Chapter 533 Emperor Ku Arrives
Chapter 533 Emperor Ku Arrives
"Dad, if this goes on, I feel like I'm going to explode."
Inside the Tianmen East Courtyard, Bai Fengdu grabbed his head helplessly, "Look at me, my hair is almost falling out lately."
Bai Tian smiled bitterly: "There is nothing we can do now. There are too few people in Tianmen now. We can only rely on people like you."
Bai Fengdu sighed in frustration, "Before, before the Buzhou Mountain Project even started, I was worried that our Tianmen wouldn't have enough prestige. Now it seems like, Dad, you're really awesome!"
Ever since the bustling event at Mount Buzhou half a year ago, Tianmen has been very busy.
One part needs to go around to search for and register masters in the world, while the other part needs to welcome the masters who come and ascend on their own!
I have to say that after so many years of cultivation, there are still many masters in the world.
In fact, Bai Tian had estimated long ago that the number of people who could meet the ascension standards should be between three hundred and five hundred.
Of course, most of them are concentrated in Jiuzhou Tianguo, Tianzhou Shangguo and Nanguo. There are relatively few masters in other places.
It is not easy to send all these masters to Penglai Island. After all, these people are very powerful, and Tianmen’s power is far inferior to theirs.
However, for the past six months, Bai Feng had been personally involved. He would kill anyone he spotted, and including the incident at Mount Buzhou six months ago, a total of thirty-five people had been sent in during the past six months.
The main problem is that the world is too big and Bai Feng needs to run around, which is too troublesome.
But there was no way to do it during the day, no teleportation array, no other way to jump between spaces. Only Yinglong was fast, otherwise it would be even more difficult.
"Dad, do you think we can go directly to Tianzhou or Jiuzhou and let them come and queue up for ascension?" Bai Fengdu asked.
Bai Tian smiled bitterly, "Donghua has already raised this question before. It's possible, but Tianmen shouldn't do this."
"Fengdu, what Tianmen is doing now is offending all forces. There is bound to be a siege later. No one can change this."
"It won't be long before a group of experts will attack our Tianmen. I'm just waiting for that day to come."
"Before that incident, we will do what we can. Tianmen still has a long way to go before it can truly grow stronger. Our current focus is actually on Mount Buzhou."
Bai Fengdu pondered: "Dad, do you mean that we need this period of time to make Tianmen stronger quickly?"
Bai Tian nodded: "Yes. However, this is actually very cruel to the people of Tianmen. Your mother just didn't want to see this, so she went to Penglai."
Rapidly improving strength will result in eternal constraints.
Moreover, this kind of constraint only brings eternal busyness, and means forever becoming a tool of Tianmen...
Without waiting to think about it, Bai Tian's mind moved slightly, and he sighed heavily: "Fengdu, someone is coming. I'll go to meet him... Forget it, you go and meet him in."
Bai Feng was stunned: "Who is it?"
Bai Tian sighed softly: "You'll know when you go..."
Bai Feng didn't dare to ask, so he turned and walked out. During the day, he set up chairs in the yard.
After a while, Bai Fengdu came in, followed by two people. An old man... No, two old men.
Both were dressed in white, but their appearances were quite different. The one in front, with white hair and an unsteady gait, was Cang Shu. The one in the back, looking more steady, was Emperor Ku, also known as Ji Jun.
Bai Tian had never expected that Emperor Ku would come in person. You know, he is the ruler of the Kyushu Heavenly Kingdom...
After walking over, Emperor Ku bowed and said, "Haotian lives forever!"
Bai Tian nodded slightly and said softly, "Sit down and talk. It's been a while since we last parted."
After the two sat down, Bai Tian sighed softly, "Ji Jun, to be honest, I don't really want you to come. Your coming means that the situation in Jiuzhou is much worse than I expected."
Emperor Ku smiled bitterly: "Haotian, it seems you have guessed it. After the incident at Mount Buzhou, the Nine Provinces became even more chaotic."
As expected, the masters were about to be taken away, and the people below were bound to be in chaos. Moreover, the emergence of the Ascension Path would shock many people's secular concepts, further compounding the chaos.
Emperor Ku continued, "However, at least the three cities of Heaven will not be in chaos. Besides, I have already abdicated."
Bai Tian was stunned: "You chose to abdicate at this time..."
Emperor Ku smiled and said, "Times of chaos are the time for change. It's the perfect time for young people to do what they want."
Bai Tian nodded knowingly: "So you came here this time to ask for time?"
Emperor Ku nodded without hesitation: "Yes, they have just come to power, so it will take some time. Of course, it will not affect the Ascension Island plan."
"But you have to know that subsequent events will progress faster than you and I expect." Bai Tian sighed softly, "Even I can't predict what will happen next."
"That's why I'm here, and I don't plan to go back." Emperor Ku said with a smile, "Haotian, I don't have much time left. It's time to put other things aside and do something for myself."
During the day, he smiled for a while, then he smiled.
Cang Shu also smiled: "Haotian, it has always been from Jiuzhou..."
Yes, Haotian has always belonged to Jiuzhou!
It wasn't that Bai Tian favored Jiuzhou, but Jiuzhou was actually very good to him. They would help him with whatever he needed, and most of the time, they had absolute trust in him.
From Taichu Fuxi to the present Emperor Ku, generation after generation has never changed their support for Haotian!
Bai Tian thought of Fuxi again, and his eyes gleamed with light: "Since you can come, I believe that the future of this human world is bright..."
What they bring is not combat power, but strategy.
It makes things much easier if you have someone to discuss things with during the day.
The Tao cannot be understood without explanation.
The path to immortality, the path to ascension, and so on, all require someone to think and comprehend. Emperor Ku and Cang Shu are very insightful and can offer many suggestions...
Of course, it is difficult to buy more time for Jiuzhou Kingdom because the situation is out of control and we need to find a way to control the situation.
Tianmen is unable to fully control the chaos of the three forces of Tianzhou, Jiuzhou and Nanguo.
However, Emperor Ku brought a lot of good suggestions.
He suggested that Tianmen needed to set up a department dedicated to collecting information, and the department should be divided into two parts, one for collecting information and the other for processing information.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about it before, but Tianmen is just starting out now, so it’s a bit difficult to achieve this step.
However, since Emperor Ku had proposed it, he naturally had a solution. He suggested recruiting some people from the Nine Provinces who were good at controlling flying birds, but not letting them enter the Heavenly Gate first, but setting up a station outside the Heavenly Gate.
Emperor Ku and Cang Shu also have many insights into the path of reincarnation and the Ascension Island.
Emperor Ku’s idea was that the path of reincarnation could not be rolled out all at once, but had to be released bit by bit in order to wear down the masters on Penglai Island.
What really amazed Bai Tian was Emperor Ku's analysis of the current situation and his way of controlling it.
During the day, I always felt that Emperor Ku was playing chess. He knew how to use checks and balances to balance the forces of all parties.
Bai Tian vaguely saw an invisible thing from Emperor Ku, the art of emperorship...
While Bai Tian lamented the Emperor Ku's abilities, he also lamented the predicament of the Nine Provinces Heavenly Kingdom. Even Emperor Ku could only retreat to three cities, so one could only imagine how rotten the Nine Provinces Heavenly Kingdom was now...
For a period of time afterwards, except for occasionally going to the reincarnation passage near Wanghu Lake to look for Zhang Bairen during the day, he spent the rest of the time in Tianmen.
With the help of Emperor Ku and Cang Shu, everything in Tianmen progressed smoothly. The Ascension Island plan continued to spread, and Bai Fengdu's reputation as the "envoy who rewards good and punishes evil" became increasingly famous.
One day, Su Ling came back and brought Bai Yang back with her.
Bai Tian was very surprised: "Su Ling, why are you back?"
Bai Yang pouted: "Dad, those people want to die."
Bai Tian was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"What else can it mean? Those people who were sent to Penglai felt that we had locked them up, and they wanted to die." Su Ling was full of depression.
It turned out that the dozens of experts sent over during this period had lost their minds!
They had always believed that ascension was a scam, so they didn't want to live anymore and collectively threatened to die.
Those people couldn't defeat Su Ling and Dong Hua, and couldn't escape from Penglai Island, so they started to commit mass suicide!
I was speechless just listening to this during the day. These people are crazy. Donghua has already conveyed the concept of Ascension Island to them, why don't they understand the situation?
If it weren't for the situation, who would want to imprison them? They were just a bunch of old men and women, not very efficient at their work. They just wanted them to immerse themselves in studying the path to ascension or something else.
"It's so hard to get them to fully immerse themselves in research during the day," Su Ling said with a hint of melancholy. "I've talked them to death, but they simply won't listen. I've lived all these years in vain. Sometimes I even want to strangle them all to death."
Bai Tian smiled bitterly. These old men and women were too stubborn. It was really a headache.
After discussing with Emperor Ku and Cang Shu, Cang Shu proposed to go to Penglai.
Bai Tian didn't quite agree. Cang Shu was already very old and he couldn't stand the hardship any more.
At present, all masters who capture Penglai will die, including Cangshu and Diku, because they do not practice the way of immortality. On the contrary, people like Xiangliu and Dayi practice the way of immortality. Even if they cannot achieve immortality, their lifespan will be greatly increased...
Seeing Bai Tian's thoughts, Cang Shu showed an old smile: "Haotian, I don't have many years left. If you don't make efforts while your body is still strong, you will regret it when you really can't make any more."
"Ji Jun and I came here this time without intending to return alive. We have already explained our final plans to our children, and they all treat us as if we were already dead..."
"We failed to manage the Nine Provinces Heavenly Kingdom well, and we were not able to achieve the glory of Zhuanxu and others. However, we have not forgotten the aspirations of Taichu."
Bai Tian was quite moved by what he heard, so he made up his mind: "Okay, then I'll go with you."
Cang Shu nodded: "But Haotian, I still want to experience the ascension myself. Only by experiencing it myself, I can speak more clearly when I get there."
Emperor Ku took over the conversation: "Haotian, after you leave, those people's plans should be launched..."
"Tsk, let them come if they want." Su Ling curled her lips in disapproval, "Anyway, I've been very angry lately."
Bai Tian pondered and said, "It's time to let them know that besides me, Haotian, there are other people in Tianmen..."
So, a few days later, Cang Shu "ascended" into the heavens, and then Jiu Yin wrapped Cang Shu in an illusion, while Bai Tian followed Jiu Yin, and they went to Penglai together...
However, after Cangshu was sent out of heaven and entered Penglai, he did not wake up.
We thought he was dead during the day, but he was still breathing, but he seemed to be unconscious.
This made Bai Tian sigh secretly, thinking that Cang Shu might not be able to wake up after entering Jiuyin's illusion.
Bai Tian tried to send power to Cang Shu, but it didn't work. Helplessly, Bai Tian could only take him to Penglai first. Of course, Da Bai Long came to pick him up.
Penglai was still a paradise on earth, but with the arrival of the Yanri tribe, many new houses had appeared on Penglai. These were very grand houses, but they were not yet completed.
Donghua came over and was surprised to see Bai Tian and the sleeping Cang Shu.
"Haotian, why did you come here in person?"
Bai Tian sighed, "If I don't come soon, there will be no one here. Let's settle him down first... Forget it, Dabailong, just let him lie on you."
The big white dragon didn't care and left with the sleeping Cang Shu.
Donghua smiled bitterly, "They are indeed more stubborn than I thought. No matter what I say, they won't listen. Seven have died, and now there are still twelve who want to die. The others are not so bad."
Less than forty people came in, but seven died, and twelve more are dying...
I can only say that it is really difficult to control people's hearts!
Donghua told everyone about the recent situation in detail. The people who were sent in at the beginning were actually relatively lucky because they were all knocked down in Buzhou Mountain and then forced to be sent in, and many of them were injured when they came in.
But later, as more and more people showed up and their injuries improved, they started to make some noise.
They first protested and wanted to leave, and even threatened to attack Donghua. However, they couldn't defeat Donghua, so they began to shift their attention to other people.
"Several members of the Yanri tribe were killed, and those people killed them intentionally. They even wanted to kill all the Yanri tribe members and destroy the Ascension Island plan."
"Haotian, honestly, sometimes I really want to kill all those people..."
Listening to Donghua's story, Bai Tian's expression calmed down.
"Go and see..."
The Yanri tribe lived separately from those masters, with a palace under construction in the middle.
At this time, almost all the people of the Yanri tribe were busy building the palace, while the masters were either in their own wooden houses or lying leisurely in other places.
As daylight arrived, the people of the Yanri tribe stopped working and came over to greet them happily.
I had a very good impression of this Sun Tribe during the day. They were simple, hardworking, and rarely had any unnecessary thoughts.
For them, the greatest pleasure is to live a good life and build a house.
Sometimes people really need to learn to be content...
After some greetings, Bai Tian softly said to the old patriarch, "Patriarch, are you adapting well here?"
The old chief laughed and said, "We think it's great. This place has everything, and we don't even need to eat here. But those people think it's not good, and they even want to kill us. I don't understand."
The people next to him echoed: "Yes, Haotian, we really can't understand why they don't want to be here, but instead want to kill us."
"It's so nice here. There are no ferocious beasts. I can practice cultivation whenever I want, build a house whenever I want, and I don't even need to eat."
"I think their brains are broken. They are no longer human, but like wild beasts..."
