Chapter 89: Brothers Are Like Clothes, Women Are Like Limbs

With the matter here settled, Xiao Yan returned to Beidou, his Sage Body gradually reaching the perfect state of Crimson Blood Perfection.

During this period before the new emperor was born, he became the Unkroned Sovereign of the universe, enjoying a blissful life with his family.

He would often stroll through the starry skies on the golden path, traversing all realms, helping the world rediscover faith in the Yin Sovereign Emperor and the Solar Sage Emperor.

Shaohua, on the other hand, remained on the Ziwei Ancient Star.

The Yin Sovereign Emperor and the Solar Sage Emperor still needed careful attention; any unexpected changes would be disastrous. She didn’t want to leave any loose ends that could bring harm to the world.

"The Path of Faith is not suitable for me. This method of immortality is not what I desire, at least not now. Perhaps it will be useful in the future", Shaohua murmured to herself.

She delved deeply into the Great Dao of Amitabha Buddha, restoring his ancient methods and pondering many questions.

Amitabha Buddha possessed astounding wisdom. During his lifetime, he spread his faith, founding a lineage that has endured through generations, with his name chanted by countless people.

He even achieved the Annihilation Dao Fruit, which could extract the consciousness of the past Buddha from the hearts of the masses, gradually accumulating and reshaping it, hoping to one day be reborn.

But would that really be him?

Or would it still be the same him?

Bloodlines would gradually become mottled, and the transmission of spirit would inevitably change.

Amitabha Buddha was the epitome of compassion and kindness, never harming a single living being, not even an ant when sweeping the ground, and protecting moths by covering lamps with gauze.

But could even the most devout believers among those who followed him achieve the same?

Ants cannot see the full form of a celestial dragon, and the masses cannot understand the heart of a Buddha.

Even if this method succeeded, the one who returned would not be the original person but a supreme, omnipotent "Buddha" in the hearts of the masses.

Even the weakest of mortals has the power to change gods and Buddhas.

Shaohua lowered her eyes, her gaze slightly dim, wary of this.

Therefore, she left an avatar in both the Yin Sect and the Solar Sect, absorbing their faith and quietly guarding them while studying their profound mysteries.

She herself also bore a vast amount of faith, having lived for thirty thousand years, and after achieving enlightenment, she had accumulated many merits, gathering a significant amount of faith from the masses.

However, most of it was used to consecrate her sword, merging it with the Mortal World Sword.

In the North Black Sea, an island floated peacefully. Shaohua sat on the stump of the Fusang Divine Tree, accompanied only by a broken cauldron.

The cauldron contained a divine spring, and she took a handful of divine liquid from her life spring and poured it in.

A green lotus had taken root in the cracks of the green cauldron, thriving with vibrant life, as if it were a living world, enveloped by chaotic mist.

The green lotus emerged from the water, no more than half a meter long, with only three green leaves, exuding a natural Dao essence, as if explaining the origin of the universe, where Dao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three beget all things.

The three-leaved green lotus and the Ten Thousand Realms Primordial Cauldron merged, creating a strange and profound aura, like an unfathomable Dao abyss, serene and tranquil, seemingly eternal and indestructible.

Compared to the casual setup of the Yin Sovereign Emperor and the Solar Sage Emperor as her backup plans, this one was particularly troublesome.

If she accidentally nurtured the Green Emperor away, that would be a big problem.

"It's almost blooming", Shaohua extended her long, fair hand, easily piercing through the chaotic mist in the cauldron to touch the bud just beginning to show its tip.

A tiny lotus bud, just showing its tip, was being poked and prodded.

The green lotus swayed, sprinkling divine light, and a vague consciousness awakened.

This was not the Green Emperor of the future, as it had not yet developed true intelligence, only the life instinct of an immortal herb.

The Immortal Lotus was a divine herb from the Mythical Era. However, it had undergone a rebirth and turned into a seed that disappeared.

Now, Shaohua had obtained it, but she wasn’t sure what to do, so she nurtured it in the immortal cauldron, where it began to take root, sprout, and grow leaves.

In a few more days, it would likely bloom and produce lotus seeds.

She casually picked up a strand of her smooth hair, twirling it between her fingers. After much thought, she decided to stop worrying.

Originally, she only had a small copper plate for it to take root, but now she had moved half the cauldron. What else could she do, spend her days lecturing the green lotus?

Hmm, it seemed she had already done that when she carried the lotus seed with her.

Immortal herbs cannot transform into human form and cannot break free from the constraints of order; this has been a timeless consensus.

Perhaps the Chaotic Azure Lotus is special, able to break free from its shackles with the help of an immortal artifact, manifesting true intelligence and taking on a human form.

Shaohua no longer dwelled on it. The future was unpredictable, even for her.

Even she couldn’t guarantee that every transformation would be successful, which was why she left various backup plans.

She walked the path, stopping to focus on the present, sincerely seeking the Dao, step by step toward the future.

Stepping out of the North Black Sea, she took a single step that spanned a million miles, mountains and rivers receding, the stars shifting, heading toward the inhabited areas of the ancient star.

She walked the path, her graceful and slender figure barely concealed by her black robe. Unfortunately, ordinary mortals lacked the wisdom to see through and appreciate her divine beauty.

A small city, filled with ancient charm, had a river flowing through it, willows swaying by the embankment, a picturesque spring scene.

For Shaohua, aside from needing a stable environment during her transformations, there was little difference between seclusion and wandering the world.

She had once walked through the world of mortals, but her visit had been fleeting, nothing more than a brief glance.

This time, she planned to walk through the world again, taking the time to appreciate the sights she had previously overlooked.

As she walked, she came across two young men, both with an air of distinction, and she couldn't help but pause and observe them.

One of them wore a white robe, his presence as pure as snow, his demeanor as refined as jade, truly transcending the mundane.

The other was equally remarkable, dressed in a green robe, his appearance strikingly handsome, exuding an indescribable charisma and charm.

Of course, that was all intentional on his part.

Shaohua could see through him at a glance. Despite being close to the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, his Dao Palace lacked the necessary essence.

Driven by desire, even with extraordinary talent, he would find it hard to achieve greatness.

His companion, on the other hand, had a solid foundation, showing great potential.

Then, she saw the two men turn their steps and head straight into a pleasure quarter known for its vermilion sleeves and lively atmosphere.

Shaohua: "."

Was it too late to retract her thoughts?

So, they were just two frivolous playboys!

A former emperor lamented the decline of the world and the loss of noble hearts!

"Hey, Hengyu, why did you choose to meet me in this small place this time? Did some holy maiden chase you again?" the man in the green robe whispered.

"You're the one being chased. Think positive, will you? I'm the one everyone loves, the one who makes flowers bloom. A mere holy maiden would just throw herself at me!" the man in the white robe replied with a smug smile.

"Looks like you really were chased by the holy maiden of the Yin Sect. Did you really spy on her while she was bathing?"

The man in the green robe knew his companion all too well. He poked his friend's waist, a mischievous smile flashing across his face. "Did you bring the Heavenly Mirror Crystal? Share it with your good brother."

"No, no. If I had the Heavenly Mirror Crystal, I would have been killed by the Yin Sect long ago. It was just an accident, I didn't see anything!"

"Stop poking me there, will you? What if you damage something?" the man in the white robe snapped, swatting away his friend's hand.

"Hey, hey, we're brothers. I'll treat you today."

"Good brother, forever and ever!"

Shaohua watched as the two men entered a magnificent pavilion, her steps hesitating for a moment before a faint smile appeared on her face. She turned and followed them inside.

"Hengyu?"

If this was the "Hengyu" she knew, things would get interesting.

A man in white, a man in green, and a man in black were all in the same pavilion, but the latter seemed to have vanished until he suddenly appeared beside the other two.

"Brother..." The man in the white robe turned around and found an additional person beside him, his heart immediately on high alert.

Oh no, oh no, oh no, this can't be someone from the Yin Sect, can it?!

His green-robed friend quietly summoned divine power, ready to abandon his companion at any moment.

As the saying goes, brothers are like limbs, and women are like clothes. You can do without limbs, but you can't go without clothes.

For a brother, you might take a few arrows, but for a woman, you could stab your brother twice.

If he were to fall here today, how could he ever enjoy life again?

Rest in peace, Hengyu. I'll carry on your legacy and become an emperor, building a vast harem in the universe!

"Cough, cough, I just followed you two instinctively. It's my first time here."

In the eyes of the two men, the sudden appearance of the young man in black, with his clear and handsome face, showed a hint of nervousness, trying to maintain a calm demeanor, simple and unfeigned.

The two men immediately understood, and their faces simultaneously broke into teasing smiles.

Innocent and pure, they loved this kind!

If they could corrupt, no, lead this one to join their ranks, the sense of achievement would be no less than seducing a holy maiden.

"Hehehe~ Brother, we meet by fate. Today, follow your big brother and broaden your horizons", the man in the green robe patted his chest, looking like a paragon of virtue.

The man in the white robe was hesitant, feeling something was off, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

This Cloud City was a relatively remote place in the northern Luchow region, with only a few minor cultivation forces around.

The young man in black, with his clear and handsome appearance, looked like a disciple from a major force on his first solo journey, finding everything new and interesting. So, it wasn't strange that he followed them to this pleasure quarter, right?

"What's your name, little brother? I'm Yun Che, just call me Big Brother Yun", the man in the green robe said.

The young man didn't answer directly, his gaze shifting to the other man in white, as if waiting to hear his name.

"Call me Gu Hua", the man in white said after a moment of thought.

When traveling, it was wise to have a few aliases, just in case one day he achieved greatness and something went wrong.

"What about you, little brother?" The two men were also curious about the young man's background.

The young man touched his nose, then smiled, teasing them, "My surname is Jiang, my name is Hengyu. Just call me Jiang Hengyu."

"Spit!" Yun Che spat out a mouthful of wine, and the man in white, known as Gu Hua, stiffened, quickly turning to flee.
