My construction materials are weird

With the friendship of Xuanhuang, the trio departed.

Xuanhuang thought the matter would end there, but little did he know, this was just the beginning.

In the following days, top-tier realms within Haidai Province all sent beings to visit Qingyun Mountain and Xuanhuang.

Xuanhuang did almost nothing during this period, spending his time receiving visitors from these top-tier realms.

Peng Yue from the Martial Temple Realm brought the goodwill of the Martial Temple Realm, elaborated on Lord Wu'an's evaluation of Xuanhuang, and further emphasized, "We are human, we were, we are, and we will be."

We martial men don't engage in empty formalities. Our descendants haven't forgotten the achievements of those who sacrificed themselves, allowing us to come from the past to the present. The Martial Temple Realm will be a loyal guardian of humanity.

Just as they previously guarded their own countries or forces.

However, they didn't visit the Martial Dao Alliance, as that wouldn't be appropriate.

Based on the premise that success is secondary, but action must be taken, all four have their own temples.

Of course, the main offering is Xuanhuang.

Xuanhuang's Dao Lord statue is needed to suppress the spiritual statues within the temples.

Xuanhuang's statue is like a stabilizing needle; without it, it won't work; without him, there's no suppression.

Without suppression, who knows what kind of demons and monsters might be born.

For the above reasons, Peng Yue didn't go to the Martial Dao Alliance. This is Xuanhuang Daoist's territory. What's the point of visiting his disciples?

It's better not to visit.

If they did, and the Martial Dao Alliance, to show loyalty, smashed their statues, that would be counterproductive.

Besides the Martial Temple Realm, there was another firm declaration: they were, are, and will always be of the human race.

The second was the Confucian Temple Realm. Respecting gods and spirits while keeping them at a distance should have a significant impact on them. Although "The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, feats of strength, disorder, or spiritual beings" has been treated as a joke, the 'Master' now truly has the strength to beat gods.

Zuo Qiuming, a great historian and even a sage, came on behalf of the Confucian Temple Realm.

After conveying friendship, Zuo Qiuming didn't return like Peng Yue but sought Xuanhuang's approval to explore Qingyun Mountain and Nanshi.

The reason was also stated clearly: to record this prosperous era, to record this pioneering period of cultivators.

This concerned his future.

Xuanhuang naturally agreed. It wouldn't hurt him and could help others, so why not?

Besides these two, a porter from Mount Tai came, also bringing goodwill.

His arrival reminded Xuanhuang of something he had forgotten to ask the three from the Yellow River Realm.

So, Xuanhuang asked the porter, "Fellow Daoist, as far as I know, there are not only innate sacred beings like you in the realm but also countless strange entities. What is the reason for this?"

This was Xuanhuang's doubt.

He had known for a long time that Mount Tai was filled with strange occurrences, with a strange entity every step and a strange entity with a domain every ten steps. It could be said to be a densely packed and very dangerous place.

Later, after contacting the realm beings, that is, these innate sacred beings, he learned that the realm was not so simple.

He had forgotten to ask the corpse-retrieving trio about this doubt before.

Xuanhuang encountered the porter, so he inquired.

"It's easy to explain. Although the Mount Tai Realm is a top-tier realm, it's also a member of the Blue Star Holy Land. The transformation of Blue Star is a reflection of the endless myriad worlds' Blue Star, now reverting to its true form as a holy land."

"Similarly, realms like our Mount Tai Realm and the Yellow River Realm are condensed from Mount Tai and the Yellow River in countless worlds, not appearing out of thin air."

"Therefore, when the myriad worlds shattered, fragments of rules became strange entities. When the shattered Mount Tai of the myriad worlds merged here, there were also fragments of rules. Even many strange entities were Mount Tai gods or ghosts from a certain world. They are also members of Mount Tai, so naturally, they became strange entities."

"Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang, are you wondering why they weren't all nurtured into sacred beings?" the porter asked.

Xuanhuang said, "Yes!"

"Because there is a fixed number. To put it realistically, it's impossible to nurture all the Mount Tai beings of the myriad worlds into sacred beings. Fellow Daoist must know that nurturing sacred beings is very costly, especially those top-tier sixth-order masters. Moreover…"

The porter paused and continued, "The essence is nurtured into sacred beings like us. Yin and Yang are opposed, good and evil are distinct, and the turbid, dark naturally become the strange entities on Mount Tai."

"I see!" Xuanhuang indicated that he understood.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, these strange entities pose no threat to the human world in the short term. They cannot come out. It's difficult even for us sacred beings to come out, let alone them," the porter explained, fearing Xuanhuang's concern.

"That's good." Although Xuanhuang didn't ask because of this.

But since the porter said so, he didn't expose it and took it as a default response.

"Besides following the Emperor's command to visit Fellow Daoist, there is actually another matter that our Lord has instructed."

After the two exchanged a few words, the porter expressed his second purpose for coming.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely!"

Xuanhuang said.

"It's like this, Fellow Daoist should know that the Mount Tai Realm is not just a top-tier realm, it also connects to the Underworld and the Yellow Springs Heaven?"

"I know," Xuanhuang nodded.

"The Seven Heavens are different from our realm. Strictly speaking, they are not beings of the Yang world, but the dark and negative aspects of the world, naturally in opposition to us…"

Xuanhuang believed half of what the porter said, especially after he explained the secrets of the Seven Heavens.

"Therefore, the Emperor's intention is that our Mount Tai Realm can open the path to the Yellow Springs Heaven to Fellow Daoist and your disciples, allowing you to transmit the Dharma to the Yellow Springs Heaven."

The porter spoke eloquently.

Seeing Xuanhuang's silent appearance after he finished speaking, he smiled:

"I know Fellow Daoist has doubts and confusion. Honest people don't speak secret words. We also have intentions to use Fellow Daoist in doing this. We won't hide this, after all, sincere communication and cooperation are the long-term path, and conspiracies and tricks will only be temporarily imposing, not the Great Dao."

"Oh?"

Xuanhuang also smiled. If you say it like that, we can continue to communicate.

"It's like this, I wonder if Fellow Daoist knows that only less than 10% of the fallen stars fall to the ground, and 90% are blocked by the Nine Layers of Celestial罡, or rather, transformed, becoming the essence of the Nine Layers of Celestial罡?"

"I know a little."

Xuanhuang continued to nod.

Xuanhuang also knew this, and the porter was a little surprised. As expected, this Xuanhuang Daoist couldn't be underestimated.

This person is indeed magical, knowing so much.

However, in this way, it will be easier for me to explain.

“Since Fellow Daoist knows, that makes things easier. The Eighth Heaven is about to appear, and you can call it the Heavenly Court, the Celestial Realm, or whatever you like. That's right, it's that Heavenly Court, that Celestial Realm, naturally conceived after the Tiangang constellations have increased and strengthened. And…”

The Porter gave a wry smile and said, “And the passage to the Heavenly Court is also within our Mount Tai Domain.”

Xuan Huang was taken aback; he really didn't know that.

No wonder the Emperor of Mount Tai was willing to open the passage and let him go to the Yellow Springs. It turned out he was being attacked from both sides.

Above was the soon-to-be-born Heavenly Court, and below was the already-emerged Yellow Springs Hell.

Mount Tai is a sacred mountain connecting the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. It seems the prophecy has come true, and it really is connecting the three realms.

“Fellow Daoist understands now, right? Although our Mount Tai Domain is a top-tier domain, the pressure we face is immense, with both the Yellow Springs Hell and the Heavenly Court Celestial Realm. Moreover, the connected passages are not simple extensions, but real three-realm passages, far from the kind of strange extensions used by the Seven Heavens.”

“Although we are not weak, facing the Seven Heavens, which are a level above even top-tier domains and can nurture True Saints, is something we cannot stop. In the future, we only have two choices: either submit or be destroyed.”

Without any errors, one song, one launch, one internal, one appearance, one presence, one look!

“Originally, we had prepared for the worst in such a situation, but after Fellow Daoist appeared, a glimmer of hope, however faint, emerged. Fellow Daoist can save the Mount Tai Domain.”

As he said this, the Porter's gaze changed, and he looked at Xuan Huang with burning intensity.

This made Xuan Huang a little nervous, as if he had been exposed.

Although he didn't really have anything to expose.

“What do you mean by this?”

Xuan Huang asked, not understanding.

Upon seeing this, the Porter acted as if it was just as he expected: “Before, we were ignorant… um…”

The Porter suddenly paused, embarrassed, and said, “Fellow Daoist, you understand, being born in Mount Tai, we always feel awkward when using certain words, even though we are Mount Tai people.”

“I understand, continue!” Xuan Huang didn't laugh.

“It's like this: it is said that Fellow Daoist personally guards the most mysterious Gui Xu Heaven of the Seven Heavens. We weren't sure before, but Fellow Daoist's methods of retaliating against the alien-religion domains cannot be faked; we have seen it.”

“Not only that, but when I came to Fellow Daoist's Daoist field, Qingyun Mountain, and passed through the Dream Realm Gate, I also felt the aura of the Dream Realm Heaven, and even a bit of the Blood Sea Heaven and Bitter Sea Heaven's aura, which is even more amazing.”

“Fellow Daoist, do you know that you are violating taboos, and even violating many Heavens? What's even more amazing is that you are not having any problems at all, which is hard to understand.”

“Oh?” Xuan Huang really didn't know about this and asked, “Is there any explanation for this?”

“Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang, the explanation for this is significant,” said the Porter.

“You are exploiting, exploiting the Seven Heavens. Let me ask Fellow Daoist, our top-tier domain should have had many visitors recently, right?”

“Yes, many.”

The Porter continued, “But has Fellow Daoist received any greeting gifts? Have you not thought about it? …Don't you think we are all uncivilized barbarians? …Even if we don't understand, what about those guys in the Confucian Temple? Don't they understand etiquette either?”

“Huh?” Xuan Huang was stunned. It was true.

These guys all came empty-handed; not a single one brought a gift.

“Fellow Daoist, don't be confused. Let me tell you, the reason is simple: we can't bring anything out of the domain, that's the reason. And Fellow Daoist has more things from the human world than we do, so bringing them would be useless, that's the reason.”

Xuan Huang seemed to suddenly understand and asked, “What's the relationship with the Seven Heavens?”

The Porter said, “I was just giving an example. Fellow Daoist, think about it, now that the myriad realms are merging, the Seven Heavens and the domains are also growing and merging. Currently, they are all like gluttons, only eating and not spitting. If you bring out any items, it will weaken the domain and be rejected by the domain's Heavenly Will, and the Seven Heavens are even more so, even more excessive than the domains. Does that make sense to Fellow Daoist?”

Xuan Huang understood half of it, and half of it he didn't understand.

“So I violated a taboo and exploited the Seven Heavens?” Xuan Huang said as he thought.

As he spoke, the other half that he didn't understand also became clear: “But the Seven Heavens…”

He stopped abruptly, not continuing.

But the Porter said it for him, “But the Seven Heavens have no way to deal with you.”

“Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang, this is an important premise for the Emperor to want to cooperate with you. We don't want to know your secrets, and we don't want to know them, because knowing them might make us disappear faster. We just want to cooperate.”

“Not right?”

Xuan Huang suddenly asked, “As far as I know, there are quite a few who can enter the extensions of the Seven Heavens and benefit from them, not just me. My good brother Bi Xia has benefited from the Dream Realm, and my other good brother, Old Dragon, has also benefited from your Mount Tai Domain…”

“And obtained the benefits of our Mount Tai Stone, we know that, but it's not the same.”

The Porter was all about being open and aboveboard, without any reservations.

Knowing that there was a little dragon stealing from their home.

“How is it not the same?”

The Porter: “They are spirit masters who control the strange, we call them demonized. Fellow Daoist, you are different, you are not demonized, you are cultivating.”

“That is to say, they are half-strange and half-human, equivalent to a type of strange… Do you think they would dare to steal benefits after their fourth-order true self is condensed and they have completely refined the strange into themselves?”

“Fellow Daoist, the strongest in this realm is the Heavenly Dao, and its branches are the Heavenly Will of the Seven Heavens and our domain's Heavenly Will. The Heavenly Dao is transforming, and the myriad realms are collapsing, which means that the strange are destined to revive. The Heavenly Dao's iron law is that the strange are the sons of heaven. Would our domain, or even the Heavenly Will of the Seven Heavens, dare to disagree? Would the sons of heaven dare to have an opinion if they took some benefits from you?”

“You are different.”

The Porter said finally.

“I understand. Fellow Daoist, tell me how we can cooperate,” Xuan Huang completely understood.

Actually, he didn't really understand.

It was a high-end game played when the golden divine soul entered this realm, which he still doesn't know about.

He was just barely muddling through.

“It's very simple, the Seven Heavens have no way to deal with you, so you don't need to worry. You can take this opportunity to grow, develop your own power, and spread your own Daoist methods. As long as you continue to become stronger, the Qi Luck of the cultivators will naturally become more prosperous. When the dust settles and the creatures of the Seven Heavens are nurtured, you will already have great strength and Qi Luck, and they will have no way to deal with you, because at that time you will already be an unshakable point in this realm, and shaking you is equivalent to shaking the foundation of this realm… We can also maintain ourselves from being destroyed through this.”

In short, their plan was to be rogue partners.

To enrich themselves at the expense of the public, constantly growing until they couldn't be toppled.

At that time, even if a seventh-order True Saint was nurtured in the Seven Heavens, they would not dare to easily attack him.

Because his death would shake the foundation of this realm.

Of course, the main point was the Qi Luck shaking, not the strength.

No matter how strong the strength was, it wouldn't work. (End of chapter)
