Jiaqi would not be there, and the sole means of guidance would be insufficient. Perhaps he might not reach the time point of becoming a sainted being before his early demise.
Before becoming saints, they had also gone through countless trials and tribulations, many of which were life-or-death struggles.
Now, are you expecting someone to bear those trials alone? That's a death sentence, isn't it?
Deng Chan Yu understands very well the state of these two before becoming sainted. Their high defense is indeed true, but aside from defense, Jie Ying lacks many strong points. If faced with a strong enemy, Jie Ying would not be able to defeat them alone and would not be able to escape. In the end, he would likely be killed by the enemy.
This is equivalent to losing two sages in the whole Huangtan in an instant. Is this a good thing?
Without Jie Ying and Zhen Ti, perhaps Hong Yun or Kunpeng would have become a sage. By then, the outcome of the Wuyao War might be rewritten, and whether the human race could withstand the fierce attacks of Di Jun and Taiyi and become the main players in heaven and earth would be a big question mark.
If the human race no longer exists, Deng Chan Yu would also no longer exist.
As a Daoist Sage, Zhen Ti's influence on the Hóng Wāng is far-reaching. Without him, the current situation of Hóng Wāng is bound to change dramatically.
Deng Chan Yu murmured softly while looking up at the sky: "Master's meaning is that I have to go a second time? Do you also think that?"
The voice of Bodhi became weaker and weaker: "So it is."
Deng Chan Yu waited for a full stick of incense time, and the Hóng Huāng was as calm as ever, without any disturbances. The beings of the three realms had no idea that the trace of a Taoist Sage was about to be erased from the roots of time.
When Zhen Ti truly disappears, no memory of him will be left behind among the beings. Just like in the Western World, where there has always only been one saint, Jie Ying.
If Zhen Ti were to disappear, the identity of Deng Chan Yu as his disciple would also vanish. She can feel that without this identity, even with the possession of the Hóng Hóng Zǐ Qì, her path to becoming a saint would be very rugged. The future path she could walk remains uncertain.
Just like the descendants of the Deng family in the Han Dynasty borrowed their momentum from her, she didn't have to do anything at all to bless the Deng family for five generations.
With the identity of a false disciple, she could borrow momentum from Hongjun and still face many obstacles on her path to sainthood. However, it seems that the path is not as "rough" as before.
Originally, there was no such intention, nor had she ever thought about it in that way. Now, Bodhi's words have completely stirred up Deng Chan Yu's thoughts.
She is very interested in doing this.
The first lesson at Zǐ Xiāo Palace was about the path of Supreme Immortal. At that time, Deng Chan Yu was already a quasi-saint, which was equivalent to a college student returning to high school. Although the teacher taught well and she listened carefully, the practical value was limited. It can be said that it was useful, but not much.
A move cannot be undone, and at this stage of quasi-sainthood, even if there are any thoughts or insights, it is impossible to go back to the period of Supreme Immortal to find opportunities for verification and enlightenment again.
The second lecture was different. The second lecture was about the path of quasi-saints, and it lasted for ten thousand years, which was just right for her current level.
If she returns to the past, she will become a bridge between Zhen Ti and Hongjun.
Zhen Ti was about to have his existence traces in time erased by Huí Hé. However, "Zhen Ti" was listening to the teachings in Zǐ Xiāo Palace, and the fact that Zhen Ti was present or not didn't matter. What was important was his identity as a listener of the teachings. With this connection, he could utilize Hongjun's power to prevent himself from disappearing completely.
Even if we step back a bit, even if he really disappeared, as long as Hongjun had a thought, Zhen Ti could become his named disciple. "Zhen Ti" would then reappear and recover.
"Kindly wait, I need to make some preparations here."
Seeing that Hongjun didn't hinder her, Deng Chan Yu made up her mind to be a pseudonymous disciple again! After all, it wasn't her first time, and the second time is better than the first.
Just that she enjoys impersonating others very much. Zhen Ti's cultivation will probably drop by quite a bit. You don't listen to high school classes, and you don't listen to university classes. Instead, you go straight to graduate school? What kind of genius student is this? Zhen Ti's grades can be good only if there is a miracle!
The cultivation level declining is better than completely disappearing. Both parties are aware of this.
Deng Chan Yu herself does not have the ability to traverse time. To go back to the past and attend the second lecture at the Zǐ Xiāo Palace, she must rely on the Kunlun Mirror.
The Kunlun Mirror is a slow doctor, and it needs time to make her intentions clear and explain them properly, as well as store enough abundant magic power, and calculate the time and place accurately.
Bodhi fell into silence. With his current level of power, the remaining magical energy is barely enough to sustain his existence form. Once this magical energy is exhausted, he will dissipate into thin air.
Three days later, Deng Chan Yu, with patience, communicated her destination to the Kunlun Mirror at the rate of one stick of incense for a sentence, enduring the "high latency," and finally made it clear. She also sent enough magic power to traverse time.
Now, Deng Chan Yu's magic power is far deeper than before, surpassing that of the burnished light. The Kunlun Mirror also recognizes her as its temporary master and is willing to cooperate with her. After determining the correct time, a transparent vortex leading to a specific time point gradually formed.
Deng Chan Yu left all her treasure artifacts that would conflict with that time point on Mount Emei, only taking the ruler and Kunlun Mirror with her. After double-checking to make sure there was no omission, she finally stepped forward into the vortex.
After Deng Chan Yu left, the phoenix and the Moonlight Buddha immediately entered a mode that could be called "power-saving." They always had autonomy, so if the body they were in left the main timeline, they would also log off.
It's just that they lack the bridge of the body, so the phoenix and the Moonlight Buddha will lose their high cultivation level and broad vision. Their choices are completely the same. They entrust matters to their subordinates and then retreat to cultivate.
Ancestral Dragon Hall.
At the same time as Deng Chan Yu left and the phoenix and the Moonlight Buddha retreated to meditate, the Ancestral Dragon sensed something amiss, realizing that his chance had come.
Before, Deng Chan Yu had been giving him the cold shoulder, constantly watching him. This made the old dragon feel that he couldn't exert any effort or dare to use it. As soon as he made a move, the next instant he would be identified as a confederate of Zhu Long and punished accordingly. The reason why he wasn't arrested using the "necessary but unproven" charge was that his foundation in this world was too shallow. The phoenix feared that her capture might trigger a feeling of sympathy among her subjects, and thus chose to keep a distant surveillance on Ancestral Dragon rather than making an outright arrest.
Now that Deng Chan Yu had just left, the Ancestral Dragon took immediate action, sending one of his spiritual essences into the human world.
The human race's fate has weakened significantly this time, which is his opportunity. If he can take control of the human race and use their fate to offset his karma, then he will not be far from completely liberating himself from the bonds that restrain him!
Meng Zhang Immortal used the blood relationship between father and son to transmit two fuzzy messages back and forth. They found a place to settle down in the chaos, as long as the Ancestral Dragon is liberated, they can meet with their son and then have both offensive and defensive capabilities. Only then will he be completely safe.
Months later, a herder welcomed his eldest son into his tent. At the same time, officials of the Han Dynasty were promoting new regulations and policies in the grazing area. Therefore, the herder named his son "Zheng."
