I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 2128: Chapter 2128: Dividing the Myriad Realms, The Contest Among Top Factions

”You may stay here and comprehend.”

As they continued deeper, He Mengshen pointed to a sea fish and said, ”There are hardly any people around, and those who can descend here have already begun their comprehension. You should make good use of your time.”

Xu Yeming looked at He Mengshen and asked, ”What about you?”

He Mengshen smiled and said, ”I still need to dive a little further. After comprehending the Path of Yang, to comprehend the Path of Yin safely requires a place where the Dao Law Energy is more intense.”

”Though the Dao Law Energy becomes more intense further down, the accompanying pressure is also greater, making it difficult to get into the right state,” Mu Fusheng advised, ”Here, at least, we can watch out for each other.”

He Mengshen gave Mu Fusheng a deep look, then brought out the River Map and Luo Book, summoning the Star River Compass to protect himself, ”With the River Map and Luo Book, I should be able to go deeper still.”

Mu Fusheng nodded, ”If that’s the case, Brother He, be careful.”

He Mengshen smiled and nodded, continuing to dive without looking back, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Once they could no longer sense He Mengshen, Mu Fusheng looked at Jiu Bailu beside him and softly asked, ”Can you see any strange Cause and Effect Lines?”

Jiu Bailu shook his head, ”I can’t see anything, but it doesn’t rule out that the other party has concealed the heavenly secrets, or perhaps his strength is far greater than mine, making it impossible to see without the Eye of Cause and Effect.”

Mu Fusheng shook his head, ”Then never mind. There are still other people around, but we should also quickly comprehend and try our best to obtain the World Tree Petal.”

Xu Yeming and Jiu Bailu both nodded.

The three of them chose their positions and began their comprehension.

Before starting, Mu Fusheng, as usual, set up a large number of talismans around them.

There were no gaps, not even allowing a mosquito to fly in!

Outside the talismans, Xu Yeming summoned the Taotie Divine Phoenix Candle Dragon, while the void beast’s cub, Kong Xuan, also stood guard.

Nothing more to say...

The defense measures Mu Fusheng, Jiu Bailu, and Xu Yeming took during their comprehension were the most spectacular in the scene... even surpassing those on White Pond’s side.

Not far above them, a noble young lord holding a folding fan was slowly descending, with Dong Sanqiang trailing half a step behind him.

Dong Sanqiang said, ”Young lord, are you not going to begin comprehension? The upper echelon insists on obtaining the World Tree Petal. This would greatly enhance Wanbao Pavilion’s status and foundation in the Myriad Realms and provide an advantageous position in negotiations with the Holy Court.”

Treasure Pillow Book sighed, ”I’m really not used to this haunted place without a woman around.”

”...” Dong Sanqiang was speechless.

Treasure Pillow Book put away the folding fan and chuckled, ”No need to hurry. We can’t possibly get the World Tree Petal.”

Dong Sanqiang exclaimed, ”Even the young lord isn’t confident?”

Treasure Pillow Book laughed, ”We’re not the only ones who know such crucial information about the World Tree Petal.”

Dong Sanqiang immediately became alert, holding his long spear as he scanned the surroundings, ”They’ve also come?”

”Those who should come, have come. Those who shouldn’t cannot.” Treasure Pillow Book looked into the darkness below and sighed slightly, ”To avoid conflicts, the top factions have divided the Myriad Realms into several sections so no one would recklessly seize resources from another Great Realm.

For example, the Fuyao Realm belongs to our Wanbao Pavilion, and without our permission, other Great Realms wouldn’t easily come in, even if the World Tree Petal is here.”

Dong Sanqiang smiled wryly, ”Young lord, just get to the point. I’m just an ordinary martial man, not skilled at all this roundabout thinking.”

”Though other forces cannot come, there’s one force apart from Wanbao Pavilion that can ignore this rule.”

Dong Sanqiang’s face darkened, his tone weighty with two words.

”Holy Court...”

Treasure Pillow Book smiled, ”Besides, someone from the Holy Court has long coveted the World Tree. They prepared in advance, knowing the information before us... pre-preparation gives us no chance to obtain the World Tree Petal.”

Foreknowledge of the information.

Pre-preparation...

Dong Sanqiang said, ”Young lord, do you already know the identity of the person the Holy Court sent?”

Treasure Pillow Book sat cross-legged without answering, ”Since we’re here, let’s comprehend the Path of Yin.”

Seeing this, Dong Sanqiang did not pursue the matter further.

Though he was merely a steward of Wanbao Pavilion in the Fuyao Realm, he was aware of some games played among top factions.

Outwardly, everything seemed smooth and harmonious.

But there’s no telling how much rivalry goes on behind the scenes...

Moreover, some things that cannot be said or done, whoever breaks this balance and brings hidden things to the surface, it won’t benefit anyone.

With such thoughts, Dong Sanqiang discarded their previous conversation from his mind and began silently guarding Treasure Pillow Book.

Since there’s no complexity in his mind,

he would speak less and follow orders.

This is the way to stay safe in top factions.

Within the Void Giant Beast Clan.

On a stone bed, Little Stone was enveloped by swirling streams of purple light.

On a seat not far away were Lu Chang’sheng’s clone and Kong Zhuxin, sitting cross-legged. Before them was a chessboard formed of starlight.

But this chessboard seemed a bit unusual...

”No way, I’ve taught you so many times, why can’t you still learn?” Lu Chang’sheng said impatiently, pointing at the yellow piece in Kong Zhuxin’s hand, ”I said, you can only move in straight lines, if there’s no piece in front, you can only move one space forward! How did you make a turn?!”

After that, he took the yellow piece back a few steps and scolded, ”What, you haven’t learned to start in first gear, and you’re already trying to drift forward?”

What is ’starting in first gear’?

What is ’drift’?

Over these past few days, Lu Chang’sheng occasionally came out with a few incomprehensible remarks, and Kong Zhuxin had become accustomed to it.

Kong Zhuxin responded, ”I wonder where the senior comes from, where chess is so colorful and interesting.”

Connect Four, Chinese Checkers, even flying chess!

Lu Chang’sheng had brought them all out!

Because he couldn’t beat Go or Chinese Chess.

He had to bring out some modern stuff...

And in later generations, these types of chess pieces actually got passed down, claiming the Void Giant Beast Clan invented these three types of chess.

The Void Giant Beast Clan wanted to clarify, but then Lu Chang’sheng said, ”Are you trying to harm me?”

And the matter was left unresolved.

The First Elder of the Void Giant Beast Clan, watching this scene, was on edge.

Kong Zhuxin was their grand elder...

Yet, he had been scolded by Lu Chang’sheng right to his face for several days now...

The First Elder feared that if Kong Zhuxin lost his patience, he might start a fight with Lu Chang’sheng.

However, the First Elder was surprised that Kong Zhuxin didn’t display any temper...

He usually scolded and hit them quite often.

Since when had he become so patient...

At that moment, the spatial power around them began to coalesce wildly towards one spot!

Lu Chang’sheng and Kong Zhuxin both paused, looking in that direction.

The realm was loosening.

The aura was gradually rising.

It was Little Stone!
