Chapter 1 The Murky World

In the murky world, undercurrents surged. The most famous king of betrayals in the history of China was quietly sharpening his dagger.

Ready at any moment to give the kind and respectable Great Venerable of the Murky World a ruthless stab in the lower back.

Wei Yuan, on the other hand, was in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, cracking his knuckles, thinking about today's dinner, and trying to figure out how to borrow a sword from Emperor Jun to facilitate the final battle. The residual aftermath of the South Sea battle had finally been smoothed out, and everything had returned to calm.

The Fire God Zhurong slowly walked out, expressing his regard for the Mountain God of Buzhou, the Water God Gonggong, and the Kunlun Lu Wu.

Then he noticed Jue, who was dressed in white.

Recalling what his wife had said, gratitude appeared on Zhurong's face, and he took the initiative to thank her, saying, "Was it you who helped me?"

The Lord of Guixu was stunned.

He subconsciously looked at the white-clothed girl beside him, his right hand clenching subtly.

"No way?"

"Is there even credit for that?"

The majestic and cold-looking Overlord of Guixu's composure wavered—this time, he had come out to purchase goods, but now, not only had he failed to bring back a single treasure, but he had even thrown away the purple-gold bell he used for self-defense. If things continued like this, would he, the dignified Overlord of Guixu, end up owing his subordinates money?!

Humiliation!

What utter humiliation!

Jue was also a little dazed. Zhurong said, "If it hadn't been for you to deal with the backup plans of [Truth] and the [Great Venerable]..."

"Not only would my wife have... even I, I'm afraid, would have found it difficult to escape unscathed."

At that time, when he rushed back to see his wife, he was already in a state close to exhaustion. The Dao Fruit he had lent out had just returned to his hand, and he had not completely recovered his power. Moreover, the Great Venerable of the Murky World had previously relied on the [Truth] Dao Fruit to leave a backup plan on his wife.

If he had been struck by his wife, who had been interfered with and strengthened by the murky energy, in his then-current state...

At the very least, he would have been severely injured.

At that time, not only would the [Truth] Dao Fruit be lost, but even his own [Nirvana] would probably fall into the hands of the Murky World.

The Lord of Guixu's face showed surprise again, and he said, "...The Truth Dao Fruit, the Great Venerable's backup plan?"

He looked at the girl in white, wearing a white dress, with a cinnabar mark between her eyebrows and a harmless expression, with suspicion.

He seemed unable to believe that this was something his subordinate had done.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he slowly opened his mouth, his voice calm, "In other words, this subordinate of mine, the Pixiu guardian, participated in the battle against the Great Venerable and Truth?"

Zhurong nodded and said, "If it weren't for her, not only would I have been severely injured."

"Even [Truth] might have made a comeback."

The look in the Lord of Guixu's eyes was astonished, and he said in a deep voice:

"In other words, [Truth], one of the ten peaks of the Murky World, has fallen?"

Zhurong glanced at the Lord of Guixu. Although their positions were somewhat conflicting and contradictory, there was no doubt that this Overlord of Guixu was also a member of the Clear World. In balancing the Murky World, the Great Rift of the East Sea, Guixu, had an irreplaceable important value and role. The struggles between them were usually insignificant, but the results of the battle against the Murky World should also be made public, so he nodded and said:

"That's right."

"And it's related to my subordinate?"

"Indeed."

Jue's eyes were blank, not knowing why.

However, when the Overlord of Guixu's gaze swept over, her eyes were empty, instead showing a profound and immeasurable appearance.

The Lord of Guixu slowly nodded, as if in thought.

...

At this moment, Shi Yi was watching the white-haired Wa Huang. Xing Tian had already arrived and was chatting happily with Da Yi.

The Great Sun Golden Crow was pale and cold, coughing non-stop. Nv Chou, who had previously taken action against the people of the Murky World, had already left. According to her, she had been staying in the South Sea for such a long time that she was already familiar with it, and now, a full thousands of years had passed since her era.

The outside world had undergone earth-shattering changes.

She didn't plan to leave in a short time.

Xing Tian was chatting with Da Yi, and pulled Jing Wei over, saying, "This is my boss's child. I'm taking her back to the human world this time, and I'll also set up a small shop for her at the Zhenyao Museum, open a pet store, raise some birds, potted plants, and the like. She can also learn some of the medical skills of later generations from Bai Suzhen over there."

"Huh?"

"What are you saying?"

"Proof of identity?"

Xing Tian had a "are you kidding me" expression, and then he picked his ear with his little radish-thick finger.

He said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Isn't there Zhang Ruosu, the old Daoist?"

"Hey, what do you mean, we're not the same as Wei Yuan, we don't have as good a relationship with him?"

"I, Xing Tian, am here."

"Hahaha, I'm personally taking Jing Wei to Longhu Mountain to beg and plead. I don't believe that old Daoist Zhang Ruosu won't do it for me..."

Da Yi looked helpless.

Xing Tian yawned again and said, "Speaking of which, that little fellow who looks like Zhu Jiuyin, named Zhuge Wolong..."

"You were sent here just to provide support?"

Da Yi glanced at Xing Tian in surprise. Xing Tian said triumphantly, "Don't look at me like that."

"I'm a civil official, a civil official, understand?"

"I can definitely guess this kind of thing."

"Besides, that kid has a temperament too much like Zhu Jiuyin. Who knows how many twists and turns he has in his stomach. If he wasted so much effort to send you out just to support this place, it would be the biggest waste for those guys."

Xing Tian gave an example: "Like Zhu Jiuyin."

"If that guy bullies Wei Yuan, he definitely won't just bully him."

"He'll also mix in training, conversation, and squeeze out the remaining value, demanding that he cook so many meals together."

So, there was a vivid example.

Da Yi understood and smiled, "...Yes."

"Mr. Wolong asked me to collect a living turbid qi demon and bring it back to the research center in Chaoge City."

"Chaoge City? Research center?"

Xing Tian was suspicious: "What are they going to do?"

Da Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Mr. Wolong just said that all living beings have their own duties. Perhaps the individual combat power of the human race cannot reach the level of gods, but how many living beings have reached that level throughout history?"

"Instead of using various forces for fighting and killing."

"It's better to use them for production and research."

"Mortals like Liang also have their merits."

Xing Tian's mouth twitched: "I don't know if he's being humble or arrogant with that sentence."

But when he thought about it, that gentle smiling teenager directly transformed the Mo family's mechanical arts into wooden oxen and flowing horses to transport food. Compared to other top strategists, that teenager's talent for logistics and troop expansion might be even more terrifying. Xing Tian stretched out his hand and rubbed his head.

Then he raised his left hand and pressed down on his right hand.

He stopped his right hand's movement to pull his head off and perform a powerful kick.

Causing the mouth on his stomach to click its tongue.

Xing Tian's mouth twitched, pretending that nothing had happened, and said, "In other words, that kid plans to study turbid world demons?"

Da Yi said, "The human race is a race of creation. As long as there is something that can be studied, a trapped turbid world demon can be completely analyzed after a long time. Then, in addition to the innate eight trigrams and Qimen Dunjia, a new category of spells specifically targeting turbid world demons can be developed in reverse."

Xing Tian gasped.

Then Xing Tian 2.0's stomach also gasped.

Xing Tian slapped it on the mouth: "Don't suck in cold air, if you suck in cold air again, I'll have to squat in the outhouse with wind in my stomach when I get back."

Then he looked at Da Yi: "Who can do such a thing? Could it be Fuxi?"

Fuxi quietly pricked up his ears.

He coughed, pretending nothing was wrong.

A helpless look appeared on Da Yi's gentle and shy face, and he repeated: "Although Liang is not talented..."

"Okay, I get it!"

"Enough!"

"Stop!"

Xing Tian stretched out his hand, stopping Da Yi from repeating that sentence.

Changing the subject:

"So, how do you trap turbid world demons?"

"Although those guys are not difficult to defeat, most of them directly collapse into flesh and blood after being killed, turning into turbid air and dissipating cleanly, and turbid air cannot be trapped."

Da Yi said, "He said that he has no way, but someone knows how to do it."

Xing Tian and Da Yi's gazes fell on the white-haired, red-eyed, curly-haired figure over there at the same time.

Bai Ze shivered a few times, stiffly raised his head, and said, "Wh-what are you going to do?"

Da Yi said, "...Mr. Wolong said that he originally noticed that you were missing, but then he thought about it."

"You're needed for this matter anyway."

"And if you were asked to actively cross such a long distance to work overtime, you would definitely not be happy."

"It's better to let you run out first, just treat it as a distraction, away from the human world and actively come here, and then work overtime."

"You will be very happy."

Bai Ze was stunned: "........."

"B-but, but..."

He subconsciously glanced at Fuxi and said, "But, He shouldn't have noticed my matter."

Da Yi's expression showed emotion and admiration, and he said slowly: "The gentleman said that this era is different from his era, and his own strength is too weak, so in order to prevent his own memory and soul from being affected, he will back up a copy of his cognition with magic every three hours, often comparing it, and looking at the information in his mind from a俯瞰 perspective."

"In this way, any situation can be detected within a controllable range and time."

"He noticed your problem as soon as he compared it."

"He also hopes that that gentleman can treat the paper employees of the museum well."

Fuxi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Tsk..."

The Leize Dragon God turned his head in a daze.

Damn it, you clicked your tongue, right? Damn it, what did you want to do?

Damn it, you're really a scumbag.

Bai Ze was even more stunned to the point of vomiting blood—actively backing up cognition, which is equivalent to routinely stripping the soul, what a ruthless person, what a workaholic, can do such a thing, and what a cautious personality, and a arrogant genius, would not even believe his own cognition and memory?

A genius who is guarding against his own cognition.

I and him, really don't get along!

Bai Ze immediately reacted. Why should he honestly listen to whatever the Marquis of Wu said just because he said a fart? Where in the world is there such a simple principle?

"I don't..."

A brocade pouch was handed over.

Da Yi said strangely: "He said, Bai Ze, you should look at the contents of the brocade pouch before deciding."

"Hmph, no matter what it is, I won't..."

Bai Ze opened the brocade pouch casually.

He saw a stack of thick photo albums, all of which were of big sisters with white hair, red eyes, and a decadent style.

The smile on Bai Ze's face froze.

He swished and put the things away, and then crushed and annihilated them expressionlessly. Bai Ze immediately said:

"Sorry, I admit that I was a little loud just now!"

"I am very willing to cooperate and help the human world capture living turbid world gods and demons and then bring them back for research!"

Da Yi said, "Mr. Wolong said that if you agree, any wish you have can be fulfilled after you go back."

"You can have a whole room with the most comfortable equipment, the best gaming equipment, and endless snacks and comic books."

The corner of Bai Ze's mouth twitched.

Damn it, this guy, it's hard to refuse!

Just as Zhao Gongming was about to speak, the Great Sun Golden Crow said, "With your strength, you don't have to do such a thing, cough cough..." The Great Sun Golden Crow stared at Da Yi in front of him with his double pupils, and was silent for a long time, or perhaps it was because of this near-death experience, or perhaps it was because the turbid world celestial opportunity that led to this tragedy was already executed.

His state of mind had changed somewhat, and he said, "Are you going back to Heavenly Emperor Mountain?"

"Sister and Father..."

Da Yi's expression became complicated.

Stroking the battle bow in his hand, he said, "...I must first suppress the turbid world gods and demons."

First...

The Great Sun Golden Crow sensed the meaning in this sentence and nodded slightly: "Then Gongming will return with me."

Zhao Gongming hesitated for a moment, but still did not refuse and chose to acquiesce.

Suddenly, footsteps came.

The Great Sun Golden Crow looked at the crowd over there and said, "Are you going too?"

Liu Niu, wearing armor, nodded silently, and Jing Wei also said, "I, I also want to see Master."

The Great Lake Thunder God also hesitated.

Fuxi said casually: "As for you, go to Longhu Mountain in the human world."

"And the Divine Firmament Sect."

"Under the witness of the Daoist Heavenly Master, connect your names and existence with the thunder department Yuqing Divine Book Talisman."

"In this way, you can be considered a true part of the Heavenly Court's Thunder Department."

"Cough, remember to state your identity, that you are under Yuan."

The Great Lake Thunder God also nodded.

At this moment, Jue was also a little moved, worried about Wei Yuan, and wanted to go to Heavenly Emperor Mountain to visit.

The Great Sun Golden Crow also looked over and said plainly: "Guixu, are you going too?"
