Chapter 296 I am a little fish (51)
A massive wave has swept through the cultivation world, and what follows will be an unprecedented upheaval.
The matter of Du Chongshan is not just about the Misty Mountain. As Meng Li said in her letter, as the recognized number one righteous sect, what Du Chongshan and some people from Misty Mountain did was tantamount to slapping the righteous path in the face.
Meng Li, on the other hand, tore away the veil of pretense.
The righteous path is righteous because it aligns with the will of the people and is consistent with the very essence of "cultivating immortality"—being indifferent to fame and fortune, restraining desires, and punishing evil and promoting good.
Therefore, those who follow the righteous path are favored by Heaven and enjoy more resources. As long as they can maintain their original intentions, their path of cultivation, though relatively slow, will be smooth.
However, when the "right path" becomes an empty name, resentment from those who suffer losses because of this empty name will accumulate, and when it reaches a certain point, the previously solidified situation will be broken.
When those "heretical sects" that are not recognized by the righteous path discover that the so-called righteous path is nothing more than that, yet they rely on their status to suppress their living space to the extreme, making them like rats crossing the street in the cultivation world, what will they do?
This was exactly the kind of follow-up reaction Meng Li had hoped for. Simply informing the righteous faction about it would be useless and might even invite a siege.
Now, the entire cultivation world, and even the human world, knows about the wicked deeds of the righteous sects.
Only by muddying the waters can we have a chance to overturn the existing rules.
Jingli did not participate in the remaining events, firstly because he was somewhat lacking in ability in this world, and secondly because the situation seemed unlikely to change much with or without him.
Unbeknownst to him, or even before he came into this world, Meng Li had made many preparations.
These preparations may have been unintentional—for example, the men and women she saved from near becoming furnaces for revenge; or they may have been intentional—for example, getting to know a sect that could truly be called righteous (such as the Lingxiao Sect) early on, and associating with those who, like her, were excluded from the righteous path but were neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil, and together fueling the flames after Du Chongshan became the catalyst.
"Although the pollution level in this world is still quite high, it is decreasing."
6058 brought up the monitoring panel and displayed the pollution value curve to Jingli.
Although Mr. Yuan of this world shattered, he also suppressed the so-called rift. Similar to how Meng Li, the protagonist of this world, did not collapse, and with Lu Mingguang's participation, this world is not so worrying for the time being.
Jingli and 6058 temporarily rested at Baiyunque in Lingxiao City, along with Chunqi, who was still unconscious.
During that time, Fen Chun often came, as if he were familiar with the place as if it were his own home.
Jingli believed that his role in the matter was very small. At most, he helped Meng Li stabilize her mind with his energy, preventing her from destroying herself before the right opportunity arrived.
To be honest, this made Jingli a little confused.
In the previous world, the burden of being the "savior" almost entirely rested on his shoulders. In this world, he became a logistics worker, which made him feel somewhat unaccustomed to being idle, while at the same time worrying about the situation outside.
It wasn't that he had some kind of hero complex; it was just that it was the first time he had solved a world problem as a "participant," and his perspective couldn't shift immediately, leaving him feeling empty inside.

"He's almost awake."
The gentle sound of burning spring brought me back to reality from my reverie.
At this time, the situation in the cultivation world was in great chaos, and Baiyunque, as a merchant caravan, had more needs. The place where they rested had a protective barrier set up by Meng Li and Lu Mingguang, and Fen Chun was also there. So 6058 went out with Lu Mingguang and contacted Jingli through the system.
Therefore, during this period, there were only Jingli, Fenchun, and Chunqi.
6058 and Lu Mingguang's actions also imply the creation of a space for two... well, three people.
Fen Chun noticed that Jing Li was lost in thought and thoughtfully said, "Things are getting chaotic outside."
During this time, Fen Chun often came over, bringing Jing Li some snacks or trinkets. Given their past shared experiences, Jing Li wasn't wary of him. So when he spoke, the worry on his face naturally reflected his master's feelings.
Upon seeing this, Fen Chun smiled and gently patted Jing Li's head.
"No need to worry, this will surely happen."
After saying this, he placed the snacks he had brought for Jingli that day on the table beside him, and then put his right index and middle fingers together on the forehead of the unconscious Chunqi.
A halo of light slowly appeared along Fen Chun's fingers. Then, Fen Chun opened her hand, then clenched it again, completely grasping that halo of light.
"Little fish demon, I've remembered something." He paused, then noticed Jingli looking at him and laughed.
This smile wasn't as frivolous as before; instead, it gave Jingli a very familiar feeling.
It reminded him of those people in his memories that had faded somewhat due to the system's protection.
Ruan Qinglan, Fu Zichu, Yu An, Qi Jian...
Fen Chun coughed, covering his mouth, unusually refraining from using his flamboyant fan.
“I remembered it recently,” he explained. “To be precise, it came with his awakening.”
It refers to the beginning of spring.
Fen Chun raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "You should know that Chun Qi has divided himself, and I am one of the pieces."
He paused, then looked directly into Jingli's eyes.
"It's also the most special one."
Jingli blinked, feeling her face inexplicably hot, and waited for his next words.
Fen Chun smiled and said, "You should know that this place has its own special characteristics. When it was disturbed, God gave us a revelation to guide us to restore order."
Lu Mingguang had mentioned this point before, just as there are so-called blessed lands in this world that can open up gaps in time and space to a certain extent.
This is why Sefosi wants to take over the world.
He probably wanted to use the unique characteristics of this world to create a teleportation system for himself similar to Zero Realm.
Or perhaps he doesn't need to completely seize it; he only needs to create a passage by polluting it, like the Spirit Puppet Burial Mound, so that he can cause cracks and make it easier for him to disturb it from time to time.
"The fragmented Spring Begins attaches itself to all the possible cracks, delaying as much as possible and ensuring that there is a chance for it to return to its original state."
Jingli wasn't too surprised by this information, but she was surprised that Fenchun knew so much.
"You are also a fragment of it."
He used an affirmative sentence because he already knew this.
"Hmm." Fen Chun narrowed his eyes and smiled as he looked at Jing Li. "Perhaps it's a special place."
He paused, pleased to see Jingli's curious expression.
"I suppose I exist to wait for you."
