Chapter 486: Chapter 321 Searching for the Emperor of Heaven!

When mentioning the incidents at the foot of the Kunlun Mountain, the youths always express a profound resentment befitting of learned scholars.

In any case, anyone who manages to slay an Evil God using only their mortal flesh is undeniably a valiant hero among men.

Hearing what they had said, Fu Tianyuan shook his head and sighed, "Zhong Li, Zhong He, the situation is now perilous. As your teacher, I am deeply involved in worldly affairs and cannot escape this calamity; however, you must prepare to seal our sect and retreat from the world."

"Ah..." The disciple leading the group, named Zhong Li, paused for a moment, then said with some surprise, "Teacher, isn’t the West King still containing his evil thoughts?"

"He has not... he has not... How could he simply give up?!"

The surrounding students also began to persuade their teacher. Sealing the mountain, effectively abandoning all foundations to live a secluded life in a small valley, did not align with their ideals.

"Alas, you do not understand. When Heaven unleashes its killing mechanism, the constellations shift; when Earth releases its killing force, dragons and serpents rise from the ground; when Humanity harbors killing intent, the earth turns upside down."

"Not only do deities harbor evil thoughts, but men do as well—the greed of scholars, the desires of nobles and officials."

"And the malicious thoughts of an Emperor are especially severe."

After pondering for a moment, Fu Tianyuan explained, "This calamity is such that even the reincarnation of a Saint can do nothing to withstand it. For ten people on Kunlun Mountain, to have even one survive would be a relatively fortunate outcome."

The disciples were still too young, full of fiery passion yet ignorant of the filth and intrigues of the imperial court.

The state of mind of humanity is influenced by Deities; conversely, the functioning of human society also affects the state of the Deities.

Even humans are cannibalistic toward each other; the fact that the West King is unaffected would be the true anomaly.

Utilizing human lives for a Blood Sacrifice may forestall the inevitable for a while, but it cannot prevent it forever!

The temptation of a Blood Sacrifice is simply too great!

The one who performs a Blood Sacrifice will gain the favor and delight of the West King, a power so supreme it can overturn the Great Qian Dynasty!

Under such temptation, there will always be those with ambition plotting evil deeds, intent on overturning the world.

It is just impossible to guard against!

"Think about it—even if we cannot prevent the emergence of those with ambition, and a Blood Sacrifice is an inevitable event, wouldn’t the Emperor think, ’Why not perform it myself? Why allow someone else to benefit? Why not solidify my rule even more?’"

"Do not think too highly of people."

"On the surface, the Emperor seems benevolent, but his position is far from secure, with undercurrents surging in the court. When his life and wealth are at stake, can he remain kindhearted? What about the ministers and generals? With everyone feeling threatened, some will certainly become traitors, right? Even among our own Kunlun Sect’s disciples, many have formed connections with the Evil Gods."

"The outside world is a whirlpool of temptation; cleaning our own ranks is a never-ending task!"

"Teacher..." These core disciples were completely dumbfounded.

Could such a situation really arise?

The young Emperor, also full of grand aspirations and striving for effective governance, would he really do such a thing?

Fu Tianyuan continued, "How did Ksitigarbha magically disappear? Who wiped out the entire lineage of monks on Jiuhua Mountain? Could mere Evil Gods exterminate the lineage of Jiuhua Mountain? Surely, it must have been a concerted effort of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity that eradicated those monks."

"Humanity, truly, brings misfortune upon themselves, beyond hope of redemption."

Calculating with his fingers, Fu Tianyuan felt a bleak future ahead and heaved a sigh, "Enough, even if our Kunlun Sect seals the mountain and retreats from the world, we will find it difficult to escape this calamity—it is an apocalyptic crisis. Should the West King truly begin to devour humans, we will have no choice but to devise a plan to combat him."

The students shivered in fear.

Today, their teacher was being unusually serious, and the situation suddenly seemed very grim.

Gathering his courage, Zhong Li asked, "Teacher, how can we few possibly fight against the West King?"

"How could we not fight against him?" laughed Fu Tianyuan. "You have experienced too little. Outside of Kunlun Mountain, Evil Gods are everywhere, and yet the common folk can still band together to slay them. With the Taoist Skills you possess, do you not even have the courage to resist?"

"Of course, the strength of the ’West King’ is incomparable to that of the provincial Evil Gods; we must proceed with caution and lay out a detailed plan."

The group discussed for a long time, ultimately coming up with only two plans.

First, the Divine Beast "Diting"!

Ksitigarbha had disappeared mysteriously, and the lineage of Jiuhua Mountain had been completely annihilated, but his mount, the Divine Beast "Diting", was still alive, having been fortuitously rescued by the Kunlun lineage.

This was a significant secret.

However, Diting was gravely wounded, with little chance of recovering its former strength; its combat effectiveness was unknown.

In any case, Diting was an essential force. Though it could not compare to the "West King", it could still offer some distraction in battle, which would be beneficial.

The second plan was to seek assistance from the suddenly emerged deity, the "Emperor of Heaven"!

The imperial family, unwilling to change dynasties, rejected the divine descent.

Yet the Kunlun Sect had no such anxieties. Regardless of the change in dynasties, the Kunlun Sect, always esteemed as Heavenly Masters, would not be easily discarded. Their magic stemmed from within themselves and was not a gift from any Deity.

"If it dares to call itself Heaven, surely it cannot fear meeting with me, a mere mortal?"

Fu Tianyuan took a deep breath and said, "If it wishes to change the heavens and the earth, our Kunlun Sect joining is but a trifle. It is easy to add splendor to what is already splendid, but difficult to provide timely help; it is now just beginning, and it is not too late to pledge allegiance."

"Let us find a way to meet with this so-called ’Heaven’!"

The Heavenly Master, Fu Tianyuan, considering himself well-versed in Taoist Skills and worldly experiences, felt confident he had the means to protect himself even in the face of a true Deity.
