"What is the Tao? What is righteousness? What is the law?"

Zhang Xiaochun asked himself and answered: "My actions are the Tao, my body is the law; I cannot distinguish between black and white, I determine the yin and yang myself."

"The so-called righteous path is to brand your life with right and wrong? This world is full of evil people, full of false people who are hard to distinguish. Those who disobey me will be slaughtered, and naturally I will be able to see their true appearance!"

"Since ancient times, it has been said that anyone can kill the evil demon, but is the winner true? And is the loser false?"

"The winner defines everything. If I say that Qingyun Sect is evil someday, what can you do?"

Lu Xueqi was so confused by Zhang Xiaochun that she didn't know what to say for a moment. The truth that Zhang Xiaochun told her was indeed contrary to her own understanding.

Bi Yao's eyes lit up as she listened with great interest, as it was not easy to get such big news concerning Qing Yun Sect.

"With the sword in my hand, I will create a prosperous era of immortal cultivation, a prosperous era where all people live and work in peace and contentment. Hundreds of years later, future generations will speak of my merits and demerits."

"Under such a powerful situation, perhaps by then, Qingyun Sect won't need me to spread rumors. As long as I do well enough, people will criticize me and I will become the evil that hinders the development of the times!"

Zhang Xiaochun extended his hand and invited, "What do you think? Do you want to join my Jiejiao and advance hand in hand with me, or give up this opportunity to prosper and linger on?"

"I have no idea……"

Lu Xueqi kept shaking her head: "I really don't know, I beg you to stop talking!"

Zhang Xiaochun raised his lips and whispered in Lu Xueqi's ear: "After you return to the cell, you can explain everything I said clearly to your master, the elders of Qingyun Sect, and even Taoist Master Daoxuan."

"I believe they will be smart people!"

Lu Xueqi walked away in a daze.

Bi Yao lazily lay on the chair and asked, "Did I act well just now? You evil-minded man, why don't you go and see your masters in person?"

Zhang Xiaochun climbed onto Bi Yao's shoulder in a familiar manner and said, "No need. If I go, it will be awkward. It will be better for both parties if Xueqi passes the message."

That’s right, in fact, the Ghost King Sect had already surrendered.

After all, the conditions Zhang Xiaochun offered were too tempting. That was immortality, and now the Ghost King Sect was gone. Since he couldn't resist, he might as well join.

What's more, for Wanrenwang, Zhang Xiaochun would marry his daughter. Where could he find such a son-in-law who was the best in the world?
It’s the same if your family members achieve your ambitions even if you haven’t realized them yourself!
Wanrenwang expressed that they surrendered willingly, without any oppression and absolutely without being coerced or bribed.

Now only the Qingyun Sect is left with a bunch of tough guys who swear to never join Jiejiao. Tian Buyi even cursed and said he was blind.

However, Tian Ling'er left the cell early and brought some food to see Tian Buyi from time to time. He did not lose weight due to hunger, but instead gained some weight.

It was unknown whether Tian Buyi really wanted to scold Zhang Xiaochun or was already overjoyed in his heart, but he had to pretend to be angry in front of Taoist Master Daoxuan and others.

"Draw the sword, the sword's heart is determined to break the cold light!"

"The moon is cool, and the red blood splashes on the green frost!"

Zhang Xiaochun looked at the flickering light of the Zhuxian sword in his hand. If Daoxuan and the other old stubborn people still refused to give in, he would have no choice but to fulfill his filial duty to his master.

In addition to the follow-up matters that need to be dealt with.

Zhang Xiaochun went to the Death Swamp again and packed up the Heavenly Emperor's treasury, so that he had all five volumes of the Heavenly Book. He also went to Southern Xinjiang to eliminate the Beast God, a future trouble. As for the Beast God, it was the fierce energy between heaven and earth that took shape, and it was immortal?

What a joke! The fierce aura from the Beast God was not enough for Zhang Xiaochun to refine the formation diagram of the Zhuxian Sword Formation!
At most, it would be enough for him to condense the phantoms of the sword light of the other three swords. Later, he could find some top-notch materials in other worlds to refine the Zhuxian Sword Light into the real Zhuxian Sword.

However, the giant tree in the Death Swamp gave Zhang Xiaochun a surprise. It was transformed from the remaining branches of the towering Jianmu tree, and its roots extended downwards, connecting to the source of the earth veins.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Southern Classic of the Seas records: "There is a tree that looks like an ox. When you pull it, it has a skin that looks like a tassel or a yellow snake. Its leaves are like a net, its fruit is like a yew, and its wood is like a yew. It is called Jianmu."

It was indeed the case when Zhang Xiaochun saw it. It was a giant tree that was completely beyond imagination, and the trunk was so thick that the end was in sight.

The tree trunk covered with rough bark stands tall like a huge hill, rushing straight to the sky and sinking into the mist, as if it has entered the clouds!
The trunk of the tree is hundreds of feet thick and as tall as a mountain. The two branches are of similar size and almost dozens of feet thick. They float horizontally in the air like two giant dragons leaping in the air.

In addition to the equally astonishingly thick branches on the huge trunk, it still stretches straight up to the sky, straight into the depths of the blue sky.

This giant tree seems like the ladder to heaven in ancient legends, going straight up to the blue sky!
If, as Zhang Xiaochun had guessed before, the Zhu Xian world was created by that leader, then the presence of the Jianmu tree here must have a deep meaning, perhaps it was a gift.

No matter what, since it has fallen into Zhang Xiaochun's hands, there is no reason not to make full use of it.

To be honest, even I don't have a decent spiritual root in my hand. The Lingyang Peach Tree may be one, but it is acquired after all.

Moreover, I have bred many second-generation exotic species in various ways, such as the Jade Peach, Ice Snow Peach, Purple-Striped Peach and so on.

It's like plucking all the wool from a sheep, but it also indirectly shows the scarcity of resources at my disposal.

Cultivating spiritual roots, the multi-faceted development of spiritual roots, and how to guide their benign mutations are not the forte of Zhang Xiaochun, the Taoist Master Shangqing Yujing.

This towering Jianmu tree may be handed over to Taoist Zhenyuan. After all, professional matters should be left to professionals.

----

Small primitive world, Daluo heaven.

Zhang Xiaochun replied, "Master, I have now torn the Zhu Xian world into pieces. Next, I need you to take action yourself and devour it."

The Supreme Dao Lord also agreed and said, "It would be good to end the Zhu Xian World as soon as possible. With the foundation of the Zhu Xian World, I, as the Heavenly Dao of the Small Flood Realm, may have the confidence to impact the level of the Small Thousand Worlds."

Lu Chun frowned: "Are you sure? Do you want to be more cautious and wait until the other Dao Lords merge another world before you break through?"

The Supreme Taoist shook his head: "The timeline of the world where the Yuanchu Taoist is located is still too early, there are still hundreds of years to go. There is no need to say more about the Zichen Taoist. It is still the Great Qin period, more than 2,000 years away from the world line."

"If I break through the Small Thousand Worlds earlier, I will be able to enter the Golden Immortal realm and comprehend the meaning of the Golden Immortal's immortality. If I'm lucky, I may be able to touch a trace of the power of the law."

"Rule is superior to law, and by then, we can swallow up the Wu Geng Ji world where Yuan Chu Daojun is. Besides, by sharing our strength, we can also help Zi Chen Daojun earlier."

"Preliminary observation is that in the super-god world where Daoist Lord Zichen is, although the two forces of void and anti-void can rewrite reality at will, they are still within the scope of the rules."

"But no one can guarantee whether the void creatures will violate the laws when they come later. After all, we don't understand them."

When Lu Chun heard the Supreme Taoist talking about the void creatures, his expression was indeed a little solemn.
