Wubian Zhu glanced at Ye Xuan. “I know you’re trying to use me, but I’m still curious about this big matter you mentioned. Come on, tell me!”
Ye Xuan grinned. “Attack the Law Realm!”
The Law Realm!
Hearing this, Wubian Zhu frowned slightly. “Did they provoke you?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “A little unpleasantness happened!”
Wubian Zhu was silent for a moment, then said, “I’m not interested!”
With that, he turned to leave!
Ye Xuan suddenly called out, “Really not interested?”
Wubian Zhu stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Ye Xuan, and said, “If you really want to destroy the Law Realm, you don’t need to come to me. I’ll tell you a very, very simple method. Just call your sister. Trust me, with one strike from her, the Law Realm would be gone! But if you’re not planning to call her, then let me tell you, you can’t destroy the Law Realm! Even with me, you can’t!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Not even if we team up?”
Wubian Zhu glanced at Ye Xuan. “If you were as strong as me, teaming up would make it simple! But you’re just a mere Heavenly Dao Realm cultivator. Taking you to destroy the Law Realm is like bringing a burden along. Understand?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “What do you mean, mere Heavenly Dao Realm? Across the heavens, how many are at the Heavenly Dao Realm?”
Wubian Zhu shook his head slightly. “Across the heavens? In the Four-Square Universe, the Heavenly Dao Realm is nothing!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Four-Square Universe?”
Wubian Zhu sighed softly. “You don’t even know about the Four-Square Universe, and you want to destroy the Law Realm… Who gave you the courage? Your sister?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Wubian Zhu fell silent.
Damn it!
Bloody hell!
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Don’t you want to destroy the Law Realm?”
Wubian Zhu glanced at Ye Xuan. “No.”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Wubian, I think we can definitely work together!”
Wubian shook his head. “If you call your sister, we can cooperate. If it’s just you, sorry, I don’t want to work with you. Attacking the Law Realm, aside from your mouth, you can’t contribute anything!”
Ye Xuan wanted to say more, but Wubian turned and walked away!
Ye Xuan hurriedly followed!
Seeing Ye Xuan, Monk Wu clasped his hands and smiled slightly!
Shenming hesitated, then cupped his fists in greeting!
Ye Xuan smiled. “Greetings, seniors!”
With that, he looked at Wubian. “As far as I know, you had a grudge with the Law Realm, right?”
Wubian Zhu said calmly, “King of Backers, I’ll say it again. If you really want to destroy the Law Realm, call your sister. It’s a matter of one sword strike!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “For such a small matter, I don’t want to trouble her!”
Wubian Zhu glanced at Ye Xuan. “Then don’t provoke the Law Realm!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “With my current strength, am I still no match for the Law Realm?”
Wubian Zhu stopped walking, turned to look at Ye Xuan, and said, “If you can guarantee you won’t call your sister no matter what, I can show you just how weak you are right now! Don’t worry, I won’t attack you. I’ll find two opponents for you, and we’ll see if they can kill you!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, “I’ve already worked hard!”
Wubian Zhu said calmly, “There are plenty of people who work harder than you! But not everyone can be invincible in the universe! I’ve lived so long, once a chosen one, unmatched in my era, but didn’t I still lose to your sister?”
Ye Xuan sighed softly! Wubian Zhu suddenly asked, “How did you end up clashing with the Law Realm?”
Ye Xuan explained the whole story!
After he finished, Wubian Zhu frowned slightly. “The Great Dao Brush said you’re its master’s chosen successor?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Wubian Zhu fell silent.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Didn’t I say I want to establish a new order? So the Great Dao Brush came to me!”
Wubian Zhu’s expression turned strange!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was curious. “What’s wrong?”
Wubian Zhu shook his head slightly. “I don’t know if you’re really its chosen one, but I must tell you something. The Great Dao Brush is no longer what it once was!”
Ye Xuan froze.
Wubian Zhu smiled. “Simply put, the Great Dao Brush has been outdated by the times! Once, it was indeed second only to one, above all others, but later, it was gradually phased out!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “How so?”
Wubian Zhu glanced at Ye Xuan’s chest. “Isn’t it inside you? Let it explain itself!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Forget it!”
Wubian Zhu asked, “Don’t want to know?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “It’s not important. What matters is that it’s with me now, helping me!”
Wubian Zhu was silent for a moment, then said, “The Law Realm governs the laws of countless universes. It’s a major institution, not something you can destroy. Of course, if you really want to, there’s only one way: call your sister!”
Ye Xuan looked at Wubian Zhu. “When you tried to destroy the Law Realm, did the Great Dao Brush’s master stop you?”
Wubian Zhu nodded.
Ye Xuan asked again, “If the Great Dao Brush’s master hadn’t stopped you, could you have destroyed them?”
Wubian Zhu thought for a moment, then said, “Probably not a big problem!”
Probably!
Ye Xuan fell silent!
Clearly, even without the Great Dao Brush’s master intervening, Wubian Zhu wasn’t absolutely confident he could destroy the Law Realm!
Wubian Zhu added, “The Law Realm isn’t as simple as you think. That place has a supreme formation left by the Great Dao Brush’s master. Its power is beyond your imagination!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Wubian, you’re well-travelled. Can you tell me about the Great Dao Brush’s master’s attitude toward me?”
Wubian Zhu was silent for a moment, then said, “His attitude toward you isn’t important. What matters is how you see yourself!”
Ye Xuan looked at Wubian, who said softly, “You’re different from others. For others, his opinion would matter, but not for you. Even if you ignore him, he can’t do anything to you! You’re in a unique position: your strength is still within the circle, but your karma is already outside it. The Great Dao Brush’s master has no power over you!”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Wubian continued, “As for the Law Realm, you don’t need to fear them! You’re not even afraid of me, so why fear them?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. “At least you won’t recklessly come after me, but they will!”
Wubian was silent for a moment, then said, “You know, before your sister and the others appeared, this boundless universe was unified. What I mean is, back then, everyone revered the Great Dao Brush’s master, who indeed established a new order. But an order needs maintainers, so he created a vast force called the Dao Sect. All the laws, principles, and Heavenly Daos you see now belong to this force, including the Great Dao Brush! With no external enemies, internal conflicts arose in the Dao Sect. There were two factions: one close to the Great Dao Brush’s master, and another trying to get closer to him. Naturally, the two factions clashed!”
He shook his head slightly. “That’s not the worst part. The worst is the interests. Take the laws, for example. A single law governs a region and can grow stronger. To grow, it needs resources. So, these laws, principles, and Heavenly Daos started seeking their own benefits. Originally, they were meant to protect the interests of all beings, but when they began competing with those beings for resources…”
He looked at Ye Xuan. “Do you understand what I mean?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Wubian Zhu continued, “You want to establish a new order. Forget challenging the Dao Sect’s order for a moment. There’s one problem you can’t solve: even if you establish this order, can you guarantee it will remain good?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Wubian Zhu added, “You can’t guarantee it! Because others aren’t you! You have your sister to back you, but what about others? You can be selfless, but others can’t! If I’m not mistaken, the reason so many people follow and help you now is because of benefits, right?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Wubian Zhu smiled. “If there were no benefits, would they help you?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Wubian Zhu smiled again. “Or, one day, when the benefits you offer can’t satisfy them, will they still follow your order as they do now?”
Ye Xuan looked at Wubian. “So, facing this chaotic universe, should we just do nothing?”
Wubian smiled. “Don’t accuse me of moral failing. I’m not saying your desire to establish a new order is wrong. I’m just pointing out some issues, that’s all! As for me, everyone has their own choices, don’t they?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “You’re not wrong!”
Wubian glanced at Ye Xuan. “To establish a new order, you need invincible strength! Frankly, if you didn’t rely on your sister to suppress karma, you’d die here today!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “You’re wrong!”
Wubian frowned. “Don’t believe me?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “If not my sister, there’s still my father. With my father around, who dares touch me?”
Wubian Zhu was silent for a moment, then said, “If you’re going to talk like that, we’ve got nothing to discuss!”
With that, he turned and walked up the mountain!
Shenming and Monk Wu hurriedly followed!
At that moment, a demon beast suddenly appeared before the three.
It was the same beast that had fought Ye Xuan earlier!
Wubian Zhu glanced at the beast, then led Shenming and Monk Wu up the mountain!
The beast glanced at Wubian, then stepped aside, not blocking their path!
Ye Xuan hurriedly followed, but the beast blocked him!
Ye Xuan frowned. “What’s this?”
The beast looked at Ye Xuan. “You can’t go up!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why can they go up, but I can’t?”
The beast was silent for a moment, then said, “I can’t beat him. If I don’t let him pass, he might kill me. Tell me, should I let him go?”
“Damn it!”
Ye Xuan felt insulted. “Do you think I can’t kill you?”
The beast nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
