Chapter 4582
Xiao Hua waited for a while longer. Seeing that the two little ones were no longer moving, he sealed the two different spaces and left.
"Phew …" Xiao Hua looked at the fields and let out a long sigh. A smile appeared on his face as he thought to himself, "Although I don't know how Little Yellow and Little Black absorbed the soul essence, and the way they absorbed the soul essence is different, Xuanhong said clearly that the soul essence is the most mysterious thing in the world. Any existence that can be passed down through the soul essence has unlimited potential. When the two little ones awaken, it will be the time when the Heaven-devouring Beast and Di Ting reappear in the world!"
After dealing with Ao Sheng and the two little ones, Xiao Hua's figure was now in the air. He looked down at the boundless paddy fields, villages, and people with a smile in his eyes!
All those years ago, when he sowed seeds in the Fiendgod Blood Swamp, it was only a spur of the moment idea, and he couldn't bear to let the swamp become desolate. However, he'd never imagined that in just a little over two hundred years, the Fiendgod Blood Swamp that caused one's expression to turn pale just now had already become a paradise that protected an extremely large number of refugees!
Now, in Xiao Hua's eyes, this magnificent scene was far more impactful than what he had heard before!
However, there was no paradise in this world that didn't need strength to support it, and there was no paradise that wasn't coveted by others. In just fifty years, the Xiao Empire that no one dared to probe before was now being probed by the devil's claws, even though Xiao Hua, who founded the Xiao Empire, was already a Mahayana Stage human.
"Previously, when this Xiao was not strong enough, these literary sages might have felt that this Xiao wasn't a threat and only admired me. But now that this Xiao's strength has surpassed theirs, their mentality has changed?"
Xiao Hua pinched his chin and thought to himself, "Or perhaps they are busy with other things and have put the Xiao Empire's matter to the back of their minds?
Although this Xiao is already a Mahayana Stage human, after returning to the three continents, I only made a thunderous strike in the Thousand Demons Sacred Realm and then disappeared without a trace. I didn't express my attitude towards the Xiao Empire's matter, so this caused those ambitious Confucian cultivators and Daoist cultivators to have ideas?
"Yes, this Xiao has to ask Xiong Yi and the others for their opinions. I don't want to let a good thing that is beneficial to the people end up in an unsightly state …"
It was also at this time that dawn broke in the east. A ray of sunlight crossed the horizon, wiping away the remaining darkness between heaven and earth, rapidly enveloping the entire earth. A new day had arrived!
Xiao Hua habitually opened his mouth and a bit of sun essence fell into his mouth. Before he could swallow it, the crystal-like godhead hidden in Xiao Hua's brain slightly trembled again. Countless power of faith gushed out from all over the Hidden Immortal Continent and fell into the godhead, turning into faint crystal threads!
Looking at the ground again, in the village, countless villagers, old and young, rushed out of their houses and stood on the ground. Under the effect of the crystal godhead, the entire Xiao Country, and even outside of the Xiao Country, hundreds of thousands of miles away, no matter the distance, even the mortals, could clearly see Xiao Hua's appearance. Billions of people, who were regarded as ants by cultivators, all knelt on the ground in the morning light. Without any rhythm or command, everyone kowtowed from the bottom of their hearts. "Greetings, Spiritual Master Xiao!
Thank you, Spiritual Master Xiao, for saving our lives! "
"Swoosh …" Xiao Hua's eyes became blurry all of a sudden. His silent tears couldn't help but fall down. What he did was merely an unintentional action. Yet, in the eyes of these ordinary people, this unintentional action was even more important than the heavens!
They couldn't help but place all their hopes on him!
This kind of faith … was not only a kind of opportunity, it was also a kind of heavy hope!
Seeing them, Xiao Hua couldn't help but think of his own parents. He didn't know whether it was him who saved these villagers or these villagers who helped him.
Xiao Hua had a lot of problems. His heart was soft, his ears were soft, he was indecisive, and sometimes he was even a little fussy. He liked to be a good person, but he had an advantage that others didn't often have, and that was gratitude!
Even if he was an ant in the eyes of cultivators, as long as Xiao Hua had the slightest kindness, he would repay it with gusto.
If it was someone else, seeing billions of villagers kneeling and kowtowing, they wouldn't be able to help but be high-spirited and full of vigor!
But Xiao Hua's first thought was whether he was worthy of these villagers' worship, and whether he could do something for the villagers' faith to repay the benefits brought to him by their faith!
Xiao Hua took a deep breath and raised his hand. Without using any magic power, he lifted the billions of villagers. Xiao Hua's voice reverberated within several thousand li radius, as if it was ringing in the villagers' hearts, "Everyone, please rise. This Xiao was born in a farmer's family. Although this Xiao has cultivated for a long time, seeing you is like seeing this Xiao's parents, like seeing this Xiao's family!
There are many goals in cultivation, either to defy the heavens with one's own strength, or to seek immortality by following the heavens.
But this Xiao has always thought that these goals are too lofty. This Xiao's goal in cultivation is to live a peaceful life, and to use my strength to protect the world's people when they are in trouble!
Since everyone believes in this Xiao and worships this Xiao, then this Xiao also swears that this Xiao will not let you down in this life, and my Fortune Gate will also not dare to let you down … "
"Ka-cha-cha …" Lightning rumbled within ten thousand li radius, and images of heavenly dragons, flying phoenixes, qilins, and other illusory images appeared. Thousands of auspicious signs rushed out from the void, covering the entire Xiao Country. While everyone was still in shock, the lightning gathered and condensed into a lightning bolt as thick as a child's arm, striking straight down from the sky.
"Daoist Xiao …" Everyone turned pale with fright, and their hearts trembled. Boom … The lightning bolt landed on Xiao Hua's forehead, and a dream-like Landscape Atlas appeared under the lightning bolt. It then entered Xiao Hua's body and rushed into the crystal-like godhead. Then, a kind of peace, a kind of tranquility, and a kind of absolute trust fell into the crystal threads connected to the godhead, transcending time and space, and filled the hearts of millions of villagers.
Feeling the same as Xiao Hua, millions of villagers had tears streaming down their faces. Whether they were young or old, that kind of gratitude and Xiao Hua's appearance were deeply engraved in their hearts.
"Master …" At this time, Xiong Yi's voice sounded, "Disciple has already captured all the Xiao Country's rulers and royal family's disciples!"
"So fast?" Xiao Hua was a little dazed. It had only been half a day ah.
Xiong Yi reported meticulously, "Good, Master knows that there are twenty-one Daoist countries near the Xiao Country, ten Confucian countries, and three Buddhist countries. Among them, two Buddhist countries and one Confucian country did not encroach on the Xiao Country's territory. The remaining thirty countries are nothing but ants in front of our Fortune Gate's army. Wherever our army passes, they crumble!
There is no decent resistance. "
"Good, you lead the way, we will return to the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range!"
Xiao Hua ordered, and took out the pegasus from his space. The pegasus stretched its neck and neighed, and with a flap of its wings, it rushed towards the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range.
"Respectfully sending off Daoist Xiao …" Millions of villagers couldn't help but cry and kneel down. They really hoped that Daoist Xiao would be with them and protect them for the rest of their lives, as well as their descendants.
However, they were clear that while they were busy all year round, working hard for their own livelihood, Daoist Xiao also had to cultivate. It was best for him to be himself.
It was a bright afternoon in the Fortune Dao Palace. Xiao Hua's chair was empty as usual, and there were four chairs placed in front of it. At this time, two of the chairs were occupied by Prince Lan and Li Xiang, while the other two chairs were empty. Below the high platform, there were some Golden Core disciples and Foundation Establishment disciples. Most of these disciples stood beside Li Xiang.
On Lan Lan's side, other than a few Golden Core disciples, there were also a few Spirit Severing disciples. These disciples didn't have any arrogance on their faces, nor did they show any special respect.
As for the Thunderbolt Immortal, Fu Zhiwen, and the other inner disciples, they weren't in the Fortune Gate Palace.
At this time, Lan Lan's cultivation had already surpassed Li Xiang's, approaching the late Nascent Soul stage. His gaze swept across the entire Fortune Gate Palace, and he said, "Senior Brother Li, I have something to discuss with you today."
Lan Lan's words carried a hint of discussion, but his gaze only lingered on Li Xiang for a moment before he looked outside the hall. There was a kind of authority and confidence in his voice.
"Haha, Junior Brother …" Li Xiang laughed, "What is it?
Junior Brother has already far surpassed me in handling the sect's affairs. Junior Brother can make all the decisions, and I will only be the advisor! "
Just as Royal Highness Lan was about to speak, his gaze swept past the Spirit Severing Disciples beside him, and his tone changed as he sighed, "Sigh … when Senior Brother mentioned planning, Junior Brother can easily recall the time when you, me, Xiong Yi, and Junior Brother Chang Yu racked our brains on how to develop the Fortune Gate. Sometimes, we even quarreled over some differences of opinion!
Although it was difficult at that time, looking back, it was true happiness!
Now, Junior Brother Chang Yu is gone, and it's impossible for us to return to that time! "
Hearing Lan Lan mention Chang Yu, Li Xiang's expression changed, and he sighed deeply. He looked at the disciples below the stage and said, "Yes, at that time, the four of us worked together to develop the Fortune Gate under the pressure of Confucian cultivators. We were afraid that we would fail to live up to Master's expectations.
Now that I think about it, the changes in the past few decades … are bigger than the changes in the past two hundred years! "
"Haha, it's not just big!
It's simply earth-shattering! "
His Highness Lan said proudly, "Master is a miracle, and in his hands, our Fortune Gate is also a miracle!
Although the three continents are big, which Daoist force can compare to our Fortune Gate? "
