Three Enclosures and Four Symbols

Chapter 165 Talking on Paper, Hurting Each Other

To save Yu Wei, it wasn't difficult. He had many ways, and none would endanger Yu Wei's life. But the problem lay in how much Ji Ning's fate would change if Yu Wei were saved.

He didn't know how much of a storm his small act as a butterfly would cause in the future. If Yu Wei lived and Ji Ning never stepped onto the ultimate sword path, that would be a huge joke.

Although the probability was small, it wasn't impossible. So, to some extent, Jiang Xuan pitied Yu Wei's fate, but if he had to decide Yu Wei's fate, he would still choose to let her die, at least to "die" in front of Ji Ning.

"To substitute one thing for another, to deceive the heavens and cross the sea... I don't have that ability without my true body."

Only the true body could share power. Apart from the true body, whether it was the second primordial spirit incarnation or the true body incarnation, they were all at the level of Celestial Gods and Celestials. Although strong, they couldn't be considered top-notch in the Three Realms. There were still Dao Ancestors suppressing them.

So, to substitute one thing for another, to deceive the heavens and cross the sea, it was definitely impossible to do it now. Either wait for the return of the true body, or wait for the strength of these incarnations to improve.

"However… it's not entirely without a solution."

Jiang Xuan's thoughts could be completely transmitted to the true body, but their realms were not high enough. Although they were of different bodies but with one mind, they still needed time across the vast chaos.

"Go and sit next to Yan Wang," the Xia Emperor instructed.

The Xia Emperor's voice also made Jiang Xuan temporarily put aside these thoughts. Obviously, the Xia Emperor also knew about the relationship between Ji Ning and Yu Chi Xiyue. He had been in charge of the Great Xia for countless years, so how many things could escape his eyes on the vast land?

Ji Ning and Yu Chi Xiyue seemed to be hiding it well, but for the Xia Emperor, it was by no means a secret.

"Yes." Yu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Facing so many top experts, she was extremely nervous. She had been worried for a long time before finally waiting for the Xia Emperor's words.

"This little girl has a lot on her mind." After Yu Wei left, Lü Dongbin shook his head and smiled. It had to be said that his eyesight was indeed amazing. Now they were all in a self-sealed divine state, but relying on eyesight alone, he could see Yu Wei's worries.

"Who doesn't have some secrets in their heart?" Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

Lü Dongbin laughed loudly when he heard this, raised his wine pot, and said to Jiang Xuan, "Tai Xuan understands me, haha!"

Jiang Xuan's words coincided with his thoughts, and it also showed that Jiang Xuan had seen that the little girl Yu Wei had a lot on her mind, but neither of them had pointed it out.

"Donghua, you, the armchair strategist and great lover, have finally found a confidant." The Xia Emperor teased the two of them.

Lü Dongbin and Jiang Xuan were saying nice things here, acting like they were pointing out the country and knowing everything about love in the world, but they all knew that these two people were single!

Jiang Xuan was better, after all, he was still young, but Lü Dongbin didn't know how many years he had been single. He usually liked to match people up and be a matchmaker, but he had always been single.

"Xia Mang, you…" Lü Dongbin glared angrily, but couldn't find a reason to refute, and could only sigh, "The spectator sees more than the player, don't you even understand this?"

"Xia Emperor, it's okay to tease Daoist Brother Donghua, but please don't include me." Jiang Xuan smiled helplessly. To think that he, a dignified cheat player, was being teased for being single. You know, he was very experienced in other worlds!

Even he himself… at least he had formed a Daoist couple in the Heart Demon World, so how could he be compared to the old bachelor Lü Dongbin?

"Tai Xuan, even you!" Lü Dongbin was deeply hurt. He thought he was a confidant, but who would have thought that he would be sold out the next moment.

"Alas… forget it, I've made a bad friend!"

"Hahaha…"

The other True Immortals also laughed. Among the Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals, there were not many who could be as free and easy as Lü Dongbin and Jiang Xuan. This scene was also rare to see.

Jiang Xuan and Lü Dongbin joked a few times, and then looked at the competition in the Landscape Painting again. With only one month left, those who had hidden their strength were doing their best to explode. Now there were many wonderful duels, but the remaining geniuses were getting fewer and fewer.

More than 100,000 people, in nearly a year, only less than 1,000 people were left. Even those who gave up their qualifications, only 1,000 or 2,000 people could leave the Landscape Painting alive. Now the number of deaths had exceeded 100,000.

It was a cruel competition, but this was also the path they chose. From the moment they came to participate in the Immortal Destiny Conference, they should have expected this day.

"The results are out!"

When the one-year period expired, the Xia Emperor waved his hand, and all the myriad象 True Persons returned to the void in front of the Tianmang Hall. The eighty people with the most tokens passed directly, while the remaining survivors fought each other and determined sixteen more people.

These ninety-six people were the cultivators who entered the second round of this Immortal Destiny Conference, and they could basically be said to be the most powerful ninety-six Myriad象 True Persons in the Great Xia for three hundred years.

"Hey, Tai Xuan, I heard that you also participated in the royal family competition of the Tianyu Great World, and made a lot of interesting things happen?" Lü Dongbin looked at the high-spirited ninety-six people and couldn't help but speak. He seemed to be asking, but in reality, he had already grasped Jiang Xuan's information.

After all, Jiang Xuan had a great reputation in the Three Realms in the past ten years. Along with it, there were also the embarrassing things he had made. Although most creatures didn't know the details, obviously, Lü Dongbin was not among them.

Jiang Xuan was also a little speechless when he heard this. His old embarrassing things were also a whim, imitating a "well-behaved and pure" character. Who would have thought that it would now become a sharp knife for Lü Dongbin to tease him?

This guy was definitely retaliating for selling him out just now!

"That matter… speaking of which, my incarnation in the Shennong Dojo recently refined a kind of elixir that is also effective for True Immortals. After this Immortal Destiny Conference is over, Daoist Brother Donghua, would you dare to go and try it with me?" Jiang Xuan seemed "unintentional", but was full of provocation, causing the True Immortals present to be stunned, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha… I agree with this matter. Donghua, don't run away, that would damage your reputation as Lü Chunyang!"

"Amitabha, Emperor Donghua's reputation is far-reaching. In this world, apart from the high and mighty Dao Ancestors, he probably won't be afraid of anyone else."

"You can't say that. Our Lü Chunyang considers Tai Xuan as his confidant. How can Tai Xuan use 'dare' to invite Donghua? In my opinion, even if you don't say it, Donghua is willing to go with you."



Lü Dongbin's eyes widened. These people were all the kind who didn't mind watching the fun, and even the old good man of Buddhism, Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, had a gloating look on his face, which was really beyond his expectations.

Lü Dongbin looked at Jiang Xuan with resentment in his eyes, and said quietly, "As expected of the person who destroyed the entire royal family competition with his own strength back then. Your thick skin is something I can't compare to…"

Jiang Xuan looked calm, with a smile on his face, and accepted Lü Dongbin's "praise" calmly. If he could be killed with his eyes, he would have died a million times during the royal family competition. How could it be Lü Dongbin's turn?

Although Jiang Xuan and the others were having a good time, in reality, countless creatures below could not see or hear them. After all, the Xia Emperor still had to talk to the ninety-six people who passed the first round about the rules of the second round. If they saw these True Immortal-level people teasing each other here, it would also damage the dignity of his Great Xia Emperor.

Before long, the Xia Emperor explained the rules, bestowed treasures, and also let the waiter continue to preside over the competition. If it weren't for the fact that even the Dao Ancestor was paying attention this time, he might not even have shown his second primordial spirit.

"The Dao Ancestor wants to accept disciples, no wonder Xia Mang is so attentive. No wonder he is the most loved by the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor. Di Hao, you have to learn more from your senior brother in this regard." Lü Dongbin chatted while drinking wine.

The Great Xia World was considered to have the strongest luck in the Crimsonbright Realm, and the Xia Emperor also understood the Crimsonbright Dao Ancestor's thoughts the most, which also led him to become the most loved disciple of the Crimsonbright Dao Ancestor.

"Donghua, can't your mouth just spare my life?" True Immortal Di Hao said with a wry smile. Although he also controlled a Great World, in terms of luck, he was indeed not as good as the Great Xia World.

As for the Xia Emperor, he was from an ancient royal family, with the Xia Clan behind him, and Dao Ancestor Yinglong, his brother of life and death. His master was also Dao Ancestor Crimsonbright, so how could he compare with the Xia Emperor?

"Forget it, forget it, let's not mention it." Lü Dongbin smiled, "This little guy Beiming is quite capable. He broke through twice in the Landscape Painting. The ranking I chose is not high or low, so it's a bit uncertain."

In the Landscape Painting, Ji Ning broke through twice, once when the *Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram* reached the twelfth level, comparable to the Perfect Myriad象 level Godfiend, and the second time when his insights into the sword path broke through, entering the realm of "Sword Light Like Silk", surpassing the Great Dao Domain, making his strength truly step into the top level of the Immortal Destiny Conference.

"With his current strength, entering the top twelve is no problem. After that, it depends on his luck." True Immortal Di Hao said with a smile. Although they had sealed their divine abilities, they had previously understood the strength of these geniuses. Ji Ning had broken through twice in a row, but his strength had not yet reached the point where he could win the first place.

"That's right, it's impossible for him to break through a third or fourth time in one Immortal Destiny Conference, right…" Lü Dongbin took a sip of immortal wine, and it was obvious that he had not realized the seriousness of the matter.

It wasn't until Ji Ning won all the way and broke into the top twelve that Lü Dongbin finally became a little anxious. Anyone could see that Ji Ning's strength was still getting stronger. Now, just in terms of attack, he was firmly in the first place among the top twelve!

Unless he made a major mistake, the probability of entering the top three was also very high.

"This Shao Yanxuan is too disappointing. I was hoping for Beiming to make a mistake, not for you to make a mistake!"

In the match of twelve into six, Ji Ning met the genius of the Shao Yan Clan, but unfortunately, the other party lost his composure and made mistakes repeatedly. Lü Dongbin didn't see the scene of Ji Ning performing abnormally, but instead saw a Shao Yanxuan whose strength was completely inconsistent with his performance.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the opponents in the six into three are all strong. Ji Ning may not be able to win." Lü Dongbin muttered. The six into three was his last chance. If Ji Ning won, then he would be considered to have lost, at least, he would have to pay out five pure yang-level treasures!
