Fighter of the Destiny

Huairen failed to convince Chen Changsheng.

Similarly, Chen Changsheng failed to convince the master uncle of Nanxi Zhai.

Huairen said: "You should know very well that the saint will not be able to come out of this retreat in a short time, maybe ten years, or twenty years, or even longer."

Chen Changsheng knew very well that Xu Yourong had already made everything clear in the letter he wrote to him.

Saintess Peak needs a true saint so that it can maintain its sacred status in the state religion and Tiannan.

Similarly, the state religion needs a true saint so that it can have a stronger voice in the confrontation with the court.

The south also needs a true saint to reverse the disadvantage of the powerful ones in the sacred domain in the north after Su Li and the previous saints left.

If Chen Changsheng could enter the sacred realm, many problems could be solved.

But he is the pope and needs to lead the state religion and hundreds of millions of believers.

Saintess' Peak is far away in the south of the sky and has relatively few affairs. She has more time and energy than Chen Changsheng.

So Xu Yourong decided to retreat, hit that high threshold, and strive to enter the sacred realm in the shortest possible time.

Since recorded history, most ascetics who enter the sacred realm need to go through at least hundreds of years of asceticism, such as Old Man Tianji.

Even those true geniuses with outstanding talents need at least more than a hundred years of hard training, such as Biyanghong.

Excluding those records that are too old, the people who have entered the sacred realm the fastest in the past thousand years are probably Zhou Dufu, Chen Xuanba, Emperor Taizong, Su Li, and Wang Po. But whether it was Su Li, Zhou Dufu or Wang Po, they could only see the secret after they were in their forties.

Even Chen Xuanba, who was rumored to be talented enough to shock the stars, would have a chance to cross that threshold when he was thirty years old.

Xu Yourong has the blood of Tianfeng, and is undoubtedly one of the most talented monks in history, but he is not stronger than these legends of the previous generation.

Based on this calculation, even if she is like Chen Xuanba, it will take nearly ten years for her to retreat and break into the sacred realm.

"You said this matter requires a saint to make a decision. What should we do if she can't get out? Nanxi Zhai will have to face this multiple-choice question after all."

Huairen said: "I don't have the wisdom to make a choice, so I will let Nanxi Zhai stay together for ten years, and then I will make a decision after the saint comes out of seclusion."

Chen Changsheng said: "You should know what she would have chosen if she had not retreated at this time."

Huairen said: "Even if the Saint agrees, I will still find a way to prevent the Saint's Peak from becoming the precursor of the state religion's war against the imperial court."

Chen Changsheng said: "Didn't you realize that none of the hundreds of disciples in Nanxi Zhai support your decision?"

Huairen was silent for a while and said, "That's because they are still young and don't know the horror of war."

Chen Changsheng said: "The difference between warlikeness and fear of war is clearly written in Dao Zang. I don't want to repeat it."

Huairen said: "I have expressed Nan Xizhai's attitude very clearly, and I don't want to repeat it again."

Night suddenly fell, and more than ten peaks turned into ink color.

When the negotiation entered the most critical and tense moment, the flower tree was suddenly illuminated by lanterns, and Pingxuan hurried over with several female disciples.

Pingxuan saluted Chen Changsheng and said to Huairen: "Master, there is a message from the mountain saying that the imperial envoy has arrived."

Chen Changsheng's expression was slightly condensed. He did not expect the people from the imperial court to arrive so quickly.

Huairen asked: "Who is the leader of the mission?"

Pingxuan said: "It's the Prime Minister."

Hearing the name of King Xiang, Huairen's expression seemed to remain unchanged, but in fact, his mood became much more relaxed.

She risked irritating Li Gong to forcefully promote the Hezhai issue and endured a lot of pressure. The conversation with Chen Changsheng made her even more exhausted. At this time, the imperial delegation arrived, and it was the newly promoted person who came. The Prime Minister of the Sacred Realm can probably help Nanxi Zhai with a lot of burdens.

Chen Changsheng was a little surprised that he didn't hear Wuxianbi's name.

Huairen asked who was the leader of the mission, but if Wuxianbi was in the mission, a female disciple like Pingxuan who was proficient in world affairs would definitely mention it.

No matter how disgusting Wufenbi's temperament is, she is still one of the few powerful people in the sacred realm on the mainland. If she is not mentioned, it only means that she is not in the mission.

Outside Wenshui City, when Xiao Zhang saw him, Wuxian Bidu was with King Xiang. Where has she gone now?

Then more news came from Qianshanmen.

People from the Changsheng Sect came, as did people from the Muzhe and Wu families, the vice president of Huaiyuan came, and representatives from all the major sects in Tiannan came.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have to go to the mountain to greet you."

Huairen apologized to Chen Changsheng and left the cliff.

Naturally, someone at Nanxi Zhai arranged for Chen Changsheng and his party, led by the purple-robed Taoist nun Huaishu.

This Taoist nun could tell from her appearance that she had an extremely violent temperament, but she remained silent as she led Chen Changsheng and his party.

Given Chen Changsheng's status, Nanxi Zhai naturally had to give up the best and most noble Zhai Fang Mingzhu.

Ye Xiaolian and other disciples were busy organizing the utensils in the studio. Tang Sanliu was talking about how to do it, but he refused to help.

"This courtyard has not been opened for many years, and it is inevitable that it will be a little dusty. Please wait patiently for a while, Your Majesty."

Huaishu said: "Because no pope has visited the Holy Virgin Peak for many years."

Chen Changsheng said: "Please give me some advice."

"The state religion is Taoism, but Taoism is not the state religion. At least Saintess' Peak has never enjoyed the treatment of the state religion. So no matter how the fellow disciples in Kyoto view this matter, no matter how the canon describes the differences back then, after all, Li Gong has never looked down upon us. "

Huaishu looked at him and said, "Now that Li Palace is in danger, we are needed, so you came and wanted to use us. Do you think this is appropriate?"

…

…

Night was coming, and after dinner, Chen Changsheng stood in the courtyard, looking in the direction of Tongjiang River, looking at the faintly visible silver belt, and after a moment of silence he said: "Don't rush the investigation, the first priority now is He Zhai must be stopped. If these three people are still so determined, we can promise not to mention the return."

It has been a long time since we left Wenshui City and arrived at Saintess Peak. The three master uncles of Nanxi Zhai returned and a major event like Hezhai occurred. Li Gong has not received any news. This is something that deserves vigilance. It seems that The sudden death of Taoist Baishi cannot completely solve all problems.

Hu Thirty-Two took the order and left, finding his own way to convey Chen Changsheng's order back to Kyoto and nearby Taoist temples as quickly as possible. And when he came back from the Zhaiyuan, he had already received the latest news. Just half an hour ago, the people who left the palace finally arrived at the foot of the Saintess Peak. It was said that they were urgently sent by Mao Qiuyu.

This news made Chen Changsheng relax a little, but there was one question he still couldn't figure out: Where did Wuwu Bi go?

Tang Thirty-Six also felt strange and said: "That old Taoist nun likes to participate in this kind of excitement, there is no reason to leave halfway."

Chen Changsheng thought about the uneasiness he felt when he was born in front of the stone wall at the top of the mountain. His heart became heavier and he couldn't sit still, so he left the courtyard and walked outside.
