rescuing Tao Tianzhong doesn't count as karma, after all, he went out voluntarily and not kidnapped by the Chaos Demon God. Maybe even the Lord Old Devil hopes the three sages never return.
You saved him, and now you're asking for karma? Dream on!
Rescuing the Lord of Celestial Profound does not grant merit, but bringing back a carcass of a Chaos Demon God is meritorious.
"Master, I accept my guilt this time." The Supreme Old Lord smiled and waved his sleeve, taking away fivefold merits, half of which fell on the Taijidu diagram.
Deng Chanyu bit her lips, remained silent, and also took away four-fifths of the merits.
Since the Lord of Celestial Profound is not in the Primordial World, the remaining one-fifth merit was recollected by the Way of Heaven. This needs to be given back when the Lord of Celestial Profound returns.
The Supreme Old Lord took away half of the demon god's flesh and over three-thirds of the demon god's essence.
Restraining not only can be used against enemies, but also on oneself. When struggling to breakthrough a certain bottleneck, practicing a method of restraining one's own realm, there is a possibility that when pressed to the limit, it will produce a brand-new metamorphosis.
The Supreme Old Lord is preparing to have Master Xuandu, the Grand Sorcerer, suppress his cultivation. After defeating the two shadows, Master Xuandu's potential is not much left. In the future, he can try to challenge the three shadows' beheading, though the success rate is minuscule. Now by suppressing his cultivation, there might still be a chance for a fight.
Deng Chanyu also took away half of the demon god's flesh and nearly three-thirds of the demon god's essence.
Her thoughts are similar to that of the Supreme Old Lord. She doesn't need suppression herself. Her path is clear with Henglong Zi Qi and a vast amount of merits. If it comes down to it, she can make another grand vow, accumulate merits to become a saint.
She wants to move things along as quickly as possible while ensuring a solid foundation. Suppression? Please, that's absurd.
She doesn't need such a method, but those around her do. For example, Dazhi and Na Zhai are in great need of it. Dazi certified his title as a celestial being through the help of Xiao Wu. It was a difficult journey, but with Xiao Wu's help, he managed to attain the title of a celestial being. He was originally an hopeless case, but once this path of suppressing demons enters the Primordial World, it will give them another chance for hope.
Neo and Na Zhai have a good foundation and high potential, with Deng Chanyu dedicating her utmost effort in teaching them. Reaching the level of Taiyi Jixian is completely feasible. However, achieving Da Luo Jixian might be a different story. Without that cursed Lotus Embryo holding him back, she estimates that Neo has a 20% chance of attaining Da Luo. This chance is already quite high. With the addition of suppression methods, by accumulating more time during the Taiyi stage, Neo's chances of attaining Da Luo will increase by an additional 10%.
The suppression method can also be applied to Nanning Lihuofang. This Fengzu race's art has reached the limit of fire type arts. To make further progress, one must break free from the original constraints and re-seek the true meaning of fire again.
They didn't want that hard shell of the demon god, which looks like a hermit crab, all torn and tattered. What good is this thing? Can it be used to make soup?
This hard shell and the remaining demon god's essence will be given to Jiejiao, just in time to demonstrate the awe-inspiring power of Tao Tianzhong. Look, even such a sturdy defense can be shattered by the Lord. Is there anything the Lord cannot conquer in this world?
Jiejiao was quite happy with this, they placed the remaining hard shell of the demon god on the Penglai Immortal Island.
Penglai Immortal Island is nominally a place for scattered immortals to practice, but in reality, with Tao Tianzhong leaving Kunlun Mountain and establishing his sect at the Jintao Island in the East Sea, Penglai Immortal Island has been incorporated into the territory of the Jiejiao sect.
Even though currently only one-tenth of the disciples remain in the Jiejiao sect, the scattered immortals dare not provoke them, and in fact, they must be even more respectful than before. After all, the dead ones are only the lower-level disciples, while the topmost several disciples who are proficient in divination and can inherit their true essence are all still alive.
Emei Mountain.
"What?! You're saying Xiao Wu will become our sister? I must be hearing wrong!" Bail Xiao directly jumped up from her seat upon hearing this terrifying news.
If it were any other day, Yun Xiao would definitely scold her for a while, saying she's not steady enough or not dignified enough. But today, Yun Xiao was also shocked.
She looked at Deng Chanyu curiously, what's going on? Your daughter has become my junior, does that mean I have to call you an elder sister? You didn't even notify me in advance? This caught me completely off guard!
Deng Chanyu smiled, she now fully understands the feelings of Nuwa. It's nice to be at the top, but it's also very cold. Standing at the peak is indeed enviable, but a lot of things are lost, such as happiness seeing Yun Xiao, who is usually so calm and composed, showing such a cute expression of shock. It's also a pleasure.
She laughed cheerfully: "I haven't notified you in advance? I plan to take Little Five and formally go to the Bluecurr Ant Island Green Voyage Palace next May 5th, to worship the Saint's Dao Position and receive the ingestion script for joining the sect."
Although Tao Tianzhong has asked Yun Xiao to act as his teacher in passing down the teachings, the rituals must be strictly adhered to according to the Jiejiao sect's customs. The Jiejiao sect is a true great sect that has established itself in the Primordial World, not like Nuwa and Deng Chanyu's family-style tutoring mode.
By the time that day comes, the Jiejiao sect will have strict regulations on what Little Wu should wear in her robes and what formalities she should follow upon entering the door.
By giving an early heads-up, the Jiejiao sect can also make some preparations.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao exchanged looks, as if to ask, Are you serious? The tone is so solemn; is this not a joke?
Deng Chanyu explained the benefits of Yun Xiao teaching her daughter: "You have taught Little Wu a few hands of divine arts before. Now that she is acting as your teacher, it's a fate between the two of you. In the future, let Little Wu cherish and respect you like her own mother."
"Show me!" Yun Xiao waved her hand, speaking with a displeased tone.
Deng Chanyu handed the jade token from Tao Tianzhong to Yun Xiao. There's no need to recognize it much; the Shangqing divine arts can't be forged, and Tao Tianzhong's magical power imprint certainly can't be forged either. This is the will of the saint.
Yun Xiao lightly touched her forehead with her fingers.
The first thing she thought of was Guilingshi Maliu. If she hears this news, will Guilingshi Maliu explode right where she stands?
The second thought was of Tao Tianzhong. This is too arbitrary and wanton. Can't you consider it a bit more?
Deng Chanyu was still explaining: "This time, the cause and effect between me and the Saint from the Upper Clarity is relatively large. As you know, my identity is also yours. He owes me this cause and effect, even a saint has to pay a huge price to fulfill it. If he takes Little Five as his disciple, it will be considered settled. Even though he will pay less, by adding Little Five under your tutelage, it is effectively entrusting you with the task of teaching him without having to pay anything."
Yun Xiao shook her head continuously, I bet my master hasn't thought that way at all. You must have overthought it.
The adults are discussing important matters.
The children are discussing trivial matters.
"Ah----!" Little Wu screamed as the water kettle-like roaring sound echoed in the gully, while Yuan Xiao covered her ears.
"My parents don't love me anymore! I'm so pitiful!" Little Wu heard part of the conversation between Deng Chanyu and Daji last night. In her interpretation, it seemed she was going to be sent away, and now she felt extremely heartbroken.
Yuan Xiao was perplexed. Although she heard Little Wu's tragic words, she didn't know how to comfort her. She could only stay by her side silently.
