Lu Wu's divided soul was originally a backup left by Kai Ming to prevent Lu Wu from being harmed by others.

Of course, there was a little bit of extra material added.

In theory, this divided soul would only be activated when Lu Wu himself was plotted against, his spirit dimmed, and he was on the verge of annihilation. Then, it would serve as a hidden Dao beacon for Lu Wu to revive. Before that, this divided soul would be in an inactive, standby state.

But now, she was awake.

Even without connecting with the main body, she still possessed the memories and judgment from when the divided soul was created.

"How could this be?"

Kai Ming struggled, looking at the divided soul in front of him.

As another being in a divided soul state.

Kai Ming was saddened to discover that he actually couldn't beat the divided soul in front of him.

Even better.

This divided soul was actually created by him.

The Binghun (Soldier Soul) entered Lu Wu's divided soul activation state. The originally simple and honest expression became calm and majestic, with deep eyes. She slowly said:

"Edict—those with ghosts in their hearts, do not act rashly!"

"Edict—those with fear in their hearts, do not act rashly!"

"Edict—"

"Those who commit despicable acts shall suffer the Five Severe and Five Crippling Punishments of Heaven, and be struck by Five Thunderbolts!"

Kai Ming: "…………"

"You're targeting me!"

"I didn't say your name."

"Damn it!"

The 'Binghun' (Soldier Soul) had deep eyes, and she reached out and pressed on Kai Ming's shoulder, saying, "This is not the place to talk."

"Your room is quite small."

"He brought you back, so what exactly is going on? Tell me everything clearly."

……………………

In the quiet room.

Wei Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, tapping the table heavily with his fingers, analyzing the current situation—

Whether it was for his own promises and agreements, or to be able to eliminate the Zhuoshi Xiaozun (Worldly Honored One) in the Zhuoshi as soon as possible, he had to find Hou Tu's location as quickly as possible. However, Hou Tu was not good at celestial calculations, but her position was extremely high. Relying solely on the [Nantianmen] (South Heaven Gate) would not be able to find her in the vast expanse of the ten directions.

So, it was time to find Kai Ming's main body.

First, force Kai Ming to constantly create divided bodies, weakening his foundation as the main body.

Then, directly reverse the positions of his main body and divided bodies.

Finally, let the real Kai Ming take the opportunity to regain his original position.

The Daoist closed his eyes, still unable to sense the cause and effect of his friend, and sighed softly:

"Qi..."

…………………

After several days of rest, Wei Yuan contacted Zhu Siyin. This Zhuzhao Siyou (Torch Dragon Illuminating the Four Nether Regions) seemed to have returned to the Four Nether Regions to heal his injuries. His overall aura was no longer as weakened as it was then, but had returned to its deep and profound state. Wei Yuan nodded slightly.

The two did not communicate much.

Wei Yuan only joined his seven fingers together, and the intertwined cause and effect turned into a tangible door. Then, he directly used the Nantianmen (South Heaven Gate) to accurately lock onto the other four Tianmen (Heaven Gates). At this moment, in the Kai Ming Blessed Land, the four Tianmen (Heaven Gates) seemed to sense each other and lit up with flowing light. At this moment, Kai Ming's subordinates, who had barely survived several days of anxiety in the Blessed Land, were finally able to relax a little.

They talked in low voices, saying that Yuanshi Tianzun (Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning) seemed to have not come again.

Perhaps the Zhuoshi Xiaozun (Worldly Honored One) had put pressure on Yuanshi Tianzun (Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning)!

"That's right, Xiaozun (Honored One) has unparalleled cultivation, vast magical powers, and countless demon gods under his command, all of whom have the power to move mountains and fill seas."

"Lord Kai Ming has already told Xiaozun (Honored One) the news, so there will definitely be no problems!"

"Naturally!"

"With Xiaozun (Honored One) taking action, a mere human race is nothing to worry about!"

"Dare to call himself Yuanshi Tianzun (Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning)?"

"Haha, is..."

"What's going on with this sound?"

The face of the woman who spoke suddenly froze. She felt that the surrounding天地元气 (tiandi yuanqi, the vital energies of heaven and earth) began to tremble at a terrifying frequency, making a terrifying roar like the beginning of the Honghuang Era, as if all things in the heaven and earth were roaring. The woman suddenly thought of the warnings her superiors had given her before, and her face changed drastically. Her lips trembled.

"Crap, we said that name!"

"What name?"

Subconsciously raised her head.

Seeing a giant door slowly emerge in the void.

Vaguely, there was an aura of covering the sky and blocking the sun.

Jade green in color, with thousands of auspicious rays and myriad zhang (丈, a unit of length) of rosy clouds.

Then, accompanied by a earth-shattering roar like the opening of the heavens and the earth, the entire giant Tianmen (Heaven Gate) unfolded towards both sides.

A Daoist in a blue shirt and white hair, with wide sleeves, stood quietly in the door.

Vaguely, he already had a sense of being as high as the heaven and earth. His deep and serene eyes were watching the front, like a world-destroying demon god.

"Yuan...Yuanshi Tianzun (Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning)!!!"

"Run!!!"

………………

The carving knife in his hand slowly rotated, and wood chips fell one after another. Finally, in the hands of the youth with the iron mask, a wood carving vividly appeared in his palm. It was an ancient and rough city. His wood carving skills were so good that the city looked extremely real everywhere, as if it really existed.

It seemed that if such a city really existed, then when the sun rose, the sunlight would flow into the streets of the city.

People would start their day's work with the flowing light of the morning sun, and the bustling sounds would fill every corner of the city. Children would run, and adults would be busy with their daily work, with smiles on their faces. The taste of the mortal world was intoxicating, and Qi's mouth seemed to have a trace of a smile.

But what he held in his hand was, after all, just a wood carving.

The years of the past were, after all, impossible to reproduce.

The smile on the young man's mouth dried up.

Then, it returned to the unchanging silence and quiet.

He put the wood carving aside.

There were still some other things here. There were cute and interesting wood carvings that little boys would like, and there were also toy weapons that girls would like. The young man held his mask and silently looked up at the distance. At this moment, the entire Four Tianmen (Four Heaven Gates), now the area sealed off by the Four Departments of Heaven, was extremely relaxed.

And the outside was simultaneously blocked by Zhulong's Twilight of the Years and Yuanshi Tianzun's (Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning) Sword Qi River.

During this period, there had been masters who claimed to have extremely fast escape speeds, or sword formations, who tried to break out of the formation.

There were no exceptions.

All of them died under the combination of these two moves.

The sounds of dragon roars and sword cries never ceased.

Vast and boundless.

But this was still not enough to completely kill Kai Ming, a powerful figure with the characteristics of seeing the ten directions.

Seven thousand years of lonely fulfillment, today was finally coming to an end. Qi's heart was peacefully calm as he sorted out his things.

This sword, re-forged in imitation of Yeying (Shadow Reins), was for Yu. The things for Nü Jiao were a manuscript of the Xiantian Bagua (Primordial Eight Trigrams). Now the human world should need this kind of thing. Hopefully, the knowledge and inheritance of this old fellow could still be of some use. This wood carving of the Mountain and Sea Wilderness was a wedding gift for Lu Wu and that girl.

If they had a daughter in the future, they should like these toy weapons. I just hoped they wouldn't cut off all the grass of the Tushan clan.

If it was a son, that would be even better. It was good to like weapons. If he liked to study formation diagrams, there were also manuscripts.

If he liked the dolls that boys liked, he had also made some here. He just hoped they wouldn't dislike that the wood carvings were not good-looking.

Finally, the young man glanced at the courtyard where he had stayed for a while, and the expression on his face became restrained and irritable again. He said, "Well, anyway, Lu Wu, Yu, and Nü Jiao, I'm very glad to see you again, and to know that you are all doing well… Speaking of which, last time, it was I who sent you away."

"This time, it should be me walking ahead of you. That's actually quite good."

The young man turned and walked forward step by step.

When he lowered his eyes.

The wind that had lazily laid on the grass seven thousand years ago seemed to be blowing on his face again, calling out to him again.

"It's time to go back."

…………

At this moment, the sword energy outside suddenly became roaring and domineering, and the sound of the dragon's roar became more and more turbid and sparse. Yuanshi Tianzun (Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning) and Zhu Siyin came here again, and once again began to attack the defenses of the Tianmen (Heaven Gates). Just as the power exerted by the four Tianmen (Heaven Gates) far exceeded ordinary magical treasures, losing one Tianmen (Heaven Gate) greatly reduced the effect here.

For some reason, today's Yuanshi Tianzun (Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning) seemed to be in a state of suppressed anger.

Qi slightly raised his eyes and saw the terrifying sword light that tore apart all laws above the sky.

Even with the four Tianmen (Heaven Gates), it was still impossible to completely resist this terrifying move, allowing the boundless sword energy to escape and illuminate the slightly dim sky. Qi looked at the sword light and did not understand the reason, but he seemed to be able to sense the ancient emotions above the sword light.

He suddenly remembered.

When they traveled together once, everyone had agreed on what to eat, but that day they found fruit outside and ate their fill. When they came back, Lu Wu became very angry. This time, even Nü Jiao had to sit here obediently.

Lu Wu used an iron spoon to beat the pottery vat.

When he was too excited, even the vat would be broken.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed loudly, laughing together. Lu Wu still wanted to hold it back, but Yu tickled him, and finally he laughed helplessly, laughing so hard that he lay on the grass and had no strength left.

Qi's face, covered by a white mask, had a bit more seriousness and humanity that it should not have.

‘How…did I end up thinking about these things at the end?’

‘I had clearly made up my mind.’

The youth muttered to himself.

Kai Ming's face was slightly gloomy and unsightly. He summoned everyone. Qi was very clear that Kai Ming had been forced to the end and had no choice but to fight to the death.

After all, he couldn't get out.

He couldn't run away either, and for some reason, Yuanshi Tianzun (Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning) had an extremely strong obsession with breaking through the four Tianmen (Heaven Gates).

"This is really… strange."

"Could it be that Kai Ming has a grudge against him?"

Qi was puzzled in his heart.

But this was also a good thing, a rare opportunity for his plan.

But he found that although Kai Ming's face was not so good-looking, he was not at the point of despair.

It seemed that he had gained some reliance.

Boom!!!

At this moment, a giant aura rose up, followed by the sound of friction from armor colliding as he walked, chilling and fierce, making people feel cold in their hearts. Qi slightly raised his eyes and saw the man walking out of the crowd, wearing a purple-gold crown with eight prongs, a Xichuan red brocade robe with hundreds of flowers, a chain armor with a beast-faced head, a linglong (exquisite) lion belt around his waist, a bow and arrow with him, and holding a painted halberd, heroic and imposing.

As if he was an undefeated ghost god on the battlefield.

This is…

Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Kai Ming swept over his surrounding subordinates and said urgently: "Your reinforcements have also arrived."

"He is the adopted son of the Zhuoshi Xiaozun (Worldly Honored One), the most loyal and valiant general of the Zhuoshi!"

"Lü Bu Fengxian."

"At that time, you and I will go into battle together to drive away Yuanshi Tianzun (Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning) and Zhu Siyin." This sentence was said while looking at Lü Fengxian.

Lü Fengxian's tiger eyes swept across, passing over the young Qi, and said, "I am new here, and I have not yet established merit!"

"This matter is an opportunity for me to gain the trust of the Honored One, so naturally there will be no loopholes."

Kai Ming, and even Qi, only thought that this Honored One was Zhuoshi Xiaozun (Worldly Honored One).

So Kai Ming laughed loudly and said, "Good! Good! After this matter, I will definitely help you speak well of him in front of Xiaozun (Honored One)!"

Lü Bu stared at Kai Ming's chest and clenched his Fangtian Huaji (Halberd).

He nodded and smiled: "That Xiaozun (Honored One) is my kind and respectable future adoptive father."

"How dare Bü not devote his life?"
