Chapter 665: Minor Matters and Major Contradictions
The Obsidian Star Orb slowly crossed the West Sea, where Zhongzhou and Dongtu intersected. According to the current speed, it would return to the gate of Mo Shuang Mountain in a dozen minutes.
When leaving the West Sea, everyone on the boat was gazing at the blue land where they had stayed for more than a month, recalling in their hearts the stories of this life on the West Sea, and no one looked happy.
Everyone has their own feelings and emotions in their hearts. Compared to when you leave, it seems that there is only one person missing when you come back, but the truth is definitely not that simple.
"Why are you all so sad?"
Lao Jiang was the first to recover from this confused mood. He looked at the other people in the Obsidian Star Sphere and said with a grin:
“During this trip to the West Sea, I not only learned about the past of the Mohist Immortal Sect, but also learned about the undercurrents of this world. I also witnessed the great battle in the Sea of Bitterness, and also created and destroyed two Dragon Palaces.
When they left, they said they were just looking for their ancestors. They have achieved the goal and even exceeded it. Now when they returned, no one has died.
This is a great thing.
Stop pouting, it looks painful, and don't act like the leader is hopeless."
"Jiang-nii is right."
Sanbao took a deep breath, and the bald elder twisted his beard and said:
"During this trip to the West Sea, things went through twists and turns. We were trapped in desperate situations several times but relied on the concerted efforts of everyone in the sect to get out. Now we can return to the sect together, which is a blessing from heaven.
You really can't ask for more.
Instead of pretending to be worried and thinking about what happened, why don't we discuss what to do after we return to the sect?"
Having said that, Sanbao hesitated for a moment, and finally brought up the topic that no one had been willing to talk about.
He said:
"We have done great things in the West Sea, and the news must have spread back to the East, and even to the world. We know that the cause and effect of the West Sea incident should be attributed to the evil thoughts of the monsters in the Dragon Palace, but other Taoist friends do not know.
The Taofu Court of the Immortal Alliance is also unable to fully disclose the truth due to its many secrets. Now that the two veins of the Dragon Palace have been destroyed, the only people who knew about it that day, besides us, are a group of Bitter Sea Immortals.
From the perspective of fellow Taoists from outside, the evil things happening in the West Sea were caused by us.
I don’t even dare to think about how much more trouble this incident will cause after we return to the East.”
"What are you afraid of, Elder?"
Gu Miao raised his head, hugged his shoulders, and said with a pout:
"Let them say whatever they want. Can they sew up their mouths? They are just talking nonsense. Do they really dare to attack my mountain gate?"
"I don't have the guts to attack the mountain gate, but I am very brave to use this incident to slander the reputation of my sect."
When Sanbao heard what Gu Miao said, he shook his head, sneered, and said:
"You must know that there are more than 200 sects under the Immortal Alliance, big and small, and the thirty-three orthodox sects are all filled. If the lower sects want to come up, there must be a vacant position among the thirty-three sects.
This is not just a matter of fighting for an empty reputation, Xiao Miaoer.
There are huge interests involved.
Before, my Mo Shuang Mountain supplied Mingli Academy and half of the world's magical instruments and treasures. We had an important position and had always been low-key. We also adhered to morality and did not intervene much in the disputes over cultivation, so naturally there were fewer people criticizing us.
But this trip back may not be the case.”
"The worst thing would be to fall into the hands of Wuling Kingdom's Wheel of Revelation Sect."
Liu Chu, who had just returned from the bathroom and was still rubbing her belly, closed her eyes and whispered:
“You youngsters may not know that the Zhuanlun Sect is not as bad as you think. Although they have an unreliable leader, they have maintained the overall situation in Wuling Country in the past.
The monks preached good deeds and did not do anything evil that would anger God or man.
However, why does the Reincarnation Sect have such an embarrassing reputation in the East?
When monks, both big and small, hear this title, they will slander it. Isn't it because a group of sects, both big and small, are secretly trying to bring discredit to the monks?
In recent years, things have become more and more excessive. A large group of independent cultivators have come to the mountain to provoke trouble, not seeking victory, but just to make the already bad reputation even worse, forcing the monks to close themselves off and practice seclusion for most of the year.
What is this picture about?
Isn't it the last position among the thirty-three sects of the Wheel of Revelation Sect?"
The still weak Law Enforcement Elder sneered and leaned back in his seat and said:
"Any sect with a bit of ambition wants to prosper, but the opportunity to become famous overnight is not so easy to find. Sanbao's consideration is mature and prudent, which makes sense.
Although we don't care about these scoundrels, if we allow them to use this incident to tarnish the reputation of our sect and do not respond, the monks of the Zhuanlun Sect will sooner or later fall into the predicament of our Mo Shuang Mountain."
These words made everyone on the boat fall silent.
If a real fight breaks out, the Mo family is not afraid. Although they are few in number, they are elite. If ordinary cultivators from small sects come to them, they can just send a disciple to deal with them.
But most of the problems in this world cannot be solved by fighting.
For example, as the two uncles said, these villains are playing dirty tricks in secret to disgust you, but what can you do? You can catch one or two, but can you give up the development of the sect and fight against these disgusting things every day?
We all come here to practice cultivation, and face and reputation are very important.
If we do nothing to deal with it and allow the scoundrels to smear us, we will end up like the Zhuanlun Sect, and everyone will spit on us, whether human or dog. So why bother?
The most important thing is that it would be fine if it was just empty talk.
Mo Shuangshan has a very good reputation in the cultivation circle and is not afraid of ordinary slander.
Of course, this time, the incident in the West Sea was indeed a big scapegoat that could not be shaken off. This was equivalent to handing the handle to those who had ulterior motives. If I didn't hype it up, I would be sorry for God's mercy.
"This mountain god thinks you might as well close the door."
The mountain guardian who was holding the sleeping Shi Yan thought for a moment and said:
"The matter of the West Sea cannot be explained clearly unless you reveal the truth.
But that would mean a complete break with the Immortal Alliance, and the two people on Tongtian Mountain would not allow it. Once the world knows that Ku Mu Realm is going to perish, let alone the cultivators, the people's lives will definitely be in chaos.
Besides, if I had not seen what happened in the West Sea with my own eyes, I would not believe it even if you told me the truth.
It's really horrifying.
Since I can't explain it clearly, I won't explain it. Outsiders can say whatever they want. Isn't it better for you to just live your own life behind closed doors?"
"Is there anything we need to discuss about this?"
Boss Jiang, who had been silent, raised his head and said:
"The Sin Abyss will erupt in ten years at most. How can we care about those guys who only know how to talk? We can't even escape in time, why should we care about them?
If you ask me, the two uncles are trapped in old thinking. There are many things to do after returning to the mountain, but considering fame is definitely not among them.
After I go back, I will pass on the method of making the star array taught by the headmaster to my two uncles and my master. The most important thing next is to quickly remake the Zhoutian Star Plate.
Afterwards, I, Mo Shuangshan, and the many world employees under my command will use the Zhoutian Star Plate to search for and explore the secret realm of the spiritual world where there is still hope.
Help my ability of traveling across time and space to grow faster.
I also want to look for the giants in the sea of stars, and by the way, take some time to go to the MAGA world to find the heart of the world and purify it.
And then find a way to settle the old grudges in Ku Mu Realm.
We also need to release those secret realms in the spiritual world that have been drained of spiritual energy by the Bitter Wood Realm. With so much work to do, I wish everyone in Mo Shuang Mountain had eight hands. How can we have the energy to compete with those guys?
The sky is falling, everyone.
Survival is the most important thing, so let's not consider reputation for the time being, right?"
"Well, that makes sense."
Sanbao nodded, stroked the Mediterranean-style head, smiled, and said:
"It seems that I was wrong."
"It's not that he's wrong. Sanbao's doubts do make some sense."
Liu Chu shook his head and talked about another thing:
"The situation is different now. We now have rivals. On the surface, we have offended Kunlun Sect because of Fang Qingyun's incident, and secretly, we have the Wanshou Sect because of Liu Hui and Niu Sansheng's incident.
Not to mention, we still have two components of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the spiritual treasure of Qihuang Valley, in our hands. That Yin Fugong has evil ambitions and is trying to harm the leader in the West Sea.
If we think about it this way, these three major sects all have reasons and motives to trip us up and make trouble for us.
Junior Brother Jiang wants to do great things with his heart, and we, the disciples of the Mohist School , are not the type to take the initiative to cause trouble, but we are afraid that the tree will want to be quiet but the wind will not stop. If we don't respond, we will allow them to instigate some things.
In the future, you will not be able to handle the big things well, and you will have to distract yourself from dealing with such trivial matters. Then, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to move forward."
"Master uncle is right."
Kisaragi, who was driving the Obsidian Star Orb, also turned around and said:
"Boss, it's only a matter of time before a thief can steal. How can you be on guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
"I think it's better to pick one and destroy the clan! Just like we destroyed the two dragon palaces in the West Sea."
Gu Miao excitedly raised his hand, made a downward cutting motion, and said:
"Let's kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and see who dares to do bad things in secret."
"Now is not the time."
Old Jiang was very satisfied with Gu Miao's proposal, his eyes were full of praise, but he still waved his hand and said:
“Thunderous means are good, but we have to choose the right time. Now everyone has just returned from the West Sea and is exhausted. We should recuperate for a while.
I'll make some careful plans after I find that iron world.
Pick one out and kill it, to deter the rats jumping around, and at the same time, to gather the spirit world in hand. Fellow disciples, don't worry too much about what will happen next. I expect that something will happen when we hold the succession ceremony of the headmaster in a few days.
I have arranged it.
By then, strong reinforcements will arrive, and they will surely scare those troublemakers to death, giving us some quiet time."
At this point, Boss Jiang stood up, opened his arms in front of everyone, and concluded:
"So let's summarize Mo Shuangshan's future course of action. The next focus is not in the Bitter Wood Realm, but outside the world.
Survival and death does not depend on one world, but on the myriad of stars.
The Bitterwood Realm is destined to be our last battle, and that is the inevitable outcome. Before that, we must strengthen ourselves as much as possible. We must uphold the will of the great man five hundred years ago and explore deeper into the starry sea.
Look for the worlds and creatures threatened by the Wild Lord, the remnants of civilization that survived the first wave of great destruction, and the allies with whom we were born to stand.
We must rally them under our banner, as our forefathers did five hundred years ago.
Every day, our power grows.
Every day, there is a little more hope.
We may not be able to confront the Lord of the Wilds head-on, who represents the destruction of the stars and the universe and the fear of death of all things, but we can at least try our best to preserve the fire under its tyranny, just like our ancestors did.
Find a rear base that can shelter us in exile, gather people for ten years, and learn lessons for ten years. As long as we are still here, we will always find a way to fight against and defeat the Lord of the Wasteland.
Just like our friends in the Red Moon Realm and the Wasteland, we grit our teeth and persevere until a turning point comes.
Only those who are self-reliant can be helped by God! "
"Pa pa pa"
After Lao Jiang finished speaking, Gu Miao and Qian Duo applauded at the same time, which was exactly the normal reaction of employees after the leader finished speaking. Liu Chu and San Bao looked at each other and nodded .
They also agreed with Lao Jiang's remarks, not to mention Shi Yan, who was about to become the leader.
This is the idea of her dearest little brother, how can she not support it?
"Everyone, we're home."
Kisaragi called out.
Lao Jiang and his group looked up and through the porthole in front of them they could see the sea of clouds and sky in the distance, as well as the Mo Shuang Mountain, which was wrapped in it and stood on the earth's veins.
Even though I was only away for over a month.
But looking at this place that can be called "home" now, everyone feels that everything has changed .
"Finally home."
Gu Miao stretched lazily, and Old Jiang also grinned and flicked on Xiao Miao'er's already majestic dragon horns. Amid her screams, Boss Jiang laughed and said:
"Well, now that I'm home, my heart is at peace."
"Take a good rest for a few days, and then set off again."
