In the poor mountains and rift valleys, white mist rises from the hot spring pools.
Wu Wan put a piece of cloth on his forehead and lay down among the stones that had just been half melted away with his magical power, listening to the old Taoist on the side who kept telling him.
Speaking of exhortations, this is to give face to Senior Sanxian.
This is totally on the level of nagging!
Wu Huan thought of his old uncle in his previous life, who was still a show-off and liked to tell him over and over again about one thing. However, one thing was good, that is, he was not a bad person.
Although there are a lot of mysteries surrounding Senior Sanxian, Wu Wan can truly feel that this old man has a good heart.
A wooden tray floated swaying on the water. On it were wine glasses, wine bottles, and a small plate of spiritual fruits for drinking.
"Senior, on the hour?"
"Shan," the old Taoist said slowly with a satisfied smile, "Wuwu, you are really enjoying your little life."
Wuwang smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank with the old Taoist, then pinched the spiritual fruit and put it in his mouth to taste it for a while, and then said:
"Actually, it can't be said to be comfortable. Compared with the life I once enjoyed, it's a bit monotonous."
"Oh? Life over there in Kitano is so colorful?"
The old Taoist Sanxian didn't know the meaning of Wu Huan's words, so Wu Huan smiled and changed the subject.
With a little light in his eyes, Wu Huan looked at the blue sky between the mountain walls and said slowly:
"Senior, tell me, what will the human realm be like in the future?"
"It should become more prosperous."
Sanxian Fuxu smiled, his long pale hair looked a little withered, but his eyes were still full of energy.
He said: "The poor Taoist has a low level of cultivation, so his understanding of many things is naturally not as thorough as that of big men like you. However, as the poor Taoist has been cultivating all the way, he can truly feel that the atmosphere and environment of the entire human realm are all different day by day. One day is good.”
"After all, the Heavenly Palace is a mountain that cannot be bypassed."
Wu Wan murmured, but for a moment he couldn't take his eyes away from looking at the sky.
Taoist Sanxian glanced at Wu Wang, Fu Xu hummed, and said slowly: "Wu Wang, I actually have some questions."
"Senior, just ask."
"I still can't understand it, and the more I know you, the more I don't understand it."
Taoist Sanxian drank the wine in one gulp and muttered:
"Why are you helping the Human Realm so much? You are the young master of the Beiye Clan, and you have the blessing of the Star God, so you could have stayed out of the Human Realm's affairs."
Wu smiled and said, "Actually, it's because of the long love between children."
"Seriously? Don't try to coax Pindao," Sanxian frowned, "You don't seem to have the temperament to put your own clan in danger just because of the love between your children.
If the Heavenly Palace knew that you were helping the human realm, wouldn't your people be in danger? "
"This is a bit complicated to explain."
Wu Wan groaned a few times and sighed slightly.
"Actually, it was all emotional. When I first came to the Human Realm, I was worried that I would cause trouble to my clan, so I deliberately hid my whereabouts. Even if I met His Majesty first and obtained the Yan Emperor's order, I still felt very uneasy after I came to the Human Realm.
After all, I am the young master of a clan and I should consider the clan. "
"Then why?"
"Really speaking, it comes from the human realm itself."
Wu laughed and said:
"I learned from the book that the Sui people drilled wood to make fire, Fuxi deduced the Eight Diagrams, and Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs. I also learned that there were human forces that were confronting the Heavenly Palace and resisting the divine authority, and they also found their own path of spiritual practice.
My heart longs for it, and I want to come here to practice and become an immortal.
Then something happened that made me think, eh, this human realm is not bad.
Immortals and demons don't know how to fight, cough, or tear each other apart, and demon cultivators don't feel like killing people and drinking blood, which is great. "
Taoist Sanxian asked strangely: "Why does the demon cultivator kill people and drink blood?"
"Well……"
Wu Wan blinked: "It's just my imagination before."
Taoist Sanxian smiled and said: "According to what you mean, Wuwang, you are willing to stay and help because you have recognized the human realm."
"Well," Wu Wang's gaze became more profound, "Senior, have you ever considered something."
"What?"
Wu Wang said: "The role of the human domain in the wilderness now."
"this……"
Taoist Sanxian looked troubled, "Wuwang, you are putting the poor Tao in a bit of a dilemma. The poor Tao is not familiar with this."
"Senior, don't blame me. I'm used to being a bit unreasonable."
Wu smiled and said: "The truth is actually very simple. In today's wilderness, the human realm has played a role in containing the Heavenly Palace, preventing the divine authority from being unscrupulous, and allowing the gods in the Heavenly Palace to gradually face the living beings.
Although we do not have the strength to counterattack Tiangong, Tiangong has never been able to take back the Avenue of Fire. As long as the human realm continues to exist for one day, they will still be restless.
I've seen some sights. "
Some pictures flashed through Wu Wan's mind.
A wisp of his soul became more and more in tune with the Star God's divine body. The Star God's memory sea that had been sealed away by his mother Cang Xue also revealed a corner to Wu Wan, allowing him to see a little of the Star God's memory from time to time.
There, there is boundless persecution of living beings when divine power is not restrained.
Wu Wan continued: "There is a slightly ironic fact that only in the human domain can hundreds of races be valued by the Heavenly Palace. However, the masters of the hundreds of races are controlled by the Heavenly Palace and become the vanguard of the conquest of the human domain."
Taoist Sanxian thought carefully and said warmly: "What you said is really correct."
"The enemy is in the Heavenly Palace."
Wu Huan picked up the wine bottle and drank it down in one gulp, and then said: "Because the Human Domain is there, Beiye can remain stable. If the Human Domain collapses, the Beiye land will gradually be eroded by the innate gods.
The situation of Star God is not optimistic.
When I am in the realm of protecting people, I am also protecting my own tribe in disguise.
The specific situation is naturally not that simple, but in the final analysis, it is a matter of life and death. "
Taoist Sanxian looked astonished and said slowly, "If you put it like this, I will understand."
"Of course," Wu Wang added, "there is still a little bit of personal emotion."
Taoist Sanxian couldn't help but chuckle. He wanted to make fun of Wu Wan, but he was afraid that the young man would be disrespectful, so he started talking about formations.
Wu Wu suddenly felt a headache.
However, he had gained some insights into formations in the Southeast Region before. Although he could not respond fluently at this time, he could still say two, three, four, and six.
Wu Huan had a thought in his mind and asked: "Senior, why don't you stay in Mie Zong for a few more months so that you can teach me how to practice the formation method? After a few months, I will send senior to the Southeast Region and stay there for a while longer." Time.”
"this……"
Taoist Sanxian thought for a moment and agreed with a smile.
"The poor Taoist's longevity should only be two or three years, but there is not much left to do."
Wu Wang asked: "Senior, is there anyone you care about?"
"Those who care about me," Old Taoist Sanxian murmured, his old eyes a little cloudy, "I can only bless them now. After all, they have become immortals now and still maintain their beautiful appearance.
It’s okay not to mention the past, I hope they will succeed in their practice and live a long life. "
they?
This old man really has a lot of stories.
"Owner."
Ming She suddenly appeared behind Wu Wan and spoke calmly;
Wu Wan subconsciously tightened the long cloth around his waist.
"What's wrong?"
"Xiao Jian is coming. He is in a hurry and is already thousands of miles away."
Wu Wang said: "Well, just pick him up and let him come here."
"Yes, Master."
Ming She had not squinted his eyes from beginning to end, and had been watching Wu Wan's back. At this moment, his body flashed, and he had escaped from the universe, leaving no trace of his body for thousands of miles.
After a while, Taoist Xiaojian appeared at the side of the hot spring. He cupped his hands in the air and thanked him. He lifted up the hem of his robe and hurried forward, saying in a deep voice:
"Wuwang, something happened!"
…
Tiangong made a sneak attack on the southeast region.
When Wu Wang first heard the news, he was stunned, and then became extremely puzzled.
He analyzed Tiangong's motives for attacking the Southeast Region for the second time from various angles, but he could not find a self-consistent logic.
Is the Earth God standing too high, or is his thinking too complicated?
What big deal is that earth god planning?
On the shore of the hot spring, Wu Wang put on his long clothes, put on his walking boots, and paced back and forth with Xiao Jian.
Taoist Sanxian was also paying attention to this matter. He wanted to speak several times, but felt that his suggestions would be a bit shallow, so he resisted the urge to speak.
The Tiangong launched an undeclared war and launched a sneak attack on the human domain forces in the northwest of the Southeast Region, catching the human domain side by surprise, killing thousands of monks, affecting several Southeast Region tribes, and blowing up six spiritual stone veins.
Spirit stones are a scarce resource in the human realm. Although the gods in the Heavenly Palace also have uses, their uses are not as extensive as in the human realm.
The behavior of exploding the spirit stone mine actually proves that Tiangong does not intend to cultivate puppets in the southeast region, they just want to attack the forces in the human realm.
"Tiangong goes to the southeast region?"
Wu Wang muttered: "It can't be possible. It's because they felt that they were defeated too badly in the Southeast Region last time. Where did they fall and where did they get up?"
"It's not impossible."
Xiao Jian said: "Sometimes we think Tiangong can do things that Tiangong can't do, but Tiangong can always do."
"Overestimating the Earth God?"
Wu Wan took a breath: "I can't understand at all what the Earth God wants to do with this move, and what is our reaction?"
“All forces in the Southeast Region have been mobilized to take precautions,” Xiao Jian said, “Your Majesty has ordered that all forces in the Southeast Region be temporarily retreated towards the southern part of the Southeast Region.
It's okay to lose some mineral veins. The current stage is to reduce casualties as much as possible and wait for the human army to arrive.
His Majesty has also given orders, and preparations for the human domain's counterattack are in full swing.
I have your Majesty's permission to come and talk to you about this matter. It's no mistake. What do you think? "
"I can't see clearly. I don't know what this earth god is going to do."
Xiao Jian asked again: "Does the Earth God have any powerful abilities?"
"As the God of the Five Elements, the God of Earth is actually on the same level as the God of Fire in the system of the Heavenly Palace," Wu Wang said, "According to what I know now, this God of Earth is a calm man and never takes risks.
This time the Tiangong attacked the Southeast Region. If it was really his handiwork, it would definitely not be simple.
You must be cautious and cautious. "
The Sanxian Taoist took advantage of every opportunity and said, "Not bad."
Wu Wan's eyes lit up: "Senior, do you also know about the Earth God?"
The Sanxian Taoist looked embarrassed: "Tu Shen... sounds very steady."
"That's okay," Xiao Jian said seriously, "Why don't you go to His Majesty and discuss this matter together."
Wu Wang slightly hesitated and said slowly:
"I have just resigned from office, and it is really not appropriate to appear next to His Majesty the Emperor right now. In this case, I will write a jade talisman and write down the details of what I know about the Earth God in it, and you will take it back with me, Brother Dao. .
By the way, please give me a message for Your Majesty. "
"What?"
"Your Majesty can call me at any time if necessary," Wu Wan's voice was unhurried, but his expression was extremely serious, "but I don't want to hear any voice that will dirty my ears, and there is no need to grant me an official position."
Xiaojian and Sanxian Laodao each looked at Wu Wan.
Xiao Jian asked directly: "Why do you do this?"
The old Taoist Sanxian also said warmly: "Nothing wrong. If you can do something for the human realm, you should do your best."
"I'm not being pretentious."
Wu Wang said calmly:
"I just feel that His Majesty has come to the front of the stage, and that this matter should be personally presided over by His Majesty. Let's work hard to win a big victory, so that the whole country can quickly adapt to the fact that His Majesty is personally in charge of the power.
I just resigned from office not long ago. If I return to office again, I will be criticized.
Later, we can contact him directly using the communication jade talisman. Brother Dao does not need to make a trip in person. "
"good."
Xiaojian responded and said with a wry smile: "Come here directly, wouldn't it show that I respect you enough for Wuwu? My teacher also told me to meet you as often as possible, and don't let our relationship become estranged.
I will go back and report to your Majesty right away. "
Wu Wang warned: "Remember to avoid people reporting."
"Naturally," Xiao Sword arched his hands, and his figure rose into the sky, turning into a sword shadow and a rainbow of light, shooting towards the north.
Wu Wang stood by the hot spring pool with his hands behind his back, meditating for a while.
The southeastern region of the Great Wilderness, the Heavenly Palace Raid...
Where is the logical fulcrum of this matter?
Wu Wan fell into a slight tangle.
"Nothing is wrong," Sanxian Taoist said warmly from the side, "You don't have to worry about Pindao. Pindao can stay here temporarily and you can destroy the sect. I won't cause any trouble for you."
Wu smiled and said, "That would be a injustice to senior."
"Hey, you're welcome."
The old Taoist Sanxian said with emotion: "I also have a heart to kill enemies for the human realm, but I am not an immortal, and my broken body cannot set off any fireworks."
Wu Wan said sternly: "The contribution made by our seniors to perfecting the human realm's formation method should not be forgotten by the human realm."
"It's just a small thing."
Sanxian smiled, but it was a bit of a benefit.
Wu Huan did not stay at the hot spring for long, and soon returned to Mie Sect with Taoist Sanxian. Taoist Sanxian immediately returned to his residence and told Old Man Xue Ying about what happened in the southeast region.
Old Man Xue Ying's wealth was all in the Southeast Region. Hearing this, he felt restless. He quickly found Wu Wan and wanted to return to the Southeast together with the masters from the Human Domain.
Wu Wan agreed without much hesitation and ordered Ming Snake to send the old man Snow Eagle to Sihai Pavilion.
As long as the master of Feng Pavilion takes care of him, he can safely send Old Snow Eagle back to the southeast region.
Old Man Xue Ying has many relatives, friends, and subordinates in the Southeast Region. His own cultivation level is also in the Immortal Realm, and he can do a lot of things in the Southeast Region.
Old Taoist Sanxian planned to go with his old friend, but was stopped by Old Man Xue Ying and Wu Wan.
The head-on battle between the human realm and the heavenly palace quickly began in the southeast region.
In the first few days, the original power of the Human Domain side in the Southeast Region shrank rapidly, but under the fierce pursuit of the Tiangong Divine Guard army, the losses were still very heavy.
The Lin family stood up in time, and Lin Nuhao pushed Lin Qi to the front. As the holder of the Yan Emperor Order, he called on all forces in the Southeastern Human Domain to set up defense lines and fight while retreating.
On the fifth day when Tiangong launched a surprise attack, a large number of immortal soldiers from the human realm poured into the southeast region, but the army of Tiangong's divine guards quickly retreated north.
The leader of the human realm is Liu Bairen.
Previously, due to huge mistakes in the Southeast Branch Pavilion, Liu Bairen, the master of the Renhuang Pavilion, also took the blame and resigned, but was retained by the Emperor Shennong.
This time Liu Bairen performed meritorious service for Dai Zui, and got a lot of information about the "Earth God" from Wu Wang, and he himself became extremely stable.
When many experts in the human domain proposed to pursue the Tiangong Divine Guard army, Liu Bairen insisted on setting up a defensive line and holding on to the southeast.
It later proved that Liu Bairen's persistence made great achievements.
The army of divine guards was just bait, and there were countless elites from hundreds of tribes ambushing them behind.
Moreover, regardless of the mobilization of the Heavenly Palace Divine Guards or the gathering of elites from hundreds of tribes, the Human Domain has not received any news before.
Various signs indicate that the Heavenly Palace at this time is different from the Heavenly Palace when Da Siming was in power...
Very different.
In the next half month, the Southeast Region was turbulent.
The strong gods of Tiangong continued to show their traces, and more and more elites from hundreds of tribes entered the Southeast Region from the East Wilderness, occupying a large area in the north of the Southeast Region, and began to do something that shocked the cultivators in the region.
Tiangong, who had always been aloof, overlooking all living beings and unwilling to surrender to all living beings, actually...
They began to move mountains and reclaim seas, and built a defensive formation that was beneficial to them. It seemed that they were going to have a long-term confrontation with the human monks in the southeast region.
This really surprised everyone in the domain.
Wu Wan, who was guarding a row of communication jade talismans in Mie Zong, was just like the two-foot-tall Yang Wudi - he was at a loss when he heard about this.
What's going on?
What does Tiangong want to do?
The Southeast Region is the farthest boundary from Zhongshan Tiangong. It has always been called the back garden of the Human Realm. Tiangong traveled thousands of miles, sent troops from Dongye, and invested heavily in forcing a confrontation with the Human Realm in the Southeast Region...
No matter how Wu Huan thought, he couldn't figure out what the Emperor of Heaven and the God of Earth wanted to do.
If something is abnormal, there must be something fishy!
Wu Wan racked his brains and used all the forces he could use to observe Tiangong's every move everywhere.
In the Starry Sky Temple, Cang Xue also stopped her daily routine of leisurely watching theater and stared at Zhongshan condescendingly, her hands never leaving the long staff for a moment.
Deep in the North Sea, on the ice sheet, an orchid grass swayed gently in the snowstorm.
In the land of Zhongshan, spies from the human domain have become unprecedentedly active.
Many tribes of hundreds of people who were secretly connected to the human domain were also questioned repeatedly, but they all looked confused and at a loss.
"This Earth God is indeed much more difficult to deal with than Da Siming."
Wu Wan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but he was also inspired to fight a little, and began to sort through the information he already knew, hoping to get a glimpse of Tiangong's plan.
Not only Wu Wan couldn't understand, but even the well-informed living fossil of the wilderness like the God of Sleep was confused by Tiangong's actions at this moment.
What the God of Sleep has said the most in the past few days is this: "Aren't they afraid of being taken advantage of?"
As a precaution, the Human Domain has begun to mobilize troops intensively, not only on the East China Sea, but also to strengthen the defense of the four borders.
In fact, all the Immortal Sects and Demon Sects were mobilized and patrolled everywhere in the human domain, making all preparations for a big war.
In the southeast region, the confrontation between the two sides maintains a delicate balance.
In a series of games unfolding on the side, Tiangong can always deftly resolve the siege of monks in the human realm.
Then, there was a stalemate.
Wu Wang had all his hair pulled off, and he couldn't understand Tiangong's actions. He had no clear purpose and used so much power...
Strike first to gain the upper hand?
No matter what Tiangong wants to do, just go ahead and fight him regardless?
The Southeast Region is not a human realm, and without the back-up men left by the two former emperors Suiren and Fuxi, if they take the initiative to start a war with Tiangong there, they will actually suffer a loss.
It was really caught by the earth god.
In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate for two months.
The Human Realm launched a tentative proactive attack, but it was cleverly resolved by the Tiangong side.
This time, the gods of the Heavenly Palace showed great patience. They even left seven or eight escape routes in Dongye, and even the goddess Xihe personally held the battle in Dongye.
It is impenetrable and impenetrable.
The way of earth was actually applied to the military formation.
"There are really capable people in Tiangong."
In the temple of the God of Sleep, Wu Wan and the God of Sleep faced each other face to face. Wu Wan looked a little haggard, and the God of Sleep also frowned.
The God of Sleep muttered: "No matter what, I think it is better for the human realm to take the initiative, even if the sacrifice is higher."
"I'm already preparing to go to the old man's place," Wu Huan shook his head, "It's really uncomfortable to wait like this. I've used dozens of communication jade talismans."
"I can't help you this time," the God of Sleep shook his head, "Let the human realm face it on its own."
"Well," Wu said with a smile, "Brother, just live here with peace of mind. After all, this is a war that has nothing to do with you."
"It's not irrelevant... Huh?"
The God of Sleep suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the palace door, a golden divine light flashed in his eyes, and his expression changed slightly.
Wu Wang asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"Your senior Sanxian is dreaming," the God of Sleep whispered, "but he was pulled into the dream, and the Tao Yun who pulled him into the dream..."
"who?"
The God of Sleep hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and pressed Wu Wan's arm, and spoke two words:
"Emperor."
