My construction materials are weird

"What's going on?" In the Martial Temple Domain, Lord Wu'an murmured, sensing something.

He was in seclusion, but woke up after sensing something and asked Peng Yue, who was on duty.

"Lord Wu'an, please take a look. This is a message from Venerable Chang'e of the Moonheart Domain."

Peng Yue, the King of Peng, solemnly handed the message to Lord Wu'an.

After reading it, Lord Wu'an was instantly enraged and snorted coldly, "B*tch… Ahem, Venerable Chang'e is muddle-headed. Why didn't you say something like this sooner?"

Lord Wu'an almost misspoke. There was nothing he could do; the hierarchy was there. Chang'e almost exclusively held the hopes, beliefs, and fantasies of the Xia Kingdom regarding the moon, and her essence was higher than his.

"Ahem, Venerable Chang'e also has her difficulties," Peng Yue, the King of Peng, smoothed things over.

"What difficulties? It's clearly a lack of courage, womanly compassion, and a lack of decisiveness." Without mentioning names or cursing, Lord Wu'an was much bolder.

He added, "She certainly picked up a bargain, benefiting from Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang's light. Sometimes, things really aren't fair."

King Peng Yue couldn't respond.

Speaking of fairness, he was the one who was pitiful. Where was he inferior to someone else? He was only a Fourth-Order True King.

He could only sigh with bitterness.

"A bargain isn't so easy to come by. Contaminating oneself with Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang's karma must be repaid. Lord Wu'an, you should understand," Peng Yue said.

"I know. I'm just a little indignant. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang is alright. If anything had happened to Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang, she would be a sinner to my entire Huaxia lineage of sacred beings, hmph!"

Lord Wu'an was still indignant as he spoke.

In the Literary Temple Domain,

things were much more civilized, but Yan Hui and Zuo Qiuming's expressions revealed that they were very angry.

Previously, they had been optimistic about Xuan Huang and wanted to befriend him, but now, they were bound to Xuan Huang, a binding of mutual interests.

At least, within Xuan Huang's jurisdiction, the sacred beings of the Literary and Martial Temples could establish temples and receive worship.

Returning kindness for kindness, the two major domains supported him so much that he wouldn't be without a response.

He had already instructed the Four Greats to build temples and offer sacrifices. The Four Greats had done this before, but this time, they had specific divine positions.

And the divine positions had specific targets.

Previously, he collected faith for his own use, but now, what was his belonged to him, and what belonged to the sacred beings of the Literary and Martial Temple Domains belonged to those sacred beings.

Moreover, the faith and incense they received were more than the living beings raised by the sacred beings of the domains.

This kind of binding of interests was the key to the current mutually beneficial and progressive relationship between the two.

"It really confirms the miraculousness of Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang. If he wants to disappear, no one can stop him, not even if they lock onto him. Now we can rest assured," Yan Hui said.

There had been rumors before that Xuan Huang came from Guixu and could disappear whenever he wanted.

This time, it was verified to be true.

The enemies would be annoyed, but these allies of theirs were happy.

It represented that their ally had unparalleled life-saving abilities, and no one could do anything to him.

"Is it a method or a divine power?" Zuo Qiuming asked, not seeking a deep understanding.

"It doesn't matter. Even if it's a method, such a miraculous method is already a great divine power, a great teleportation divine power, or a great escape technique," Yan Hui said.

Zuo Qiuming nodded, "That's right. Methods and divine powers don't matter. What matters is whether a method is better than a divine power."

"Yes!" Yan Hui nodded, "Venerable Chang'e said that Greed fell, and the other two Venerables were stripped of their power and demoted. What do you think?"

"Me?" Zuo Qiuming shook his head, "I don't understand. It's quite discouraging to say, but we are the sacred beings. Why do I feel that Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang's importance is even stronger than ours? Otherwise, why would the Heavenly Dao punish the three of them so severely?"

"It's like it's being done for certain beings to see?" Yan Hui said thoughtfully.

"Yes, yes, you're right. It's like it's being done for certain people to see, punishing us sacred beings for a certain being to see? But…" Zuo Qiuming was stunned.

"Unspeakable, unspeakable, forget about this matter," Yan Hui also felt the importance of it.

Let's not talk about it. It's best not to even think about some beings. Thinking about them is also wrong.

If you think of them, they will pay attention to you. Being watched by such a being is enough to make your scalp tingle.

"Phew! You're right," Zuo Qiuming cupped his fist.

The two decided not to mention this topic; it was too terrifying.

"No matter what, Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang is safe, and we don't have to worry about his safety… If I have something, he won't have anything," Yan Hui said dejectedly.

"Ahem, you're overstating it," Zuo Qiuming didn't know how to respond.

"Hey, how many times have I said it? Don't 'you, you, you' all the time. Just call me Fellow Daoist. You're always so polite… As for whether I'm wrong, you understand, Fellow Daoist," Yan Hui waved his hand.

"I'm still not used to it. I'll change, Fellow Daoist," Zuo Qiuming smiled.

In fact, he understood what Yan Hui meant by saying this. There was nothing to talk about anymore, so let's disperse.

He was using reminding him to call him Fellow Daoist to end the conversation.

Scholars are always so long-winded.

Soon, the two separated and went to their respective tasks.

In Xuan Huang's controlled area of the Guixu Small World, the area he controlled was no longer measured by will.

The enhancement of will was one aspect, and the fusion of the golden divine soul of the Zhenling Stele was another aspect.

If Xuan Huang wanted to expand his control over Guixu, area was no longer a problem. After all, he could still rely on the white divine soul and his own supreme treasure.

But sustainability was the key. Xuan Huang didn't over-expand the area.

He still kept it within a very small range.

He was afraid that he would control too much, leading to insufficient power in Guixu.

After all, he still needed Guixu mist to temper his will. If he wanted to control it, he would have to wait until the Fourth Order.

Of course, he was just overthinking it. It was obviously impossible for a mere Third-Order will to control the entire Guixu.

It was just that he was much more carefree. Unlike in the beginning, he liked to measure his strength by area and quantity.

Now that he had grown, he no longer liked illusory numbers, but rather how many methods he could use and how strong he could be.

"It's over!"

The sense of crisis disappeared without a trace. Without thinking, he knew it was over outside.

"Hey, he still used a tactical retreat."

Xuan Huang said speechlessly.

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. What is wrong with this尊? A Fourth-Order King made a move, a move that violated the rules of heaven and earth. This尊 just didn't want to take risks."

Once he understood, he felt relieved.

Xuan Huang flashed and returned to the place where he had just fought.

When he reappeared on the moon, near the Moonheart Domain, everything seemed the same as when he left.

It was just that the surrounding area was already in ruins, caused by Greed's attack.

"Moonheart Domain? Greed?" Xuan Huang looked towards the Moonheart Domain.

He didn't expect that they were the ones who made the move.

"The backwaters are always bold and ignorant. None of the Blue Star Holy Lands dared to make a move. Don't they understand?" Xuan Huang said with a bit of wicked amusement.

To be able to mix to this extent, to become someone that everyone is afraid to provoke, seems not bad.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang, may I approach you for a word?"

Just as Xuan Huang was pondering, a gentle and pleasant voice sounded.

Upon hearing it, Xuan Huang roughly understood who it was.

"Yes!" Xuan Huang also wanted to know the specifics.

Immediately, with a flicker and a shift, he arrived at the edge of the Moon Heart Domain.

The moment Xuan Huang arrived, it instantly triggered a violent fluctuation in the Moon Heart Domain.

Although the Moon Heart Domain lacked intelligence, it understood what had just happened; this jinx had caused 'Dad' to confine it and educate its children.

Why did this evil star come? It triggered a tense reaction from the Moon Heart Domain.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to cause you trouble."

Regardless of whether it understood or not, Xuan Huang reassured it.

Whether it truly worked or was an overreaction, the Moon Heart Domain did quiet down.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang."

Chang'e hadn't expected such a big reaction.

She was a little caught off guard, not expecting the domain's consciousness to react so strongly.

"Reverend Chang'e!" Xuan Huang responded.

Xuan Huang wasn't really interested in her; not because he blamed her for not reminding him, but because he simply wasn't interested.

Despite it being his first time meeting a sixth-order Reverend, Xuan Huang didn't feel a trace of nervousness.

Furthermore, it wasn't the real Chang'e he was seeing, but a contact with her divine soul across the domain.

It was just a virtual phantom.

"I'm truly sorry that, as fellow members of the Huaxia lineage, I didn't remind you. I wouldn't dare hope for your forgiveness, but I hope you understand my difficulties," Chang'e immediately apologized.

Xuan Huang was a little flattered.

Looks like she got quite the lecture; what did she experience to value me so much?

As for Chang'e talking about forgiveness?

That didn't exist.

He didn't hold a grudge against her at all; it was a favor for someone to be willing to inform him, and normal for them not to be willing.

There wasn't a single mistake in terms of emotion or reason.

"Reverend Chang'e, you jest. There's no such thing as forgiveness; I never thought that way," Xuan Huang said.

That was exactly what Chang'e was afraid of Xuan Huang saying.

What Chang'e least wanted to hear was this.

Even if Xuan Huang was angry, that would be fine; anger meant he cared.

Not caring at all, even ignoring her, was the most difficult thing.

"Alas!" Chang'e sighed: "In any case, I hope you'll forgive me. I did have selfish motives, but I never intended to harm you. I even tried to stop it multiple times, but my words carried little weight and I couldn't do it."

For a Reverend, she had already placed herself very low.

To say such a thing was truly rare.

"Reverend Chang'e, there's no need to be like this. I really don't have such thoughts," Xuan Huang said, pretending to be ignorant despite understanding.

He knew that Chang'e wasn't talking about that, but he just pretended not to understand.

"Fellow Daoist, you displayed great power this time, and your divine abilities are unfathomable. I've broadened my horizons…" Since Xuan Huang 'didn't understand,' Chang'e understood as well.

Chasing after it wouldn't be good, so she changed the topic, praising Xuan Huang's unfathomable divine abilities and profound magic power.

"You flatter me," Xuan Huang politely said: "I wonder what happened to the one who plotted against me?"

"I was just about to tell you about that," Chang'e said, being very accommodating: "The one who attacked was Greed. The reason for his attack is likely to have hidden circumstances. His crime was devouring his own kind. After being stopped…"

Chang'e didn't hide anything, describing the process to Xuan Huang in detail.

After the description, Xuan Huang understood.

This Greed was probably also being controlled, or someone had used methods on him.

What a coincidence that he needed to launch a sneak attack on him to redeem himself; how could there be such a coincidence?

Moreover, according to the Long River's description, Greed was a small god system, yet he dared to plot against Diana, a Holy One of the Reverend faction; this simply didn't make sense.

"Greed completely perished under the punishment of heaven and earth. Diana and Mani had their essence struck down by the Heavenly Dao. This is the price they paid for plotting against you," Chang'e told Xuan Huang about the enemies' fate.

Xuan Huang completely understood.

No wonder Chang'e was so polite; so that's how it was.

Anyone who experienced such a thing would be very polite and careful with him.

He was simply the Heavenly Dao's favorite son; the punishment was too severe in their eyes.

They were only the domain's favorite sons; the Heavenly Dao was two levels higher.

The level above was the Holy One born in seven days, and above that was the treatment of the Heavenly Dao's son.

In comparison to Xuan Huang, they were like Xuan Huang's grandsons.

Of course, this was just an example; Xuan Huang wasn't the Heavenly Dao's favorite son.

"I even benefited from the disaster. I was originally nurturing the essence of two people, but because they were cut down by the Heavenly Dao and could not be compensated, their essence was transferred to me," Chang'e even told Xuan Huang this secret.

It had to be said that she was already very sincere, sincerely wanting to gain Xuan Huang's approval.

"Congratulations, Reverend Chang'e," Xuan Huang congratulated.

Taking the benefits gained because of him, telling him as a secret, and then wanting to get his approval?

Xuan Huang didn't agree with this deal.

"Mm!" Chang'e nodded, feeling a wave of disappointment in her heart.

As expected, it still didn't work; it was so difficult.

She, a dignified Reverend, was humbling herself to seek someone else's goodwill; it was truly outrageous.

But thinking about the Heavenly Dao's 'favor,' Chang'e felt that it wasn't excessive at all.

Xuan Huang didn't know Chang'e's detailed mentality; if he did, he definitely wouldn't approve.

How could he possibly be the Heavenly Dao's favorite son in this realm?

It wasn't the same thing at all, okay?

He was a 'good friend' that the Heavenly Dao had a headache with but couldn't cure.

It was mutual respect between good friends, definitely not the treatment of a favorite son.

Are you looking down on me, actively downgrading me?

Chang'e now fully agreed with one thing, which was the rumor that Xuan Huang was a Gui Xu creature.

She now firmly believed that Xuan Huang was the only creature in Gui Xu.

Because only a being born in seven days could suppress her and these domain Holy Ones, and their status was naturally stronger than her and other Holy Ones.

That's why the Heavenly Dao 'favored' Xuan Huang.

Moreover, it was rumored that the Gui Xu Heaven was the most special, with no creatures existing, and Daoist Xuan Huang was the only one; the value of the only one would only be higher.

She firmly believed this at this moment.

"I still don't quite understand, why did the two of them do this? Did they think their strength surpassed the Holy Land's domain?" This was the only thing Xuan Huang currently didn't understand.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say, but the purpose of the two of them doing this was to integrate into the circle of top-tier domains in the Holy Land… They were instigated to do so by those hostile top-tier domains in the Holy Land," Chang'e said with a bit of heartache.

After all, her own domain was so不堪, it was really embarrassing.

"Oh?" Xuan Huang paused, asking: "Was that all?"

"This?" Chang'e paused for a moment.
