My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 700 - 0400 Zhu Tongjun’s Speculations (2-in-1)

Until long after the Sect Leader departed, Zhu Tongjun finally snapped back to reality, a slight blush rising on her cool face.

Why did she feel... the Sect Leader’s gaze was so peculiar when he was leaving?

How exactly does he view her relationship with Xu the kid?

"Ugh."

She spat.

She understood the Sect Leader’s meaning; after reaching the Qiankun Realm, everything is about cause and effect, and now, due to a sparring match, Chang’an has broken her Glazed Dharma Body, which for her is actually a favorable piece of karma.

However, given her relationship with Xu Chang’an, why would she need such karma? So... as perceptive as Zhu Tongjun is, how could she not understand what the Sect Leader wanted to say? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

This isn’t about favorable karma, it’s clearly a reminder... She’s too close to Xu Chang’an.

Now, even if there is a karma line, it’s entangled beyond clarity and reason.

"The Sect Leader... has indeed changed." Zhu Tongjun gently shook her head. In the past, the Sect Leader would never discuss such small matters with her. From her perspective, the Sect Leader now seems calm, taciturn, but in actuality, he must have pondered many things.

Quite similar to the once proud Ah Bai.

She couldn’t help but smile a bit, raising her head to look at the array map in the sky, feeling the continuous influx of Spiritual Power into the Mountain Protection Array, sensing the array’s constant fortification.

Gazing towards the heavens, Zhu Tongjun remained silent for a long time.

Others might not know, but she is quite aware.

The so-called Mountain Protection Array seems to be for shielding the Chaoyun Sect from external threats, but in reality... each array hub is established upon the earth veins, on the richest points of Spiritual Power, with its fundamental purpose—to collect Dao Rhyme.

The essence of the Mountain Protection Array, centered around Chaoyun Sect, is supplemented by several array maps to refine the fragmented Dao Rhyme in heaven and earth, for the Sect Leader’s cultivation use.

So, although Zhu Tongjun had never spoken of it, she knew in her heart that, for the Sect Leader, even the existence of the Chaoyun Sect... is merely for better collecting Dao Rhyme.

The peace of Qing Province, the formation of Chaoyun Sect, is merely a byproduct of this primary goal.

Zhu Tongjun had even speculated that the so-called conflicts between the Demon Sect and Chaoyun Sect were, in essence... just the two individuals in the Qiankun Realm battling over Dao Rhyme.

Otherwise, why does the Demon Sect’s assault on Qing Province’s Righteous Path always move along with the array hubs?

Why, do those Righteous Sects outside the Mountain Protection Array not count as righteous? Must they gnaw at the toughest bone? She doesn’t believe the Demon Sect speaks any ethics... Zhu Tongjun knows, not only her, even within the Demon Sect there’s great puzzlement over every action targeting the Mountain Protection Array.

It’s simply a matter of me getting one more while you get one less.

Yet in truth, Zhu Tongjun alone couldn’t reach the core aspects of this—it was Li Zhibai who subtly mentioned it to her.

Otherwise, what gives her the courage to venture alone onto the Demon Sect Holy Mountain while that Qiankun Realm person is there?

Did she really think she wasn’t afraid to die? Even if she wasn’t, could Li Zhibai not be afraid?

If she truly dares to do something reckless, the first person to deal with her wouldn’t be someone else, but Li Zhibai.

Knowing about her stirring up trouble with the Demon Sect, that person frankly didn’t care, rather, it suggested that over the years, the Chaoyun Sect and Demon Sect had reached their own balance.

You take yours, I take mine.

Is the core contradiction of Qing Province righteousness versus evil?

No.

It’s merely a contest over Dao Rhyme between the two Qiankun Realm individuals.

"Dao Rhyme..." Zhu Tongjun gently shook her head.

Indeed, some attentive people should already sense the discord beneath the so-called battle of righteousness and evil.

The fierce fights between the Demon Sect and Chaoyun Sect, with each Qiankun Realm holding a side, such severe division, an attentive person is bound to notice.

For instance... Zhu Tongjun believes Xu Chang’an is wise; having perused so many records of the Chaoyun Sect, he ought to perceive the oddities of the current Cultivation Realm.

But mere perception is useless.

The concept of Dao Rhyme, unless one reaches a certain realm, you can’t grasp its existence or its significance.

Despite Zhu Tongjun having one foot into the Qiankun Realm, even with her inspiration, at full effort she can only grasp faint traces of Dao Rhyme.

If the Sea of Consciousness is not calm enough, merely recognizing the existence of something like "Dao Rhyme" would be incredibly difficult.

Such a mysterious thing, if not for the aid of Li Zhibai’s elixirs, she wouldn’t have any understanding of it.

And how many individuals in the world have cultivation like hers?

So, it is just a game of chess played by the two in the Qiankun Realm, and even if everyone knows the truth, what can be done? Can the grudges between the Demon Sect and Chaoyun Sect be halted?

About the two Qiankun watching overhead... with intentions on them... is one courting death?

She once pondered if breaking into the Qiankun Realm might make her need those so-called Dao Rhyme.

Zhu Tongjun clicked her tongue.

Looking at it this way, maybe she shouldn’t break through.

Contend with the Sect Leader?

Ah Bai would be the first to deal with her.

With a smile.

Actually, she does not wish to contend with the Sect Leader over anything.

"Truly strange."

Logically speaking, knowing that Qing Province is merely a "chessboard" for the two in the Qiankun Realm, as somewhat useful pieces, she and Ah Bai should refuse to be mere pawns and be angry at both individuals for treating the world as fools...

But in reality, they aren’t.

Whether it’s due to the Sect Leader’s personal charisma or that they defer to strength, she and Li Zhibai continue to hold the greatest admiration and respect for the Sect Leader.

After all... regardless of intention, the one who rescued the Qingzhou Human Race from war and disaster single-handedly was the Sect Leader.
