Back then, Chen Jiuyang felt indebted to Monk Puhui.
But now, reborn and returned…
He no longer thought so. It was Monk Puhui who had forced him onto the path of the Human Emperor…
“This old monk Puhui also has secrets… daring to enter the Crippled Elder Village back then and lead me away…”
“There’s definitely something wrong…”
“If he doesn’t show up today, it means he’s still lying low somewhere…”
It would be best for this old monk Puhui to never appear before him again in this lifetime.
Thinking this way, the Peng Zu ruins in the Qinling Mountains and that large tree also had issues…
He should try to avoid all the pitfalls he had stepped into in his previous life.
Getting into the car, Chen Jiuyang closed his eyes and activated the Life Book in his Sea of Consciousness.
Life and Death Register – Life Book –
Host: Chen Jiuyang
Lifespan: Four hundred and eighty-three.
Cultivation: Golden Core.
Destiny: Emperor of Immortals Bearing (Light Red), King of Immortals Bearing (Crimson), Martial Dao Unsurpassed (Deep Purple).
After refining the Martial Dao Law, the King of Immortals Bearing destiny changed from light red to crimson…
Then, Chen Jiuyang drove towards Fengcheng.
A drive of three to four hours gave Chen Jiuyang plenty of time to ponder many things.
“The Martial Dao is a means of offense and killing…”
“What I need now is an ultimate defensive law…”
Chen Jiuyang had not forgotten his experience in the Nine Nether Myriad Tomb in his previous life. The methods of the Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors were too terrifying, subtly ensnaring you until you died without even knowing how. It could be described as unfathomable.
“The three origin great daos of ‘I,’ ‘Forget,’ and ‘Chaos’ should be excellent defensive means…”
“I must find another way… to ensure my own normalcy and not be influenced by others’ origin great daos…”
“As for origin laws related to time, there’s no need to even think about it… Like the Time Immortal King, who was jointly executed by all factions just for achieving Immortal King status, it’s too dangerous…”
“If possible, I should seek out the great Confucian scholars of the Confucian Dao at Jixia Academy to research this, but my current identity prevents me from contacting anyone from Jixia Academy…”
“And in this era, there is another anomaly…”
“That old bald donkey from Shaolin Temple, the Martial Saint of this era…”
“After I deal with the current matters, I should go and find him to ask.”
Chen Jiuyang called Fang Bahua: “How is it, have you entered the Earth Realm?”
Fang Bahua chuckled on the other end of the phone and said, “I just stepped into the Earth Realm these past two days, waiting for my lord to inquire.”
Fang Bahua was talented and loyal, a martial arts fanatic, but due to his background, he couldn’t obtain cultivation techniques.
However, there were too many people like him in the world. The Yao family, with hundreds of billions in assets, couldn’t get a single cultivation method, nor could those who were lucky enough to obtain one, like the Heavenly King Alliance.
In this era of declining Dharma, resources were too scarce. The major factions couldn’t even satisfy their own needs. If they distributed cultivation methods, resources would be even more insufficient.
But once destiny began to recover, all major factions would start recruiting disciples widely.
“Alright, come out. I happen to have something for you to do,” Chen Jiuyang said, hung up the phone, and then sent him an address.
A few hours later, Chen Jiuyang met Fang Bahua.
“Plop–”
Fang Bahua immediately knelt on one knee before Chen Jiuyang, cupped his fists, and said solemnly, “Thank you, my lord, for your life-renewing grace!”
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, “No need to be so formal.”
As he spoke, he tossed him several bottles of pills and bestowed upon him the subsequent cultivation methods.
Fang Bahua’s eyes reddened with excitement, his voice trembling, “My lord… trusts me this much!!!”
“You don’t need to call me my lord either,” Chen Jiuyang said, helping Fang Bahua up. “Just call me Young Master. I know your character, and I naturally trust you.”
“For the next period, I will be busy with some matters, and I have some things to entrust to you.”
Fang Bahua bowed slightly and said respectfully, “Please instruct me, Young Master.”
“First, you have now entered the Earth Realm. Go find Xi Butui and take on a mission. You will be enfeoffed locally. I need you to become a titled marquis.”
“Second, there is a person named Deng Zun in Fengcheng. He runs a small martial arts school. Like you, he was struggling to advance in martial arts without a true method.”
“I need you to bring him under your wing and work for me together.”
“Yes, Young Master, I will definitely complete the tasks you have assigned!” Fang Bahua was deeply grateful and had already become Chen Jiuyang’s most loyal subordinate.
This matter, he had proven over the long years of his previous life.
“Third, I will be going out to handle some matters. I need you to secretly protect my several confidantes. I will provide you with sufficient resources, and you can recruit some subordinates. If you encounter trouble that you cannot resolve…”
“You just need to make these two calls, say you are my person, and someone will help you deal with the trouble.” Chen Jiuyang gave Yan Wang and Zhou Fangzun’s phone numbers to Fang Bahua.
“You don’t need to ask who these two people are.”
“Yes, Young Master.” Fang Bahua firmly remembered these two phone numbers.
“Alright, come with me. Today I’ll take you to meet some of my confidantes and let them get acquainted with you. Get in the car.”
Chen Jiuyang, driving his Mercedes G-wagon, first took Fang Bahua to the Qiu family.
If he remembered correctly, that girl Yihan had just turned seventeen not long ago, and she would only turn eighteen before the Fengcheng Martial Ranking Competition this year.
Currently, entangled by the curse of the Heavenly Charm Sacred Body, her situation within the Qiu family was not good. Apart from her father, Qiu Hongtu, who protected her, no one treated her kindly.
This would provide Chen Jiuyang with an opportunity to approach Qiu Yihan.
In the vast Qiu family manor, despite it being the Lunar New Year, Qiu Yihan could only eat alone at home.
“Creak–”
The door to the villa where she lived was pushed open. Chen Jiuyang walked in, carrying a large pile of gifts.
Qiu Yihan, eating pitifully with her bowl in hand, looked up with a confused expression as Chen Jiuyang entered. “Who are you? Are you looking for my father?”
Qiu Yihan at this moment was still like a pure white piece of paper, untouched by any pollution.
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, “No, I’m here for you. To give you some New Year gifts.”
Qiu Yihan blinked her large eyes and said, “But I don’t know you.”
Chen Jiuyang put down the gifts and said, “My name is Chen Jiuyang, and you are Qiu Yihan, right?”
Qiu Yihan slowly nodded her small head.
“Then aren’t we acquainted now?” Chen Jiuyang said with a smile.
Qiu Yihan blinked her large eyes again and said, “You’re quite interesting.”
“What do you want from me?”
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, “I think you are very beautiful, so I wanted to get acquainted with you.”
Qiu Yihan felt no malice from Chen Jiuyang, and the curse on her body did not react to Chen Jiuyang.
Instead, she inexplicably felt a sense of closeness to Chen Jiuyang.
This was because Chen Jiuyang had already taken the Yan Sheng Blade, exclusive to those who faced the love tribulation of the Heavenly Charm Sacred Body.
Qiu Yihan blinked her large eyes and asked naively, “How do you want to get acquainted with me?”
