Chapter 317: Meeting Yun Xiao (2)

Yun Xiao’s face was filled with confusion. To her, this matter was completely incomprehensible.

Zhao Gongming smiled faintly and said, “Sun Wukong is close to Yang Jian and Nezha, but that’s only on the surface. Back then, he caused a huge ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, and in the end, those people were the ones who fought with him. Sun Wukong was even captured by Yang Jian. No one knows if there’s any animosity in his heart. Furthermore, there are disadvantages to being close to Chanism and Western religions. Sun Wukong is not a benevolent person. There must be a reason why he brought that kid. There are many people who have lost their physical bodies in this world. Why don’t I see him bringing someone else? Perhaps he doesn’t want this matter to be known by the Western religions.”

One had to say that Zhao Gongming’s analysis was reasonable.

Sun Wukong had chosen Yun Xiao because he subconsciously wanted to reduce the possibility of Lu Ping being exposed.

After all, Lu Ping did not reveal any heavenly secrets. Although the two of them had already come up with an excuse, finding someone who did not have a good relationship with the Western Church would be more reassuring.

Yun Xiao looked at Zhao Gongming and smiled. “Then what do you mean?”

Zhao Gongming pondered for a moment and said, “I think it might be possible to help out with this matter.”

“Why?”

Zhao Gongming explained, “Now that you are Empress Chongxi, you will be heading to the southeast star domain in a few days. His Majesty’s meaning is very clear. All cultivators above the immortal level must be under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. In this way, you will inevitably have a conflict with some Western orthodoxies. It’s not a bad thing to be on good terms with Sun Wukong.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bi Xiao turned around and pouted, “Bro, you forgot that the two Western orthodoxies also attacked Master back then!”

Zhao Gongming shook his head and said, “The matter has already passed. Now is not the time. If we really talk about it, those descendants of the Chanism sect in the Heavenly Court are all our former enemies. Don’t we still have to face them in the same hall? If we really talk about what happened back then, everything was done by that senior of ours. He didn’t want to see our sect prosper, so he used this method to destroy the foundation of our sect. Now things have changed, and people are no longer the same as they were back then. We just have to be concerned about the present. It’s a long time ago, so it’s good as long as we know what’s going on.”

His meaning was very clear. There were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

In the hearts of many people from the Jie sect, they still missed the arrival of tens of thousands of immortals in the past. They missed the pressure and desolation of the past.

Even after the battle to ascend to godhood, the Golden Ao Island was completely closed down. The sect master of the Heaven sect no longer accepted disciples and didn’t care about the internal affairs of the sect.

However, they couldn’t. The Jieism sect was their memory and also their glory. It was something that they missed in their hearts.

Therefore, many people hoped to have the chance to revive the Jieism sect.

Yun Xiao becoming the emperor would definitely make it easier for the Jieism sect to do things in the southeast star domain.

At the same time, Zhao Gongming also knew that he couldn’t make enemies everywhere. In the past, he was proud of his cultivation and his heart was as high as the sky. However, when he was ambushed to death, he realized that sometimes, having too many enemies wasn’t a good thing.

Even the Heaven sect master, who was decisive in killing with the Four Swords of the Celestial Eradication, was still defeated by the combined efforts of all the saints.

Hearing his words, Yun Xiao said in a low voice, “Do you mean to help me with this matter?”

“Make a good connection. Who knows when it might come in handy.”

Zhao Gongming made the decision.

Yun Xiao pondered and said, “It’s not so easy to rebuild the body. You have to have the spiritual objects of Heaven and Earth.”

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “What’s so difficult about that? Just let Sun Wukong steal some of the lotus flowers in the Jade Lake of the Queen Mother. He’s good at this.”

Qiong Xiao rolled her eyes and said, “He’s at least fighting to defeat the Buddha now! Why would he do such a thing? But Sis wants me to say that you should agree to help and let them prepare the spiritual objects themselves. This can be considered a great favor.”

Yun Xiao nodded and said, “Go and invite those two in!”

Not long after, Lu Ping and Sun Wukong entered. When they saw San Xiao and Zhao Gongming, they greeted them one after another.

Lu Ping could not help but have mixed feelings in his heart.

He had never thought that he would be able to meet these mythical figures.

When everyone took their seats, Yun Xiao smiled slightly and said, “I already know why your young friend is here. Regarding this matter, I can help you. However, if you want to rebuild her body, you will need to do a few things.”

Lu Ping quickly said, “Please tell me.”

“The first test is the foundation of the body. This body can not be created out of thin air. You must have a spiritual item with a pure nature before you can rebuild it.”

Lu Ping was already prepared. He directly took out the Heaven and Earth Spirit Lotus that the system had rewarded from his storage ring.

This lotus was extremely large. It was more than a meter wide, and it contained branches, leaves, and roots. It had everything.

In other words, the lotus root had everything.

Yun Xiao smiled and said, “It seems that both of you are prepared for this. Then, we will pass the first test.”

“The second test is as follows, if this child has karma, she will need incense and merit so that her soul can rely on it.”

Lu Ping was stunned. He was not sure about this, but logically speaking, Cui Mengyao should not have any karma.

At this moment, he remembered that after Nezha’s death, he had indeed built a temple for three years and received the incense.

He quickly released Cui Mengyao.

As soon as Cui Mengyao came out, she immediately leaned close to Lu Ping.

Lu Ping smiled and said, “Madam Yun Xiao, please see if my disciple is alright.”

As soon as Cui Mengyao came out, Yun Xiao and the others’ eyes lit up. Yun Xiao praised, “What a beautiful child.”

“Greetings, Madam.” Cui Mengyao bowed obediently.

A bright light flashed in Yun Xiao’s eyes, and then she smiled, “This child is not bad. She doesn’t have any karma on him, so she doesn’t need the power of incense and merit. This saves a lot of trouble.”

Then she said, “The third test is to rebuild the body. It will take a period of time— at least 81 days. Including some other preparations, it will take at least three months. During these three months, this child will stay with me. As for you guys, it’s not very convenient for you to stay.”

Hearing this, Lu Ping was still okay with it. Cui Mengyao reached out and grabbed Lu Ping’s arm, saying in a low voice, “Master…”

Obviously, she was a little scared.

Lu Ping sighed and comforted her softly, “Mengyao, these people are all immortals of the Heavenly Court. They are all good people. You can stay here in peace. After you rebuild your body, I will take you back to Fengming Planet to eat delicious food!”

Cui Mengyao also knew that this was a great opportunity.

She was just a little afraid of strangers.

Cui Mengyao nodded obediently.

Lu Ping smiled and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Madam. I’ll take my leave now!”

“Wait.” Suddenly, Yun Xiao called out to Lu Ping.

Lu Ping turned his head and asked curiously, “Madam, what’s the matter?”

“Can you tell me what’s the situation in the lower stage now?” Lu Ping was stunned and didn’t understand what she meant.

“What do you mean by that?”

Yun Xiao smiled and said, “The life of mortals, cultivation, law, and the situation of those immortal stage cultivators. Just tell me what you know.”

To be honest, she didn’t care about the human world.

Although she had some understanding of some things, most of them were unfamiliar.

She had become the empress of the southeast star domain. The most important thing was to know the situation of these ordinary people and make a judgment.

Simply put, if immortal stage cultivators disappeared, what kind of impact would it cause?

Would it cause chaos in the star domain?

To a certain extent, death was acceptable.

However, if this matter caused a large number of creatures to die before their lifespans were up, it would also be a kind of pressure for her.

She wanted to get some information from Lu Ping.

Lu Ping could not refuse Yun Xiao’s request. After all, he had asked for help just now. It would not make sense for him to just turn around and leave when the other party asked.

He immediately started introducing him to Yun Xiao.

Sun Wukong listened for a while and felt bored.

He stood up and said with a smile, “You guys chat. I’m going out for a walk. I’ll come back to pick Lu Ping up later.”

Yun Xiao said with a smile, “Great Sage, please do as you wish.”

As Sun Wukong left, Lu Ping was still talking. In fact, Yun Xiao understood some of the things in the lower stage.

However, there were many things that she did not personally understand.

Hence, she asked about them one by one, especially the various rules.

As Lu Ping spoke, he emphasized, “What I’m talking about is the situation on Fengming Planet. As for the other planets, they might be different.”
