Chapter 2037: Solo Migration

No wonder the pedestrians here have hurried expressions, the atmosphere is tense.

No wonder Zuo Guangshu said it relates to the nearby Taixu Corner Tower!

In today's world, the Taixu Illusion Realm, from the Northern Plains to the Southern Frontier, from the Western Extremes to the Eastern Sea, almost covers the entire present world. It has truly achieved "wherever there are cultivators, all know Taixu Illusion Realm".

One thing alone can explain this:

The participants of Taixu Illusion Realm, also called Taixu Travelers, were later simplified to Travelers. To the extent that it eclipsed the original meaning of the word Traveler.

When people mention Travelers, they no longer think of wandering begging ascetic monks, nor of ordinary passersby, but of the people striving in the Taixu Illusion Realm.

The Buddhist school is indeed the prominent learning of the present world, its influence is in all aspects. That the meaning of a word from the Buddhist school could be silently replaced shows how great the influence of Taixu Illusion Realm is.

This is still only the behavior of the collective unconscious, achieved in a very short time.

Truly in the era of a hundred schools contending, this kind of change in word meaning can represent the struggle for orthodoxy!

However, whether Daoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, military strategy, or Mohism, which school is not an ancient doctrine spanning several great eras? Which one has not experienced a long history? Their influence is not overnight, but accumulated day by day, over ten thousand repetitions of years.

From this angle, Xu Yuan's achievement of "metaphysics" and his great ideal of promoting it as a prominent learning is also not a foolish person's wild talk.

Taixu Illusion Realm has already rapidly entered the lives of extraordinary cultivators, producing a profound influence in this era.

Let alone senior Travelers like Zuo Guangshu, even scions of great families who lack nothing, like Zhong Liyan, also flock to enter Taixu Illusion Realm.

For Taixu Illusion Realm, there are no people without value. Every person who enters Taixu Illusion Realm is a resource for Taixu Illusion Realm. All behaviors of people in Taixu Illusion Realm continuously provide provisions for Taixu Illusion Realm.

The significance of Taixu Illusion Realm is so great that the six great hegemonic countries and various ancient sects are all eagerly opening up passage possibilities for it.

And now...

The Taixu Illusion Realm, claimed to be "absolutely fair, absolutely just, absolutely safe," actually has someone who, due to private interests, adjusts the Taixu Scroll's tasks and mobilizes Traveler resources?

This is absolutely impossible to ignore!

In this instant, Jiang Wang thought of too many things.

Zuo Guangshu's voice continued: "Grandfather wants me to remind you that there will be great changes recently. After you return to Xingyue Plain, no matter what, do not go out."

Jiang Wang raised his head, looking at the sky covered with a layer of gloom, and murmured: "Indeed about to change weather..."

Just in the next moment, that layer of gloom retracted, turning into a belt wrapped around the eyes of a young man wearing black armor, tall and burly. It completely covered both eyes, went around to the back of his head, was tied tight, and hung down in two strips, neither long nor short, like a sash.

And his long hair was tied up with a hair crown inlaid with gold and black gauze holding it.

Among the black armor were red sashes, making it, in the midst of heaviness, hide a few points of vividness.

Holding a painting halberd surrounded by a domineering aura, standing virtually in the high sky, his entire being had the domineering momentum of a tiger perched on a mountaintop.

Precisely the famous gate of Great Chu's Xiang Clan, the contemporary pillar heavenly pride - Xiang Bei!

Jiang Wang's mind moved, his body still in forward motion, his divine soul already manifested the Six Desires Bodhisattva, and he took one step into Xiang Bei's divine soul world. With this one step, heaven and earth immediately changed. Underfoot was not the sea of primordial spirit, but a floating, unsteady array diagram. The array diagram unfolded, turning into a battlefield full of weapons and fighting.

The treasure-like solemn Six Desires Bodhisattva, Jiang Wang, and the majestic Xiang Bei, wearing black armor, met on this battlefield.

Hunting residual flags boiled with fighting will.

Facing this opponent who had defeated him multiple times, he originally still wanted to communicate a few sentences, say some polite words... but Jiang Wang so proactively invaded his divine soul world, then there was nothing to say. He immediately entered a state of fighting to the death.

The world-covering halberd waved, driving mist shadows like flowing currents, and the violent momentum rose again and again.

Facing such a terrible opponent as Jiang Wang, he released himself without reservation. All the self-torment during this period was to be released as the brilliance of this moment.

But Jiang Wang retreated one step, raised his palm to call a halt: "Let's just speak here, don't reveal my whereabouts!"

Xiang Bei stopped the world-covering halberd: "How?"

"Who did you come for?" Jiang Wang asked.

Xiang Bei calmly said: "I came to find Zuo Guangshu, but originally also wanted to contact you through him."

Jiang Wang said: "Contact me for what?"

Xiang Bei lightly lifted the halberd point: "I originally wanted to notify you that I would go to Xingyue Plain to challenge you, hoping you would prepare. Since we met here... why not choose today?"

Since his debut, Jiang Wang had never had a defeated subordinate capable of catching up and challenging him again. This challenge referred to truly having the strength to challenge him, not like Zhong Liyan, who fought with more distance, more ease, and more patterns the more they fought.

Because Jiang Wang's progress speed was always faster than his opponents.

In the Shanhai Realm encounter, Jiang Wang was already in a crushing position against Xiang Bei. Xiang Bei and Taiyin joined forces and had the advantage of a sneak attack, yet he still counter-killed them.

And seeing him again now, he actually still faintly felt a threat.

Of course, from "feels a threat" to "able to be defeated" was still a long way off.

In normal times, Jiang Wang would absolutely not be stingy in granting him a defeat. He habitually excelled at extracting nutrients from various battles and also liked to capture some inspirations he normally couldn't think of in collisions with various heavenly prides. He was very willing to test Xiang Bei's leap!

But not today.

Jiang Wang said: "Now is not the time."

He emphasized again: "In this recent period, I do not want to draw my sword."

Xiang Bei did not ask why, nor did he insist on fighting, just lowered the painting halberd with some regret: "Pity, I still want to see the gap between me and the first Shenlin of the younger generation."

Jiang Wang still remembered their first encounter at the Yellow River Assembly. This person wore black and gold luxurious martial attire, arrogant and ostentatious, looking down on everything in appearance. Today, he had changed into armor, still domineering, but much more restrained.

He had heard that after the Shanhai Realm, he had self-poked out both eyes, abolishing his innate heavy pupils, to seek breaking dependence, smashing shackles, and exploring his infinite possibilities. Now it seemed... he had already succeeded!

His cultivation in the Shenlin Realm was real and without falsehood, and absolutely not the combat power of an ordinary Shenlin.

"Go find Dou Zhao," Jiang Wang seriously suggested: "The title of first Shenlin of the younger generation, he also deserves it. I may not even be able to win against him."

"If there are several 'firsts'..." Xiang Bei put away the painting halberd and rolled up the array diagram: "Then that's the only way."

Both sides exited the divine soul battlefield. In reality, they just exchanged a glance.

Xiang Bei was preparing to leave.

Suddenly, a head poked out from the nearby tavern, short beard, eagle eyes, and a very indignant expression: "You motherfucker, flying so high, not dazzling the eyes?"

It was actually Zhong Liyan!

Jiang Wang had a headache as soon as he saw this fellow, whose mind was smaller than a needle tip, whose flesh was tougher than a wild boar, who was troublesome and enduring. If he wanted to fight with you, he would insist on fighting to the ends of the earth.

Sitting opposite Zhong Liyan and drinking with him was also an acquaintance.

Iron armor, Confucian crown, mismatched eyes, everything that should be discordant on him was strangely harmonious... This otherworldly style was naturally Wu Ling, from the Great Chu's three-thousand-year-old Wu Clan.

He had been softly advising, saying "forget it," "forget it," but his hands hadn't stopped at all.

Xiang Bei held his halberd in the air and turned, somewhat baffled. His eyes were poked blind, what eyes could be dazzling? "You don't stop me!"

Zhong Liyan flung away the non-existent obstruction, jumped out of the tavern window, very majestically took out his heavy sword, and sneered repeatedly: "Early heard you kid broke through to Shenlin. Making such a big show, with great fanfare, isn't it because you know this old man is here drinking and want to challenge this old man? You have some guts. Come on, Grandpa Zhong will give you an opportunity, I'll grant you a defeat right here!"

"Delusional!" Xiang Bei lifted his halberd and left. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he would also become stupid.

So many people were watching!

Zhong Liyan let out a "Heh," and a heavy sword with blazing flames had already chopped at Xiang Bei's path, cutting out a scorch mark in the high sky.

"How can you leave when you want to leave, and come when you want to come, in front of Grandpa Zhong?! Provoke Grandpa and then run, no way!" This sword was clearly light and casual, yet it had such heavy momentum!

Leaving a scorch mark in the sky was not an easy thing.

Compared to Jiang Wang's last encounter with him in the Taixu Illusion Realm, he had obviously become stronger by more than a little bit.

The heavenly prides of this world were indeed none idle, none willing to slack.

Xiang Bei had never been one with a good temper, too lazy to explain whether he had provoked this fellow or not, in an instant his body rose several zhang, he lifted his world-covering halberd, swallowing the sky-filling thief ghost qi, turned back and smashed it down on his head: "Since your bones are itching, today I'll beat you until you call me Grandpa!"

Zuo Guangshu still didn't know that Jiang Wang had already exchanged words with Xiang Bei once. This time he really thought Xiang Bei had come to find Zhong Liyan, couldn't even walk on the road, and watched with great interest from the side.

Jiang Wang didn't join in the excitement. He didn't want to expose his whereabouts, so he pulled Zuo Guangshu's sleeve: "Quickly leave."

"You go first," Zuo Guangshu waved his hand: "I'll watch the excitement."

Jiang Wang was speechless for a moment.

Today's young people change their minds too quickly!

Just now he said he wanted to chat with Big Brother Jiang while walking, chat more sentences! Was this excitement so good to watch?

Jiang Wang reluctantly glared at the battlefield a few times, finally considered exposing his whereabouts, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave. He returned to the crowd and swam alone.

Zhong Liyan and Xiang Bei fought more and more intensely, the battle moving higher and higher, killing until clouds and smoke rolled.

In the tavern, Wu Ling with a composed demeanor poured a cup of wine for himself, held his own carved ivory chopsticks, sipped a mouthful of wine, tasted a chopstick of small dish, and glanced at the fight.

The taste was very good.

What extreme joy is there in life!

In a certain instant, he had a feeling in his heart, lowered his head looking at the street crowd, vaguely seemed to see an impressive back, but used his gaze to carefully search, yet could not find it.

He only pretended to be absent-minded.

He didn't know why, but suddenly thought of his old friend Ge Fei, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.

Speaking of which, since that trip to the Shanhai Realm, his relationship with Ge Fei had become estranged.

He actually didn't mind that after he died in the Shanhai Realm, Ge Fei fled in panic. But he thought Ge Fei himself would mind, since then no letter had come.

Wu Clan's internal affairs were busy, and he also didn't go to contact him.

Friendship between people after growing up doesn't disappear on a specific day, but when you suddenly realize, it already doesn't exist.

Wu Ling decided to find time to go to Yue Country to see his old friend. In life, it was not so easy to encounter people with similar interests.

At this time, he wondered if it was because he also hadn't taken the initiative to contact him, so Ge Fei thought he minded?

Coming to Chu quietly, leaving Chu also without a sound.

Still on the way back to Xingyue Plain, Jiang Wang impatiently contacted Chong Xuan Sheng.

The matter of Xu Zeming really could not be said to be simply heard and done.

Huai Guogong telling him to stay put in Xingyue Plain and try not to go out was considering that he had already left Qi, so there was no need to stir up trouble. It was best to stay out of it.

But the Taixu Illusion Realm had developed to today's world, already sweeping into too many people's lives. The turbulent waves it caused, who could stay out of it?

"This matter of Xu Zeming has big problems, the situation will change!" In Xinghe Pavilion, Du Gu Wudi's tone was heavy, "Haven't you made preparations?"

Zhen Wudi used his carrot-like fingers to rub his fat forehead: "You only know now? Didn't I just remind you last time?"

Du Gu Wudi was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "You said last time that the Taixu Scroll has many more tasks, and some of them are to cover for Xu Zeming?"

"Not obvious enough?" Zhen Wudi retorted.

Obvious what!

Among several thousand tasks, a few tasks to cover for Xu Zeming were sporadically mixed in. And this kind of task must be obscure, on the surface absolutely impossible to have a connection with Xu Zefu.

For example, deliver a ship to Haimen Island.

Transport some goods to Youxia Island.

Such tasks added up, finally causing a certain sea route's blockage and chaos. Xu Zeming then took advantage of this chaos to slip away.

The people who took the tasks were simply executing tasks, but in fact, they had already completed the cover for Xu Zeming.

With such a design, how could one see the problem at a glance?

Unless one was pursuing Xu Zeming, only then would it be possible to make associations from Xu Zeming's escape trajectory. Du Gu Wudi was in Xingyue Plain, without any intelligence, where would the association come from?

Of course, this was thinking from Du Gu Wudi's own perspective.

Starting from Zhen Wudi's brain, this indeed was already very obvious...

Du Gu Wudi complained: "Meaning you already knew about this matter? Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"You should say," Zhen Wudi corrected: "Chong Xuan Sheng, why didn't you say it more straightforwardly?"

"Right! Why didn't you say it more straightforwardly?" Du Gu Wudi said with a matter-of-course appearance.

Zhen Wudi choked for a moment.

The relationship between the two people was so good that his mockery of his intelligence no longer had any harm.

Du Gu Wudi pondered: "I finally know... why Zhang Shulian had to die."

Zhen Wudi thought for a moment, then connected this name with the Wei State's state uncle who was called the head of An Yi's four evils. He had intentionally collected intelligence from Hell No Door, then seen this name.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Tell me."

Du Gu Wudi said: "I previously took on a task to assassinate Zhang Shulian, and in action, I discovered that Wei State and Taixu Sect had secretly cooperated early on. Zhang Shulian was the contact person.

"Wei Tianzi wanted to achieve emerging hegemony in a world pattern that was stable and in an era where the six great hegemonic countries had deep foundations. Xu Yuan Zhi wanted to promote metaphysics in an era where the six great prominent learnings had already become mainstream, and achieve present world prominent learning.

"The mountaintop is already very crowded, latecomers have to make more effort.

"They can be said to have hit it off, there are too many reasons for cooperation!

"But whether for Taixu Sect or for Wei State, this is a dangerous road. Because the existing order must not be challenged.

"This big ship of Taixu Sect is about to capsize... Wei Tianzi chose to jump ship in advance!"
