Cosmos God Cult, Cosmos Tower, Yin Yang Hall.
The interior of the Yin Yang Hall was quiet, only the sound of the cold wind blowing into the long corridor and the swaying of the candlelight could be heard. On both sides of the long corridor, between the stone pillars, there was a Cosmos God Cult yellow-robed Enforcer standing quietly at the side.
These Enforcers were the Cosmos God Cult's most elite cultivators, and also the fanatics who worshipped Chang Yuan the most. Their numbers were small, less than fifty, but they were the Cosmos God Cult's most powerful core force.
In the past, the Cosmos God Cult was divided between the white-robed Enforcers led by Chang Kun and the black-robed Enforcers led by Xie Tianyuan. Although the yellow-robed Enforcers were powerful, due to their small numbers, the black-robed Enforcers and the black-robed Enforcers did not put the yellow-robed Enforcers in their eyes.
But after the Autumn Moon Valley tragedy, the Cosmos God Cult suffered an unprecedented blow. Most of the elite Enforcers from the black-robed Enforcers were dead, and only the yellow-robed Enforcers remained unscathed. Their strength was preserved, and in an instant, the Cosmos God Cult was the strongest.
At this time, not to mention the usually arrogant and domineering black-robed and white-robed Enforcers, even Chang Yuan and Xie Tianyuan were respectful when they saw the yellow-robed Enforcers, not daring to offend them.
Many people thought that the strength of a cultivator came from their own strength, but what many people did not understand was that a person's strength could only conquer a group of people around him, and not more; no matter how strong a person was, he could only conquer for a moment, not for a lifetime.
Chang Yuan was indeed the most powerful cultivator in the history of Daqi, but even a powerful cultivator like him knew that it was impossible to build an empire as vast as Daqi with his strength alone.
He needed a group of followers by his side, and these followers had to be strong. These strong followers also needed to have their own followers. Only then would he be able to build an empire that belonged to him.
The founding Emperor of Daqi created an unprecedentedly large empire, and he, Chang Yuan, built an unprecedentedly powerful cultivation empire on the foundation of this empire: Cosmos God Cult!
Cosmos God Cult was like the shadow of the Daqi Empire, growing stronger as it grew stronger, declining as it grew stronger, and now it was showing an unprecedented decline.
Even Chang Kun and Xie Tianyuan, who fought fiercely on normal days, knew at this moment that they had committed a monstrous sin, bringing disaster to Cosmos God Cult!
At this moment, the black-robed Head Officiant and the white-robed Head Officiant were kneeling in front of the huge door of the Yin Yang Hall in the Universal Tower. One of them was facing the Yang Gate, which was engraved with a sun, while the other was facing the Yin Gate, which was engraved with two moons. They were less than ten meters apart, but it was as if they could not see each other. They just stared ahead, kneeling on the ground, and waited motionlessly.
God, Chang Yuan Temple. When Cult Temple, the God God Hall, they God Temple, and when God Temple Temple, Temple, and God Temple Temple, and God Temple Yang Temple Temple, and Yang Yang Temple.
Like what they said, Chang Yuan was the 'Old Ancestor', the 'Patriarch' of God Temple. They couldn't wait to avoid this' Old Ancestor ', so who would want to provoke him?
But now, they couldn't hide even if they wanted to, because if one of them hid, the other party would definitely complain about the other party in front of the "Elder Ancestor".
Therefore, both of them came to the Yin Yang Hall at the same time, even if they had to risk the Old Ancestor's punishment, they had to wake the Old Ancestor up.
However, the two of them had been kneeling here for half a day. Even when the Longevity Lantern and Immemorial Bell, which were used to wake the Old Ancestor up, were lit and sounded, the Yin Yang Hall's doors did not open.
Chang Kun became more and more diffident as he waited. He couldn't help shouting, "Old Ancestor, God Temple is in danger, please come out and turn the tide!"
Xie Tianyuan, who was not far away, glanced at Chang Kun. He sneered and thought to himself, 'Young people can't keep their cool after all.'
But Xie Tianyuan also thought to himself, 'Usually, Chang Yuan would come out of seclusion when the Longevity Lantern or Immemorial Bell was lit or sounded. But today … why didn't the Old Ancestor do anything?
Could it be that the Old Ancestor is determined to teach them a lesson? '
Xie Tianyuan thought quickly. The more he thought, the more uncertain he became. The more he thought, the colder his heart became. The more he thought about it, the lower he crouched.
At this time, Chang Kun also glanced at Xie Tianyuan from the corner of his eye. He was secretly disdainful of Xie Tianyuan's lowliness.
Just as the two of them were secretly despising each other, the Imperial Preceptor, Chang Yuan, who they were bitterly waiting for, was standing on a cliff in the Autumn Moon Valley on the outskirts of the capital, quietly gazing at the destroyed valley. Beside him stood a one-armed man. It was the dispirited Qin Shousheng.
Qin Shousheng looked at Imperial Preceptor Chang Yuan's back in awe. He wanted to say something but hesitated for a while. Finally, he gathered his courage and asked, "Imperial Preceptor, can you really save me?"
Chang Yuan tilted his head slightly. His smile was very gentle. He didn't put on an arrogant air. Instead, he was like a gentle and refined old man. "You should ask yourself this question.
Why do you want to commit suicide? "
Qin Shousheng closed his eyes and said with a pained expression, "My birth was a mistake!
My life is a mistake!
There are two Taoties living in my body. Even though one escaped in this battle, I can feel that it wants to come back. Moreover, it wants to find the right opportunity to eat me and the other Taotie in my body.
Once I am eaten by it, then … it will become a real taotie. At that time, no one will be able to control it! "
Chang Yuan said indifferently, "Oh?
So you want to commit suicide?
You think that committing suicide can solve all of this? "
Qin Shousheng said, "If it was just me, I naturally wouldn't be able to do it. But since I met Imperial Preceptor, he must have a way!
Isn't this the reason why Imperial Preceptor found me? "
Chang Yuan smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "There was once a person who thought that he had achieved great success and founded a sect. Then, he developed this sect into a very, very big sect.
But very soon, he found that trouble came.
Because this sect was too big, there were too many things that needed to be managed. These trivial matters made him unable to focus on cultivation, and even more annoying, so he divided these matters into two, throwing one to his capable disciples, and the other to his children. "
"He originally thought that these disciples and children would be able to share these matters well. But he didn't expect that in the long process of seeking immortality, he found that the sect he founded was becoming more and more out of his control."
At this time, Qin Shousheng seemed to have forgotten his own question. He listened attentively and couldn't help but interject, "Can't he just change those disobedient people?"
Chang Yuan seemed to be very patient. He smiled slightly and said, "This person thought the same way at the beginning, and did the same thing.
But when he found that after changing these people, the situation only improved for a while. Very soon, things became the same as before. They were hostile to each other, fighting each other for power and profit. This person had no choice but to change them again.
This time, this person personally took charge of these matters, but this person found that things had become even worse. "
Qin Shousheng was puzzled. "He held great power and his words carried enormous weight. Could it be that there was still someone who couldn't get along with him?"
Chang Yuan smiled and said, "In this world, no one can truly keep their words, and no one can do everything as they wish.
This person quickly found that when he held great power, there were more people who were afraid of him and more people who opposed him. He fell into endless battles and personally did a few things that he regretted greatly.
The seed of hatred was deeply planted at that moment, and now it has grown into a towering tree! "
Qin Shousheng said, "Then why didn't you cut the weeds and eliminate the roots earlier?"
Chang Yuan asked in reply, "Then why didn't you dig out the Taotie in your body with your own hands earlier?"
Qin Shousheng smiled bitterly and said, "If I had done it myself, I would have died on the spot at that time. It's too late to react now."
Chang Yuan nodded and sighed. "Yes, this person thought the same as you at that time!
Things are different, but the logic is the same!
Taotie is a collection of desires. As long as there are humans in this world, there will be desires. As long as desires exist, Taotie will live forever! "
