiao, or in other words, the entire Central Continent. At that time, it will be a sea of ​​fire."

"So the future Dali will still need the Suhua Sect. The Sect Master said that after the catastrophe, it is time to seize the luck. The Xuan Sect has suffered a great loss of vitality, and they will feel that we are no longer something they need to worry about. So this is our chance - Sect Master, do you know our Yi Jin Jing?"

"I... have heard a little bit about it."

"This is what the sect master has prepared for the future establishment. By that time, the Xuan Sect will no longer be able to take care of external affairs. The Yi Jin Jing will come in handy and can transform practitioners. And your Su Hua Sect's methods can make up for the hidden defects of the Yi Jin Jing. Our two sects will complement each other, and in a hundred years, we will be able to compete with the Xuan Sect for the world."

"You guys...are really crazy, really crazy." Kong Xuan muttered to himself a few times, then turned to look at him, "If I tell this to others, Tang Xi won't have to dream of conquering the world anymore."

Tang Peiyong smiled and said, "So, before the Great Tribulation Alliance, I went to see you, Sect Master, and only briefly talked about it, but you drove me out."

"Now you have the guts?"

"Because now the Xuan Cult has left the diocese, and the Jian Cult has already climbed the Great Tribulation Mountain - if we can repel these 500 invading people, when the Taiyi True Spirit is invited down, the Xuan Cult will surely send a large force, and then it will be a good time. Moreover, Sect Master Kong has been insulted so much tonight, does he still think that our Sect Master Tang is crazy?"

Kong Xuan fell silent for a long while before he said, "If the world is really a sea of ​​fire...how can you and I survive?"

"Yes, if that's the case, I would really dare to say that Sect Master Tang is crazy. But Sect Master, do you still remember the real dragon who appeared out of nowhere during the Golden Immortal War more than 3,000 years ago and called himself the Ninth Young Master? Sect Master should also know that when we say he 'appeared out of nowhere', I'm not making a metaphor. Instead, he came here on a magic weapon, riding a white rainbow. His magic weapon is called the Star Raft." Tang Peiyong smiled faintly, "We found that thing. When the world becomes a sea of ​​fire, this magic weapon can save many people!"
