"Tao Master!" Youxue and the Shinto people led a large number of Shinto warriors over, swarmed around Honglian Taoist Master and a group of Shinto cultivators, and surrounded them. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Honglian Taoist Master waved his hand, "But it's strange that there are only so many Taoists from the Immortal Sect, and they didn't bring the ark - do they think we are unable to fight back, or...

…”

"——Taoist Master."

San, who had briefly chatted with Lou Wuchen before, said softly, as if to remind Taoist Honglian of something, but did not say more.

Honglian Taoist Master paused when he heard this: "...I'll pick out the important points. First of all, the integration of magic in the French Open is not ideal. When all the members cast the same spell at the same time, I can barely integrate the power, and each of them can do their own thing.

You can't do it during wartime. Besides..."

The Shinto people were recording silently, and the people who came to the door were also watching all this quietly from a distance. The way Master Honglian carefully summarized and analyzed the experience of integrating divine magic and immortal magic made them feel an indescribable emotion in their hearts.

Yun Hengguang turned his attention to Lou Wuchen beside him - this time he did not go with the Shinto people, but came with a few people who came to the door - it can be said that this is his disciple who has stepped into the realm of divine magic and immortal magic.

A breakthrough step in the integration, but is this good or bad for the door-to-door?

"...It's almost time. Basically, it's the above content. On this basis, you can boldly try one or two in the direction just mentioned. I'm done."

"Copy that." The three people named San responded seriously, and then the atmosphere suddenly changed, "Then Taoist Master, I'm offended!"

"?!"

The originally harmonious post-war seminar scene suddenly changed. The Shinto people unanimously took out the handcuffs that were hidden somewhere. Under the extremely shocked eyes of Lou Wuchen and everyone who came to the door, they silently turned to the Red Lotus Taoist Master and the pilot cultivator who had just gone out to fight.

Handcuff them!

"Wait! What's going on?!" Lou Wuchen couldn't understand what was happening at all. He strode forward and stopped in front of Honglian Dao Master, "What are you doing?"

"Fellow Taoists, what do you mean by this?" Shuishui Yaoguang also ran over at some point, "Fellow Taoist Honglian, aren't you the leader of your noble sect? What is going on?"

"...let me explain."

Youxue pulled Lou Wuchen and Shuishui Yaoguang aside, and said with a complicated expression: "Aura will make the user dependent, and a withdrawal reaction may occur after losing the aura, so..."

"Dependence? Withdrawal reaction?" Shuishui Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and looked at his disciples, "If there is such a thing, then why don't we have such a thing?"

"You have been in a spiritual energy environment before, so naturally you can't feel it." Youxue explained, "Yesterday, you entered the French Open in a stable state, and you were prepared in advance. You should be relatively stable before you come into contact with spiritual energy again.

, if you suddenly enter the restrictions of the French Open from a combat environment where spiritual energy is used intensely——"

At this time, several of the handcuffed Shinto cultivators suddenly began to breathe rapidly. Their faces turned red and white rapidly. They grabbed their chests in pain and fell down, convulsing like curled up worms on the ground.

They stood up. The people next to them quickly leaned over and held down their hands and feet, which seemed to stimulate them and made them appear even more restless and crazy. Lou Wuchen approached and saw a twisted picture through the gap in the crowd.

And the ferocious face:

"Reiki, give me Reiki! Just a little, a little is enough! A little bit will help me recover!"

Obviously, no one will respond

his request.

"Take it down!"

——————————————————

"Hey, you came to see me." In the independent prison, Honglian Daoist sat cross-legged and smiled at Lou Wuchen outside the door, "Don't worry, as long as you prove that you haven't been consumed by the desire for spiritual energy.

If you lose your mind, you can go out after three days."

"……Why?"

Lou Wuchen asked a little confused, but Taoist Honglian seemed to see through his doubts and explained calmly: "Because we need the power of immortal magic to compete with the immortal sect, but we cannot let ourselves be affected by the immortal magic.

Devoured by the power. And I am the current leader of Shinto. If I don’t take the lead, how can I let others do it?”

But this is too ridiculous! - Lou Wuchen wanted to shout, but found that he was completely speechless.

Could it be that this Honglian Taoist master, who is so powerful that no one in the world can defeat him, has always been fighting in this state?

"Don't worry too much." Taoist Master Honglian comforted Lou Wuchen, "This is your first time entering the French Open. As long as you don't go outside to come into contact with spiritual energy, spiritual addiction will not occur for a long time."

"That's not the problem at all?!" Lou Wuchen got a little excited, "You are the current leader of Shinto. Do you plan to let Shinto kill your own people while attacking the immortal sect? Are you planning to let the most powerful person in combat?

Pilot soldiers, are you going to fight wearing criminal shackles and nooses like this? That’s crazy!”

"Just because the power is strong, it must be restricted." Dao Master Honglian wanted to give an example like he usually did when communicating, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was caught by the straight iron chain, and he had no choice but to put his hand down again.

, "...Take me as an example - I am not arrogant, if I am addicted to the immortal way and become a cultivator who constantly pursues more spiritual energy -"

Lou Wuchen's heartbeat suddenly tightened, and the Honglian Dao Master's assumption made his back uncontrollably shiver: "But...it won't be to this extent, right? After all, you and these warriors also have

He has stronger power and has made more contributions with this power. It’s fine without extra preferential treatment, but it’s unjustifiable to be treated like a prisoner, right?”

"Just because the power is strong, it must be restricted." Dao Master Honglian repeated what he had just said, "If a person gets extra resources and rights because he is strong, then this extra treatment can make him become a

If you become stronger, according to this logic, you will gain more resources and rights and become stronger... This vicious cycle will distort people's will. People in the Shinto cannot pursue power in this environment."

There was silence in the cell for a while. After a long time, Lou Wuchen asked bitterly: "Then... what will happen to the people who were originally under the Immortal Dao system?"

"The gate on Dongliu Island..." Honglian Taoist Master raised his head faintly and looked at the sky in the distance covered by the roof, "Of course it is -"

————————————————

"Crazy! They are all crazy! The whole Shinto is full of crazy!" Ye Siling, the head of the imperial department, looked a little crazy, and shouted excitedly on the table, "You have all seen it, right? A group of mortals with no cultivation actually gave up to a group of monks.

, they even put handcuffs and shackles on a Taoist priest and detained him like a prisoner! It’s so crazy, so crazy!”

However, at this time, no one cared about Ye Siling's gaffe. Even Ji Mingfei, who has always been low-key and neutral and did not express his stance easily, couldn't help but agree: "Yeah... If I had known this, I might as well——"

——What else? Ji Ming

Not that he was wrong, but everyone present at the door understood what he meant: Although the Xianmen tried to seize us at first, they still gave us a chance to surrender and become second-class people. Now after being "rescued" by Shinto, they said...

Allies, but even their own Taoist priests shut them down as they say, and don't take high-level cultivators seriously at all! Now that the spiritual energy has been sealed and the magic power is gone, and they are relying on others to rely on mortals, such an ally is worse than a prisoner!

"Master!" Ye Siling looked at Shuishui Yaoguang, "Let's go! Leave here and return to the spiritual world that truly belongs to us cultivators!"

"...Let's go?" Shuishui Yaoguang looked around the main hall, "Let's not talk about whether others will let us go. Are you going to leave the Tiangong here, or drag it out step by step?"

"What kind of mark can activate the power of the Shinto in the Heavenly Palace? Your disciples and the boy from Qiguangyuan have it, don't they? Ask them to come and drive the Heavenly Palace out!"

"I have asked." Shuishui Yaoguang said coldly, "Shanggong and Ziwei's two marks are indeed on Wuchen's hand, and Youxue also has two marks on his hand, but the final imitation mark is on Honglian.

If the Tao Master himself has this amount, he will not be able to mobilize the power of that day!"

"Hate!" Ye Siling sat back angrily, picked up the jade bottle on the table and took a sip of it bitterly, "Damn it - uh, why is it gone again? Wu Shan!"

Ye Siling shouted while shaking the empty jade bottle. Things that could be done with a single spell now had to be shouted at the top of his voice. This made the anger in his heart grow more and more: "Bring me two more bottles of spiritual pulp.

faster!"

The rising star of the imperial ministry who was standing in the corner of the hall silently stepped forward and handed over the jade bottle. Ye Siling grabbed it, but Ji Mingfei held her hand down: "——Your Majesty, please slow down."

This move was like a fuse that ignited Ye Siling's pent-up emotions. He suddenly turned his head and glared at Ji Mingfei fiercely: "What? I, the majestic leader of the imperial department, don't even have the right to drink some spiritual jelly, and I still have to talk to the people below.

We can’t supply it in limited quantities for everyone!”

"...That's not what I meant." Ji Mingfei also looked a little dissatisfied, but he still restrained himself, "I mean, Your Majesty, you have drank five bottles in a row since just now."

"Five bottles?" Ye Siling's eyes widened. It was obvious that he had never thought that one day someone would use just five bottles of spiritual essence to talk to him, "What's wrong with five bottles?!"

"This is a bit abnormal. Do you remember that they said at the time that 'reiki will make users dependent, and withdrawal reactions may occur after losing the reiki'..."

"It's just nonsense!" Ye Siling roughly shook off Ji Mingfei's hand and poured spiritual liquid into his mouth. "Of course a cultivator will want it if he has no spiritual energy. This kind of thing is only natural. What's there to say? Yes!

Now that he has become the leader, can't the city of that kid from Qiguangyuan fly in the sky without relying on magic? Why not let him fly out with the Tiangong! He spent so many resources in building the city, and now it's time to put it to use!

——Wu Shan, bring me another bottle!"

After drinking another jade bottle, Ye Siling seemed to have relaxed a lot and his thoughts became clearer. The thoughts in his heart gradually became brighter, and he felt that he had grasped the real wisdom and came up with the perfect way to break the situation, and his expression became more and more cheerful.

The more excited he became, the more he didn't notice the strange and astonished looks from everyone: "Master! What do you think?"

"I will consider it." Shuishui Yaoguang responded without changing his expression, but quietly gestured to several others with his hand on his side, "But before that, we have to do one thing first..."
