Chapter 687 Goodbye Jin Ming

"Is your Majesty willing to teach me how to be the master of the world?" Immortal Hongluan's heart beat fast.

"Why not?" Chen Jingzhai said with a smile, "It was by chance that I became the master of the world. Besides, even if you cultivate to perfection of mind power and master the laws of the great way of mind, you can never reach the level of the Eight Desolate Holy Land. The Eight Desolate Holy Land is what it is today because of its own good fortune and chance."

"I understand," Hongluan Immortal Venerable nodded, "I don't expect to reach this level. It is enough for me to explore the laws and become a saint."

After she became the Golden Immortal of Great Luo, she had more clones and more perspectives and channels to understand the universe and other forces. As far as the Immortal Hongluan knew, no lord of the universe in the history of the entire universe was as exaggerated as Chen Jingzhai, who could rise in a short period of time.

Including the period when he was a cultivator, the time since Chen Jingzhai rose to prominence was less than 60,000 years. 60,000 years may sound like a long time, but to a Daluo Jinxian, it is nothing. Even a million years is very young. But Chen Jingzhai became a saint in less than 60,000 years, which not only broke the record, but also exceeded the norm.

It is precisely because of his understanding of the Lord of the Universe that the Immortal Venerable Hongluan understands the rarity and uniqueness of the Eight Desolate Holy Land. Not to mention that even the saints have long known that they cannot discover the existence of the Eight Desolate Holy Land, the Heavenly Dao Net alone is not something that other Lords of the Universe can possess.

"It's best if you have this idea," Chen Jingzhai said with a smile, "From a Golden Immortal to a Saint, it's a crucial step. There's no such thing as chance. What matters is understanding the laws. If you follow the path of the heart, you will understand the laws faster than other Golden Immortals in the future. This is one of the few good news."

When one reaches the Golden Immortal of Daluo, he takes a step towards perfection in the Tao Fruit and begins to come into contact with the laws. As long as he comprehends the laws to a certain degree and creates his own magical powers, he will naturally be promoted to a saint. Therefore, this is a process that takes a long time to accomplish, and there is no shortcut except for the Lord of the Universe.

The Great Way of the Heart is different from other laws in that it requires a very high state of mind and character, and it emphasizes talent. Hongluan Immortal Venerable is in tune with this and has a very high talent, so once she practices the Great Way of the Heart, she will improve faster and make more obvious progress than other Daluo Jinxians.

With such benefits, it was hard for the Immortal Hongluan not to be tempted, so she said goodbye and left, immediately returning to her own star field to begin her retreat.

The environment of the Eight Desolations Holy Land is getting better day by day. Since its promotion to the Eight Desolations Holy Land, the speed and efficiency of the Eight Desolations Holy Land's absorption and exhalation of chaotic energy and conversion into innate energy have been significantly improved. Under Chen Jingzhai's arrangement, these innate energies secretly nourish the star field. The more immortals there are, the less innate energy they obtain.

In this way, although the space of the Eight Desolations Holy Land has expanded and the star field has increased, the concentration of vital energy between heaven and earth has not decreased much, but has increased slowly. In addition, the vitality burst out by the immortals in the Eight Desolations Holy Land has indeed attracted many immortals to settle down and play.

After the Emperor's return, the Heavenly Court fell into stability, peace and tranquility. The celestial concubines spent most of their time with the Emperor, and the immortal concubines also received his grace and gained benefits. Among them, Immortal Concubine Yunxi was successfully promoted to Taiyi Golden Immortal, and many other celestial concubines were also promoted one after another.

With the help of the Emperor, the ancestor of the Hu tribe was promoted to the Golden Immortal. The Demon tribe also used this as an excuse to present a number of beautiful demon women to Chen Jingzhai. Chen Jingzhai neither refused nor accepted them directly. It was the Emperor and Empress who personally took him in and made detailed arrangements for him.

After 57,500 years in the Eight Desolations, the Five Natural Disaster Demon Gods finally ascended to become Golden Immortals. They experienced a lot of torture on the road to natural disasters, and now they have finally achieved Daluo. The five natural disaster demon gods are very touched. Of course, they can no longer be called Natural Disaster Demon Gods, but should be called Natural Disaster Daluo or Natural Disaster Immortals.

After becoming Daluo Jinxian, they are no longer affected by disasters and their sanity returns to normal. Not only that, each of them also guards a star field alone. The difference is that these star fields cannot be opened to the outside world. Even the Luotian Immortal Sect is not qualified to enter them. One must get the approval of the Emperor or Empress.

There will be a group of immortals who are willing to follow the path of natural disasters and enter the star field to practice. The natural disaster immortals will give individual guidance. To a certain extent, this is to let the natural disaster immortals train more natural disaster immortals, and by having the natural disaster immortals absorb the power of disasters, the disasters in the Eight Desolate Holy Land will be weakened.

After the promotion of the Eight Desolate Holy Land, disasters did occur, but became increasingly intense, and there was even the prototype of the Land of Guixu. However, with the presence of the five natural disaster immortals and Tu Ruoyan, the prototype of the Land of Guixu disappeared, and the disasters were also handled by Chengtuo Mountain, so there was naturally no problem.

With the return of the Immortal Lord of Natural Disasters, the Holy Land of Eight Desolations has become better. The immortals are no longer seeking immortal officials, but are trying to find ways to obtain immortal cities, or to let the immortals seek positions in their star fields, so as to use the power of the star fields to continuously bless themselves, and then break through or gain benefits.

The five natural disaster immortals are in a miserable situation. They cannot rely on the power of Luotian Immortal Sect. At the beginning, they can only do it themselves. Some immortals in the star field need to take the initiative to leave the star field and replenish other star fields. After that, the five natural disaster immortals need to arrange the star field, select the real materials, and teach the way of natural disasters.

It can be said that other Daluo Jinxian are busy in seclusion or traveling around the Eight Desolate Holy Land, and only they are suffering and need to start from scratch. However, this is a good thing for the five of them. They have rested for too long and now they feel good to be busy.

Time quickly came to the 58,000th year. The Emperor did not show up during the small court meeting, and from that year on, the Emperor never showed up at the small court meeting again. It was always the Empress who presided over the small court meeting. Not only that, she seldom expressed her opinions, and everything was done according to the rules.

Each department reported on its work, the civil and military masters announced the reward and punishment lists, discussed the future plans and programs of each department, and then discussed personnel arrangements and the future development of Heaven. This year, the number of star fields in Heaven exceeded one thousand, reaching one thousand and eighty. It has accommodated many Golden Immortal-level universes, and now it is time to accommodate Taiyi-level universes.

Just when the Heavenly Court was holding a small court meeting, Emperor Chen Jingzhai drove the Qingzhai Immortal Ship to the Jinming Saint Universe. He arrived silently, but Jinming Saint entertained him with the highest standards and led the leaders of many forces in the Saint-level universe to meet him.

"Fellow Daoist, why do you need to mobilize such a large force?" Chen Jingzhai said with a smile.

"Everyone is very curious about the Saint-level Lord of the Universe, so they all want to come and take a look," said Mother Jin Ming with a smile, "The Heavenly Court is well-known, but the Emperor is only known by name, and there are even many immortals who doubt your existence. I think this is a good opportunity for them to experience it."

Chen Jingzhai understood immediately, and released all his aura. An extremely strong pressure instantly swept across the whole place. The sky suddenly changed, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, and all the Golden Immortals present knelt on the ground, some were unconscious, some had their eyes wide open, and some rolled their eyes and fainted.

Upon seeing this, Holy Mother Jin Ming waved her hand and disappeared with Chen Jingzhai. The shock caused by this also spread with the awakening of the Golden Immortals. You Wanli became the most sought-after traveling merchant, and no force doubted the strength of Heaven anymore. The dragon clan even found a way to contact Aoyi and agreed to let Aoyi open up a new lineage for the dragon clan.

Chen Jingzhai doesn’t know this for now, and he wouldn’t care even if he knew.

He reappeared at the place where You Wanli had first entered the Holy Mother Universe. This was a huge mirror space. He was sitting cross-legged on a floating cloud, and opposite him was Holy Mother Jin Ming. Although it was the first time they met, they were not at all pretentious, and there was no sense of unfamiliarity.

"The first time I discovered you was when a universe was destroyed and a cosmic treasure was discovered," Jin Ming Holy Mother smiled at Chen Jingzhai, "At that time I discovered that you had just been promoted to Daluo Jinxian, but your aura was brand new. More importantly, you were actually the master of the universe, which was really amazing."

"You are too kind," Chen Jingzhai said, "The destroyed universe is the world where I was born. If I hadn't become the master of the world by coincidence, I would have been destroyed along with that universe. I would also like to thank you for taking care of You Wanli, especially for taking care of Wangyue Tower in Tianwu World."

"You have your own rules, and I will not break them," Jin Ming Holy Mother smiled and said, "When will you invite me to your universe?"

"Do you dare to go?" Chen Jingzhai said calmly, "The Heavenly Palace is my universe, and it follows the path of diversity. Even if a saint enters it, I am confident that I can directly suppress the seal and make it the nourishment of my Eight Desolate Holy Land. Aren't you afraid that I will take action?"

"Of course I am afraid, so I am going to send a clone." Jin Ming Holy Mother said with a smile, "Besides, I don't believe you will take action. There is no conflict of interest between us. There is no benefit in a life-and-death battle. Even if you can suppress me, the price you pay will definitely be high, so there is no need to say these things. I have no ill intentions."

"You can go anytime," Chen Jingzhai said, "I came here to find out some information."

"About the Universe Kingdom?" Saint Mother Jin Ming asked, restraining her smile.

"Yes," Chen Jingzhai nodded, "The universe domain is indeed at a dead end. After taking in a large number of universes, I found that these universes lost their vitality and nourishment. They seemed to be heading towards barrenness and consuming a lot of potential, but I didn't find anything wrong."

"A long time ago, Daluotian, Nilo and I explored this answer together," said the Holy Mother Jin Ming. "Nilo is the saint of the elves. He usually stays in seclusion and prefers quietness to movement. Daluotian and I forced him to investigate, and it took us a million years to really figure out the root cause."

"What is it?" Chen Jingzhai asked impatiently.

"The reason is actually very simple," said Mother Jin Ming with a complicated look, "The destruction of the universe caused ripples in space, causing the chaotic energy between the universes in the universe domain to become thinner, and even began to dissipate with the sweeping of space energy. Without the chaotic energy, the universe naturally has no nourishment, and they withered."

"So simple?" Chen Jingzhai asked in surprise, "If that's the case, a saint can definitely attract more chaotic energy."

Whether it is the cosmic domain or the cosmic kingdom, they are actually in chaos. The chaotic energy is endless, but the chaotic energy is thin in the cosmic domain. If a saint takes action, he can draw the chaotic energy over. In Chen Jingzhai's opinion, this can completely solve the problem.

"We discovered it too late," Jin Ming Sheng Mu sighed, "The loss of Chaos Qi is not a matter of one day or one night. It started a long time ago. It has been lost for too long, causing great problems in the universe. If we rashly pull in the Chaos Qi, the universe will be exhausted and destroyed directly."

They have not only thought of a solution, in fact they have never stopped researching since they discovered the problem. They use formations or magical powers to draw a wisp of chaotic energy over. Some universes can absorb it, while others cannot and will even cause damage. The universes are so numerous that it is impossible to take care of them all.

"We came up with a plan and created the Guixu Land, using the Guixu energy to block the dissipation of the chaotic energy," said Mother Jin Ming. "It was very useful at first, and we thought it was successful, but we didn't expect the Guixu Land to grow larger and larger, and the Guixu energy to increase, and even affect the universe in reverse."

"So that's how it is." Chen Jingzhai understood.

Back then, You Wanli, Dujiao and others were trapped in Guixu. Their fundamental purpose was not to resolve the problem of Guixu. Holy Mother Jin Ming also knew that You Wanli was not sure about this. He just valued the Devouring Gourd and wanted to gain new inspiration from it. Unexpectedly, she had not yet fully comprehended the Devouring Gourd.

"From You Wanli, I saw the possibility of a solution. I originally thought he would succeed, but I didn't expect it would be you in the end." Mother Jin Ming smiled, "I was puzzled for a long time, until you contained the universe, I realized that this might be a brand new opportunity for life in the universe."

"So you want to take a look at my world?" Chen Jingzhai said with a smile.

"That's right," Mother Jin Ming nodded, "I didn't stop you, you have to show me and let me know that my choice is correct."

"Then let's go now!" Chen Jingzhai stood up and said, "I'll show you my most real world."

Holy Mother Jin Ming looked at him in surprise, and then did not stand up, but a veiled female fairy walked out from behind her. She came to Chen Jingzhai's side, and was casually taken in by Chen Jingzhai into the Eight Desolate Holy Land. A divine thought directly sent You Wanli to accompany her.

"It's full of vitality. The gaps between universes have been broken and integrated into the star field. That's good." Jin Ming Holy Mother sat opposite Chen Jingzhai. "In the future, you can absorb all the universes under Jin Ming Universe. I just hope you can maintain your current attitude and let the human race and the demon race coexist peacefully."

"I will." Chen Jingzhai nodded, "Are you ready to go to the universe?"

"That's right," Saint Jin Ming nodded, "The Universe Kingdom is a free place, and the saints help each other. Although there are inevitable intrigues, at least I am not alone. More importantly, there may be opportunities there, and the powerful beings of the Hunyuan Universe may come to the Universe Kingdom to play."

"Haven't you been to the Hunyuan Universe either?" Chen Jingzhai asked.

“No,” Mother Jin Ming shook her head regretfully, “Few people have entered, but a long time ago, a lord of the universe was summoned up there. I heard that he was valued by the Taoist Primordial Master and has now become a powerful person.”
