Chapter 361: This Saintess Is Too Cautious
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
What Cui Heng needed to accumulate now was naturally not his cultivation realm, but the feedback from the transformation of this world.
The transformation of Purple Sun Star had been going on for ten years.
Although the speed of advancement was extremely fast, Purple Sun Star was too big. Limited by the problem of communication of information, many places could not be ruled effectively, let alone establish new rules of order.
But even so, it increased Cui Heng’s feedback greatly.
In the past ten years, his accumulation had increased greatly.
In the Purple Mansion Golden Hall, the Nascent Soul’s body was already filled with purple-gold light. This light spread endlessly, as if it had no end.
An incomparably mysterious charm was brewing on the Nascent Soul.
As long as he accumulated enough purple-gold light, Cui Heng could begin to prepare to officially break through to the Soul Formation realm.
This required the complete transformation of the Purple Sun Realm.
According to Cui Heng’s own estimation, it would probably take more than a hundred years.
After all, Purple Sun Star was too big. It was simply as difficult as ascending to the heavens to establish a kingdom with unified laws on such a huge planet.
This would definitely take a long time.
Other than Purple Sun Star, there was also a situation on Tai Cang Star.
Just as Cui Heng had expected, as long as a stable order could be implemented and bring tangible benefits, there was no need to implement it externally. Tai Cang Star would take the initiative to learn it.
This was indeed the case now.
After ten years of implementation, Purple Sun Star and Divine Might Star became safer and more stable. Tai Cang Star spontaneously began to learn and mimic this kind of order.
In order to speed up their learning, Cui Heng sent Zheng Nanxun over to guide the reforms on Tai Cang Star.
Of course, in order to ensure her safety, the Nine Fire Flame Dragon, Huo Si, who had already reached the Mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, went with her.
Now that the rules of order on Purple Sun Star were being implemented in an orderly manner, and Tai Cang Star had also begun to take off, Divine Might Planet was the first to encounter some trouble.
The source of this trouble was the White Lotus Lifeless Sect that had yet to be completely destroyed.
Divine Might Planet.
Great Zhou Imperial Palace, Qinzheng Hall.
Li Mingqiong sat on a chair and frowned slightly. She closed her eyes and pondered.
She was very puzzled by what was happening in the Great Zhou.
After more than 20 years of progress, the Great Zhou had already occupied more than half of Divine Might Planet. Even the places that had yet to be occupied already had experts in place to suppress the White Lotus Lifeless Sect.
Therefore, from three to four years ago, the believers of the White Lotus Lifeless Sect could only hide in a corner.
Moreover, there were constantly believers who gave up their former faith and turned to the Great Zhou. It was as if the situation was completely hopeless.
If nothing unexpected happened, Li Mingqiong was confident that she could take down the entire Divine Might Planet within ten years.
However, in the past year, strange things have happened frequently.
The people who had already settled down in the Great Zhou and even married and had children suddenly gave up on their originally harmonious family and ran to the ravines to continue worshiping the Holy Mother of White Lotus.
Moreover, they were the lowest-level believers. Even if they were found by the people of the Great Zhou, they had no intention of repentance and even wanted to commit suicide.
This was completely abnormal.
The Great Zhou had order and rules. Everyone was equal in terms of the country’s laws.
Even the most ordinary mortals had the same rights and safety as the Creators, but their division of labor would be different.
Life was also very prosperous and safe. People did not have to worry that they would never wake up again.
If they ran away from the Great Zhou to worship the Holy Mother of White Lotus, not only would they lose their stable and rich living environment, but they would also have to live every day in danger. They would have to worry every day about whether they could see the sun tomorrow.
Most importantly, they would be greatly oppressed.
In the White Lotus Lifeless Sect, believers of different levels had completely different statuses and authority. The believers who defected from the Great Zhou were at the lowest level, and their status was even worse than cows and horses.
Under normal circumstances, anyone with a normal mind would not give up their life in the Great Zhou to worship the Holy Mother of White Lotus.
But now, something was very wrong. The number of people who defected from the Great Zhou actually increased year by year. Recently, there was even a matter of everyone from a county defecting to the depths of the mountain to worship the Holy Mother of White Lotus.
At first, Li Mingqiong thought that the Creator realm expert of the White Lotus Lifeless Sect had taken action, so she sent the Yellow-scarved Strongman to investigate, but she did not find any traces.
Those who had defected from the Great Zhou had all changed their minds without warning. They did not even make any preparations before running off. They did not even bring food with them and left empty-handed.
“Why is this happening?” Li Mingqiong frowned, puzzled.
Actually, she also wanted to ask Cui Heng, but after careful consideration, she gave up on the idea.
After all, Cui Heng was in seclusion studying books. She did not want to disturb her master’s cultivation.
Moreover, governing the country was her own cultivation. In her opinion, this was a problem that she should solve alone. She could not trouble her master for everything.
Otherwise, this would not be her cultivation.
“Could it be that the Holy Mother of White Lotus has made a move?”
Li Mingqiong’s heart skipped a beat as she thought of the supreme god worshiped by the White Light Lifeless Sect.
Cui Heng had once told her that this Holy Mother of White Lotus was a real God.
She was extremely powerful and could not be underestimated.
Actually, after Cui Heng learned about the situation with the Holy Mother of White Lotus, he planned to directly destroy the White Lotus Lifeless Sect on Divine Might Planet. But after checking the condition of the ordinary people on Divine Might Planet, he gave up on this plan.
Once these ordinary people lost their faith, they might directly collapse or even commit suicide.
Hence, while Li Mingqiong expanded her territory, she used the Yellow-scarved Guardian God to preach and take over the empty spiritual worlds of ordinary people to complete a smooth transition.
However, the recent situation had already made it impossible for it to be smooth.
“Originally, I wanted to personally go to the White Lotus Lifeless Sect to investigate. Now, it seems that it’s still too dangerous to do so.” Li Mingqiong thought to herself, “If it’s really this Holy Mother of White Lotus, then I have to look for Master.”
As an Emperor who had ruled the country for hundreds of years, she knew very well that it was important to be careful when something happened. It was impossible for her to do something as stupid as risking her life alone and letting Cui Heng save her.
Therefore, after suspecting that a God was using divine powers against her country, Li Mingqiong immediately gave up on the idea of taking action herself and decided to report it to Cui Heng first.
However, she was busy with the Great Zhou and could not leave immediately.
Moreover, to her, the safest place was in the Great Zhou. Therefore, she sent someone to look for the Yellow-scarved Strongman and asked him to look for Cui Heng to explain her guess.
After making these arrangements, Li Mingqiong pondered for a while and muttered, “However, I can’t just wait for Master to help. I have to make some preparations first.”
Then, she sat cross-legged and closed her eyes, entering a meditative state. Her divine sense instantly emptied, and then everything in the entire Great Zhou appeared in her perception.
This was a unique method of the path of national fate. As long as one she entered a meditative state, she could see everything within the country. Even an ant could not escape her sight.
As long as she entered this state, Li Mingqiong, the Emperor, would know everything in her country.
100,000 miles away from the western border of the Great Zhou, there was a vast and boundless desert. It was extremely hot all year round, and the ground was as if it was on fire. It was difficult for ordinary people to even survive here.
However, in the middle of this desert was an oasis that occupied an area of ten kilometers. It was filled with vitality.
In the middle of the oasis was a huge white-jade lotus statue. Surrounded by them was a magnificent palace. There was a plaque hanging on it:
Holy Mother of White Lotus Palace!
This was actually the headquarters of the White Lotus Lifeless Sect on Divine Might Planet, and also the place where the White Lotus Goddess had descended in legends.
Even now, every thousand years, a Saintess would appear out of thin air here. She would bring the decree from the Holy Mother and guide the sect forward.
Therefore, to the White Lotus Lifeless Sect of the Divine Might Planet, this was the core of the core, the holy land of the holy land. It had an unparalleled special meaning.
Just a year ago, the Saintess of this generation appeared out of thin air here.
She brought the decree of the Holy Mother of White Lotus and said that someone was bullying her believers in this realm. She wanted the people of the White Lotus Lifeless Sect to immediately attack, capture them, and burn them alive.
Of course, the sinner was powerful and they could not act rashly. Moreover, his whereabouts were hidden. He had to be lured out first.
Hence, in the past year, there had been people who often defected from the Great Zhou to worship the Holy Mother of White Lotus.
Actually, it was all the work of this Saintess.
At this moment, in the Holy Mother of White Lotus Palace, the current Sect Master of the White Lotus Lifeless Sect, Song Tan, was kneeling on the ground. His attitude and expression were very respectful.
In front of Song Tan was a white jade lotus throne with a young girl sitting on it.
She looked to be only 16 or 17 years old. Her facial features were exquisite, and her face was picturesque. Her appearance could be said to be extremely beautiful. She sat on the lotus throne and formed lotus seals with her hands, looking holy and mysterious.
Her eyes were bright and penetrating, as if they could see through all the illusions in the world. As long as one looked at her, they would feel their body and mind empty, as if they had returned to their most primitive and pure state.
This was the Saintess of the White Lotus Lifeless Sect who had descended here a year ago.
“Saintess, there’s still no movement from the Great Zhou.” Song Tan lowered his head, not daring to look at the Saintess at all. His tone was incomparably respectful.
“Then continue letting more people come over,” the Saintess said indifferently. “One day, that person won’t be able to stand it anymore and will jump out himself. Only then will I be able to attack.”
“Yes, Saintess.” Song Tan nodded, but he was a little puzzled. Why didn’t they attack directly? Why did they have to use such a method to lure the snake out of its hole?
“You have doubts?” The Saintess saw through Song Tao’s thoughts.
“I wouldn’t dare.” Song Tan hurriedly shook his head.
“Speak.” Her tone was still as calm as an ancient well as she said indifferently, “Actually, even if you don’t ask, I know what you’re thinking. Why don’t you just say it?”
“…” Song Tan was silent for a moment. In the end, he took a deep breath and asked, “Saintess, you seem to be a little afraid of Cui Heng? Actually, with your strength, you can completely kill him.”
“Is that so?” The Saintess shook her head gently and said indifferently, “You know his true strength?”
“After the Heaven Realm disappeared, no new Lord of the Heavens was born in the myriad worlds. He should be a Dao Lord.” Song Tan voiced his judgment. He was originally very sure, but after hearing the Saintess’ tone, he could not help but doubt his analysis.
“How can someone who dares to steal the faith of the Holy Mother be just a small Dao Lord?” The Saintess smiled faintly. “This person must have something strange about him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such guts.
“There’s no lack of unexpected experts in this world, so we have to be careful no matter what we do. Let’s test him bit by bit first to lure the snake out of its hole and slowly figure out his strength.
“When we make a move in the end, we must have complete confidence in success and have the determination to win. Only then can we resolve the problem in one go.”
