182: Chapter 182 The Great Evolution Divine Lord!
After the couple had some lighthearted bickering, Zhao Changsheng set off directly for the Far West.
There was no other way; after all, Divine Lord Dayan, who had lived for over ten thousand years, was inside. Zhao Changsheng was extremely interested in this Divine Lord Dayan. Since he had encountered him, he definitely could not miss this opportunity, nor could he let it slip by. In any case, he had to get Divine Lord Dayan into his own hands.
Firstly, it was because Divine Lord Dayan did not have much lifespan left, and secondly, it was because Divine Lord Dayan knew and understood a great deal, which would be very useful for what he planned to do next.
Under these circumstances, Zhao Changsheng had to get his hands on Divine Lord Dayan no matter what.
He wanted to obtain what he needed from Divine Lord Dayan; if he didn't get it, Zhao Changsheng would truly be unwilling to let it go.
After his second massive purge, managing the Tiannan Cultivation World became much easier. Aside from him, the strongest Cultivator naturally became Wei Wuya.
With Wei Wuya's originally good character and quite impressive strength, under these circumstances, even if many forces had complaints in their hearts, they dared not express much.
They could only obediently listen, having no other choice. If they didn't obediently listen, there was only a dead end. When Wei Wuya took action, he was in no way inferior to Zhao Changsheng, so in this situation, they could only obey.
Because their last remaining resistance had been wiped out by the Senior from Great Jin whom they had trusted.
Under these circumstances, if they didn't listen, there was only a dead end; there was simply no other path to survival.
That was the situation!
As for the existence of Zhao Changsheng, the entire Tiannan Cultivation World, the two races of the Prairie, and the Chaotic Star Sea no longer had so many objections. After experiencing such two massive purges, if they had any more objections, Zhao Changsheng would not allow them to live next time.
At worst, he would just select those with Spiritual Roots from among the Mortals and teach them Cultivation Techniques.
He could rebuild a Cultivation Empire, or rather, a Cultivation World.
This was also possible; it was not something that couldn't be done. On the contrary, it was a very easy thing to do.
Besides Wei Wuya, those close friends and confidants of Zhao Changsheng all came to help one after another because they knew this was the last opportunity. If they didn't seize it, it would be a very difficult thing to connect with Zhao Changsheng in the future. They had to seize the time; they absolutely could not lose this opportunity.
Wei Wuya was also very clear about their thoughts, but he did not stop them.
However, regarding their attempts to curry favor, Wei Wuya basically didn't accept much.
Instead, he wholeheartedly followed Zhao Changsheng's instructions, repairing the mess Zhao Changsheng had left behind bit by bit, establishing a relatively complete and perfect Cultivation Empire. It was just that, as for the strength of this Cultivation Empire? Aside from Zhao Changsheng, there wasn't much left.
To be precise, there were basically no Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators; now, only Wei Wuya remained as a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
Under these circumstances, Wei Wuya was undoubtedly below one person but above ten thousand.
But even so, Wei Wuya still didn't do anything excessive, instead obediently following Zhao Changsheng's instructions.
Having experienced this twice, Wei Wuya knew very well that Zhao Changsheng's Divine Abilities and methods meant he was unwilling to provoke or offend Zhao Changsheng. Provoking and offending Zhao Changsheng would not lead to any good end, nor would it yield any good results.
Under these circumstances, as long as one wasn't a fool, they wouldn't choose to be enemies with Zhao Changsheng again.
If they were to be enemies with Zhao Changsheng again, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.
Zhao Changsheng couldn't be bothered to manage these things, because he had already found the Divine Lord Dayan he was looking for.
"You brat are truly quite impressive, actually establishing a Cultivation Empire. It's truly impressive. So many Senior Cultivators over so many years have never been able to achieve this, yet it was achieved by a Junior like you. Truly impressive."
Upon learning from Zhao Changsheng that he had established a Cultivation Empire, Divine Lord Dayan's first reaction was to praise Zhao Changsheng—it was truly too impressive!
Facing Divine Lord Dayan's praise, Zhao Changsheng also smiled and said: "Senior, you flatter me. This Junior did it for the sake of the entire Mortal Realm. If it weren't for the sake of the entire Mortal Realm, this Junior would not have been able to do such a thing. It is precisely for the entire Mortal Realm; otherwise, this Junior would not have spent so much effort and energy to create such a Cultivation Empire. However, even so, it is very difficult for the current Cultivation World to return to the Ancient Era. But fortunately, this Junior still released a portion of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. In this way, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of this Mortal Realm still has a chance to return to one-third or even half the level of the Ancient Era in the future."
"But the prerequisite for all this is waiting for this Junior to resolve the issue of Kunwu Mountain. If this problem is not resolved, then there will be too many things this Junior needs to do next, and they might not even be completed or done well. Under these circumstances, what else can this Junior do? This Junior even once thought about letting the Devilish Qi infuse the body, which would inevitably greatly increase this Junior's strength, but doing so would easily lead to the loss of sanity."
"So after thinking it over, this Junior chose another method. This method is truly too terrifying. The degree of danger and the hidden dangers are simply too great."
"What you said is not wrong. This method can indeed increase your strength rapidly in a short time, but it is very easy to become a monster that is neither human nor devil. By then, you probably won't even know how you died. So, under these circumstances, it is better for you to be obedient. If you choose something bad, the consequences will be unpredictable. But considering you saved me, I can help you with some things."
"But I cannot help you too much, so I hope you understand."
Hearing Divine Lord Dayan's words, Zhao Changsheng nodded and said with a smile: "This Junior naturally understands. This Junior has already understood this matter. Senior, please rest assured. If even this little thing couldn't be understood, this Junior would have already become a dead man, let alone lived until now, not to mention establishing such a Cultivation Empire."
"It's just that this Junior still has to do some things next, and I do not intend to tell the people around me about these things. Their help to me is no longer very significant, and telling them would only drag them down. So I plan to do it alone. I originally wanted to find a reference who could speak with me, and now it seems I have found one. Senior is the most likely reference to speak with."
"After all, in terms of experience, this Junior cannot compare to Senior at all. I believe Senior will provide this Junior with many opinions. And this Junior can also promise Senior that I will do my best to protect Senior and not let Senior's Primordial Spirit dissipate. This is not a difficult thing for this Junior. Just like the Cultivation Technique this Junior taught Senior before, Senior only needs to practice it diligently to ensure that your own Primordial Spirit will not dissipate. As long as the Primordial Spirit does not dissipate and continues to strengthen, then Senior will have a chance of rebirth. However, this chance of rebirth is not great because Senior's lifespan has long been exhausted. So wanting to resurrect Senior is not an easy task. At least, this Junior has not thought of a way yet."
"However, it is not entirely without a way. If Senior is willing to become an Artifact Spirit, it is possible. In this way, it can be considered a kind of alternative resurrection. However, in this process, Senior's intelligence might be completely erased. But it will not necessarily be completely erased; it is also possible to preserve it, and the probability of preserving it is quite high."
"And as far as this Junior knows, there is also an Artifact Spirit race in the Spirit Realm. To be precise, they are the Spirit Race, just a major branch within the Spirit Race. It's just that I don't know if this happens, whether Senior will still be able to undergo Reincarnation in the future. In fact, regarding the matter of Reincarnation, this Junior does not hold much hope. Even if one could undergo Reincarnation, so what? That would no longer be oneself."
"It is completely useless. Not even knowing who one is, what kind of Reincarnation is that? So in this situation, there is no need to care about it at all."
"What you said is not wrong; what you said is very correct. Reincarnation might just be a fantasy or a luxury of Cultivators. Even if one could truly undergo Reincarnation, it would no longer be oneself. Moreover, even if one undergoes Reincarnation, it is not certain what one will be reincarnated into. What if one is reincarnated as a Mortal? Or reincarnated as livestock? It is also possible to be reincarnated into flowers or grass."
"Under these circumstances, what is the point of Reincarnation? It is completely useless. However, wanting me to become your Artifact Spirit, that might not be achievable. But I still want to thank you for the Cultivation Technique you taught me. If it weren't for this Cultivation Technique you taught me, my Primordial Spirit would probably have dissipated long ago. Even if it hadn't dissipated, it wouldn't have lasted long. So, I really have to thank you for this matter. With this Cultivation Technique, at least I can persist for another three to five hundred years, or even another thousand years is possible. But don't forget what you promised me."
"Senior, please rest assured. I have already agreed to the matter, and I will definitely be able to do it. If I couldn't do it, how could I have promised Senior? Senior, don't you think that is the logic?"
"And I do indeed want to see if Senior can realize the Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Puppet you envisioned."
"With such a Puppet, it will be much easier for this Junior to kill strong enemies in the future. However, with this Junior's Divine Abilities and strength, even without this Puppet, killing strong enemies is not a difficult thing; it would just be more convenient."
"What you said is indeed true. Your Divine Thought is already far beyond Cultivators of the same Realm, and even I, in my Peak period, might not be able to compare to you. I really don't know how you Cultivate; I truly don't know how you Cultivate."
"Senior is joking. Haven't I already taught you the Cultivation Technique? Do you still not know how this Junior Cultivates?"
Zhao Changsheng's words made Divine Lord Dayan smile: "Don't use this kind of trick to fool a child on me anymore; it's useless. This Cultivation Technique is indeed somewhat useful to me, but it is completely different from what you Cultivate. Don't think that you can fool me with this little method; that is impossible. Don't you understand?"
"As expected, I couldn't fool Senior. Sigh, it is this Junior who was impolite. Senior, please forgive me. This matter was indeed this Junior's fault. Senior, please forgive me."
"Alright, stop talking this nonsense. You just need to do as I say. As for whether it can be realized, that depends on your ability. If it is realized, it is naturally a good thing for you. If it is not realized, then don't blame me for being impolite. I will not do any of the things you requested. After all, this is my wish. You haven't even fulfilled my wish, so why should I help you do things?"
"This Junior is in the wrong for being lectured. Senior is right. This is indeed the truth. If I haven't realized Senior's wish, then this Junior truly has no qualification to ask Senior for help."
"However, this Junior still thinks Senior should carefully consider the suggestion this Junior just made. This suggestion is really quite good. If it is realized, Senior can also be considered resurrected."
"Don't think about it like that. It is impossible for me to agree to this matter. Even if I were resurrected in this way, it would be better to just die. In fact, it doesn't matter. As long as the wish can be realized, even if I fall, I won't feel anything. So you don't need to try to persuade me with this method here. Resurrecting as an Artifact Spirit—although I know there is a possibility of realizing it, even so, I am not willing."
"Because in that case, it is equivalent to holding one's own life and death in the hands of others, and it is very easy to be controlled by others. I do not want to live such a life; it is impossible for me to live such a life, so you don't need to think about it."
"Senior is absolutely right; this Junior admires you. What Senior said is indeed the case. No one is willing to accept such a life. However, this Junior still does not wish for Senior to fall just like that. After all, with Senior's Aptitude and talent, I believe the future achievements are unimaginable and can also give this Junior enough help. So this Junior truly does not wish for Senior to fall like this."
"Get lost, get out of here immediately! The way you speak, it sounds like I am about to lose my life now. You get out of here immediately; perhaps even if you die, I won't be dead yet. So you get out of here immediately; don't talk this useless nonsense here. What you need to do now is to follow what I said and hurry up to collect those Materials for me. Those Materials are very important to me. You should know very well that whether I can refine the Puppet depends on these Materials. So stop talking nonsense to me; it's useless if you say it. I will not agree. Just obediently listen to me and don't think about those useless things."
