(The weather is getting warmer and warmer. Now you don’t even need to bring down jackets and hats. You know, I have long wanted to reduce these two burdens~~~~~~)

"Lingkong Immortal Realm!?" Yun Canghai asked in shock, "Do you want to lead people to attack the Lingkong Immortal Realm? How is this possible? I am sure you are serious?"
"Yes, I do mean that." I said calmly, as if he noticed the surprise in Yun Canghai's tone, and explained, "I have my own reasons for saying that." I raised a dragon claw. Pointing at the dragon ball suspended in mid-air, the dragon ball immediately spun around a few times and emitted a ray of light that shone in mid-air, revealing another image:
There are surging seas of clouds, suspended continents, floating islands and boundless seas. All kinds of rare and strange beasts, heavenly materials and earthly treasures exist everywhere like a fairyland; but among them there are countless people who control flying swords and magic weapons and perform powerful magic. Immortals are at war with various void creatures and hellish demons in the sky, on the earth, and even in the oceans. Among them are powerful demons that have appeared in demonic disasters, as well as many strange and powerful demons that have never appeared before, as well as groups of fallen angels. They are not physically strong and capable of turning mountains and seas with every move, but they have powerful magic powers. A single spell can cause thousands of miles of red land and hundreds of miles of desolation.
You can vaguely see some huge figures as powerful as demon gods appearing in the sky and fighting those immortals, causing demonic fire to fall from the sky and the continent to collapse. If you look closely, the overall strength of the demon army can actually be equal to or even slightly better than the immortals in the fairyland. If you compare the demonic disasters in the human world with those there, they are trivial and not worth mentioning.
Yun Canghai also saw these images through the Void Formation Technique and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is the Spiritual Sky Immortal Realm! Can you actually achieve this step by transforming into two realms through the void?" The Spiritual Sky Immortal Realm The Zhongqian World, whose average spiritual energy concentration is one level higher than that of the human world, is considered a small fairy world. Before I ascend, I can actually see the distance between the two worlds as if there is nothing and use magic to project the scene. This method is definitely not like the flow of immortals. It would not be an exaggeration to call it the magical power of the Golden Immortal.
"It's not as powerful as you think. After all, I haven't become a Golden Immortal yet and can't manifest the appearance of other worlds out of thin air. This was just when the magic array broke the void and broke the space barrier of the spiritual sky and fairy world, leading to the invasion of the demon world. I took advantage of the chaos. I put a ray of Yuan Shen's clone into it and now it has occupied the body of an immortal and inherited everything from him. Only then can the connection between the Lord's Yuanshen manifest into the scene of the spiritual world." I said calmly. Then another point was made to point out that the figure of an immortal suddenly appeared in the image of the spiritual world in mid-air.
I saw this immortal wearing a blue shirt with a blue Ruyi hanging above his head, lying in a group of light blue auspicious clouds. His face was handsome and kind, his eyes were gentle, and he had a lazy and easy-going attitude. Originally, he was still floating leisurely in the air, but suddenly through the connection between the souls, he sensed that the original deity and Yun Canghai's clone were calling him, so he immediately turned his head to look at the direction of the image, showing joy, raised his body, and bowed: "Two Taoist brothers and poor Taoist Luo Tianshui are polite."
The three souls have the same origin, so there is no need to introduce themselves. Through the connection between the souls, they quickly learn each other's identity information.
Luo Tianshui was originally a native of the Lingkong Immortal Realm, a human with natural water veins. He was extremely talented in the way of water and had a good heart. Therefore, he had only practiced for a thousand years and had survived three small heavenly tribulations and became a master in the late stage of returning to the void. It's just that he was usually obsessed with practicing and accumulating good deeds, and the blessings were not enough, and he lacked some luck, so he was not enough and suffered a disaster - when he was going through the tribulation of heaven and immortals, he happened to be invading the demon world and was discovered by a wave of invading demon army. Although after a fierce battle, The demon was eliminated, but a lot of mana was consumed, resulting in the failure of the tribulation. His soul was scattered, but his body was protected by the precious light from the "Kanli Jade Ruyi", an immortal weapon he obtained in an ancient immortal cave in the past, and then he was secretly thrown into it. The clone of the soul in the spiritual world got a good physical body without any effort. After some grooming and conditioning, he was successfully resurrected, integrating his soul with his physical body and completely occupying this body.
Because Luo Tianshui's soul was wiped out during the Heavenly Tribulation, most of his past cause and effect and karma were eliminated, and his body was refined by the Tribulation Thunder, and his body was replaced with a new soul. If he were reincarnated and changed his identity, not only would he save the reincarnation of Yunlong's clone, This step also saves the time of practicing all over again after reincarnation and gives you an identity that can move around in the spiritual world, which is a big advantage.
As the saying goes, good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded with evil deeds. The time has not yet come for non-retribution. Yunlong has done so much good deeds in the human world and accumulated merits that are naturally deep. Therefore, it is not the reason why good deeds are rewarded with good deeds.
(Perhaps some friends are a little confused after seeing this and want to ask why such a thing happens. The previous chapter clearly stated that every world has its own way of heaven. The merits done by it are all attributed to the way of heaven in this world. Why is it here? Here, Yunlong has accumulated merits in the human world, can he still get benefits in another dimension in the spiritual world?
In fact, I have my own opinion here like a dragon. According to my understanding, from a macro perspective, the entire universe can be regarded as a huge whole. Although the various worlds and planes within are separated from each other, they still have secrets and inexplicable Especially those worlds with similar inheritance and the same race are vaguely connected by fate and have a certain level of affiliation.
If the entire universe is compared to an industry, then the big worlds of cultivation such as the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Lingkong Immortal Realm can be regarded as the head office of the cultivation lineage, while the human world can be regarded as branches or spun-off subsidiaries, although each has its own Although the operating methods still hold the same shares (luck), even the company's rules and regulations (Tiandao) are inseparable from the same origin and are inseparably linked. And Yunlong is just like the outstanding employees of this branch in the human world who have made contributions (merit) to the company and have a certain positive reputation and good evaluation in the entire industry (the merits and blessings gained by accumulating merit). Such employees can even change jobs. (Ascension or entering other worlds) will also be looked upon highly by other companies and given better treatment. If you change jobs to the head office (Lingkong Fairyland), you will be taken care of and given good treatment because of your outstanding performance in the subsidiary company.
Not only merit, but also sin karma. If your performance in the original company (world) is not good or you even do something that violates industry rules, you will be notorious in the entire industry. Naturally, you will not be welcomed by other companies and you will not find a good job. work.
This is also the reason why the merits or sins accumulated in the human world will be affected even in other worlds. Because everyone is in the multiverse environment, unless you can transcend the universe and become a saint-like existence without being affected by cause and effect, otherwise you will be restricted by the laws of heaven. I don’t know if everyone can accept Rulong’s explanation. Haha, let’s continue with the story. )
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Luo Tianshui was originally very talented and was quite famous in the Lingkong Immortal World. He was known as "Tianshui Zhenren". After Yunlong was distracted and seized his body to reshape his true body and cultivated his magic power to the same level as the Yuanshen, his supernatural powers improved greatly. He was more than ten times stronger than before, and in the eyes of outsiders, he looked like a strong man who had survived the catastrophe and became a generation of immortals.
As mentioned before, although the Lingkong Immortal World is known as the "Little Immortal World", it is actually a middle-aged world attached to the human world. It is essentially the same level as the human world, but it has stolen most of the human aura, so the average concentration of aura is one level higher than that of the human world. It is easier for those who practice. However, as the saying goes, "Wealth breeds lazy people, and adversity brings out talents." Although the environment in the Lingkong Immortal Realm is better than that of the human world, it is still far from the true fairy realm of the Earth Immortal Realm. Therefore, although the average level of cultivators is one level higher than that of the human world, it is not. It has not yet reached the point where "grandmasters are everywhere and there are as many gods as dogs". In the spiritual world, the immortals are roughly equivalent to the status of the master of returning to the void in the human world. Although it is not the ultimate, it can be regarded as noble.
Since Luo Tianshui "survived the catastrophe" and became an immortal, his reputation has naturally spread more widely. In addition, in order to quickly integrate into the spiritual world and participate in it, Luo Tianshui also intentionally or unintentionally revealed his tricks to show that he is better than ordinary immortals. With his cultivation, he naturally becomes a rising star with unlimited potential and unlimited future in the eyes of others. With the promotion of caring people, although he may not be famous in the world, he can be regarded as "famous in one day and known all over the world". Coupled with the fierce competition among the five major forces in the Lingkong Immortal World and the invasion of the demon world, the thirst for talented experts has reached an extreme. Under this situation, the newly famous Immortal Luo Tianshui naturally entered the field of vision of the major forces.
Since Luo Tianshui wants to make great achievements in the Lingkong Immortal World, it is naturally impossible for him to fight alone. However, given the current situation of the Lingkong Immortal World, it will take a hundred years for Luo Tianshui to gather a group of forces to gain a foothold and plan for big things. It is too dangerous to be attacked by the five emperors from the east, west, south, north, center and the six demonic forces. Yunlong was not a person who didn't know how to adapt. His character's clone, Luo Tianshui, naturally didn't have the extreme arrogance to be inferior to others for a moment, so he chose the path of relying on one force and then trying to develop. However, since you have to rely on others, you naturally have to sell it at a good price. When supply exceeds demand, the more competitors that participate, the more valuable Luo Tianshui will be. Therefore, under his deliberate promotion, you can imagine how fierce the competition between the five forces is. .
After going through a tortuous, bizarre, and bizarre experience that could fill a novel, Luo Tianshui was finally granted a high position by the Black Emperor of the North, and he was allowed to enter the Black Emperor's Sutra Pavilion to practice various exercises. Secrets, especially various water control techniques from the Northern Black Emperor lineage, were recruited at the expense.
I chose to temporarily attach myself to the Northern Black Emperor not only because the Black Emperor's lineage is good at water magic, which is consistent with Luo Tianshui's identity as being super talented in water magic, but also because the Black Emperor's lineage is inclusive and recruits people regardless of their origins, only based on their cultivation level. To put it bluntly, It's a mixed bag of fish and dragons, good and evil, which makes it easy for Luo Tianshui to fish in troubled waters.
Sure enough, Luo Tianshui was awarded the position of "Black Water Protector" just after he joined the Black Emperor. His name was to inspect all swamps, lakes, and even rivers and seas within the Black Emperor's sphere of influence. If anyone was found who disobeyed control, or was colluding with foreign enemies, or intended to betray, The right to kill on the spot or report to the Black Emperor to send people to encircle and suppress them is like the special envoys and imperial envoys of the mortal court. But in reality, this is just a name. Most cultivators in the world of cultivation are no different than the mortal world. They are people who yearn for freedom and seduction. Unless their cultivation is too poor, few can endure being controlled. Besides, the world of cultivation has always been full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The richer the spiritual energy in the world, the higher the proportion of masters among cultivators. Who knows, somewhere in the corner, a peerless master will pop up and unleash his might, which will embarrass the big powers with jurisdiction. .
Therefore, the larger the world, the less powerful those forces are like the mortal governments and courts, which can take over life and death. Instead, they can easily be ignored. Although they have great righteousness, they are unable to truly control the cultivators in the areas under their jurisdiction. Even the Supreme Heavenly Court of the Three Realms, "Taikai Tian Zhi Fu Li Han Zhen Dao Dao Haotian Jade Emperor" who is known as "the ruler of the three realms and supreme" in the earthly immortal world, that is, the central heaven led by the Jade Emperor, can only rule the three realms in name.
In fact, let alone the Three Realms, only a small part of the four major continents in the Earthly Immortal Realm is under the control of Heaven. The other territories are either barren mountains and rivers occupied by great demons and giants, or they have been transformed into their own territory by Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. They only obeyed the leadership of the Heavenly Court in name, but actually acted on their own without taking the Heavenly Court seriously. There were even powerful demons and trolls who led rebellions from time to time, claiming to overthrow the Heavenly Court. Although they never succeeded, they also brought great embarrassment to the Central Heavenly Court.
This is true even for the Central Heavenly Court of the Three Realms, which was appointed by Taoist Patriarch Hongjun and supported by the saints of the Three Religions, let alone the cultivation regime in the middle-thousand world such as the Lingkong Immortal Realm. Not to mention that there are many cultivators who disobey the jurisdiction in the territories of the other four emperors, not to mention the Black Emperor's territory. There is no way that as a cultivator who is a cultivator who defies heaven in his heart, he is too rebellious. Strategies such as killing one to scare a hundred, killing chickens to scare monkeys, etc. are simply ineffective. Even if you kill a group of rebellious people today, you never know where they will end up tomorrow. Over time, it has become a common practice in the cultivation circles of various worlds to break out into a group of rioting people who can't be cured.
Therefore, although Luo Tianshui, the "Defender of Black Water", has a noble name and is directly subordinate to the leadership of the Black Emperor Palace, he is only one level different from the commanders of other legions, but in reality he is only equivalent to a high-level thug and a part-time senior patrolman. Most of the time on weekdays, I spend most of my time patrolling various places under the jurisdiction of the Black Emperor to inspect those cultivators and monsters who use water to practice. As long as everyone nominally respects the Black Emperor as their master and openly rebels without making it difficult for each other to step down, they will just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. After all, there are too many cultivators and their thoughts are unpredictable. No one knows what kind of thoughts are hidden behind their respectful appearance. As long as they don't openly rebel and pay their taxes on time, the Black Emperor has no intention of conquering them one by one.
Of course, if you really encounter some bold and unreasonable guys who dare to resist the black bottom rule, you should take action when it's time to take action. If you can beat them, if you can't, go back and bring people to destroy them. If you do this, you will be rewarded. At the same time, we also need to record what we saw and heard along the way and hand it over to the Black Emperor Palace when we go back. This will count as the work is completed. It is handed over approximately every thirty years, and the remaining time can be used to induce activities.
These are the experiences taught by the older generation of Blackwater protectors. Of course, Luo Tianshui got it after paying some treasured weapon refining materials and medicinal materials. Of course, due to the recent invasion of demons, he has another task: to eliminate the demons in his jurisdiction during his patrol.
Therefore, although the position of Blackwater Protector does not have a lot of power, the status is not low and the leisure is very satisfactory to Luo Tianshui, a guy with ulterior motives. Therefore, on weekdays, his work can be considered to be his best, and his task completion rate is relatively high, which makes the Black Emperor satisfied and he values him more and more. Of course, the Black Emperor turned a blind eye to how many "private jobs" he did secretly using his position. After all, no one is perfect. Moreover, acting greedy will give the person the impression that they have many shortcomings that are easy to control.
When it comes to conspiracies, intrigues, and palace calculations, You Longzi, who had lived in the Song Dynasty court for many years to assist Zhao Kuangyin in handling military and political affairs, but Luo Tianshui, who had most of the experience to remember and share, naturally started to "use it" without hesitation. used.
Luo Tianshui is a new official and he is very enthusiastic about his work. In addition, he has ulterior motives, so he works very hard in patrolling, especially in exterminating demons, which makes his colleagues who have also served as "Blackwater Guardians" for many years very embarrassed.
No one knows that Luo Tianshui does not just regard his actions in the Lingkong Fairyland as work, but as a battle, and the entire Lingkong Fairyland is his battlefield!
