"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
She looked eager to try.
"No, I'll have nightmares."
Li Changzhou now knows where the immortal mountain is, but there is no notification that the mission is complete.
It seems that either the mission is to retrieve the two immortal mountains, or Kunpeng lied and didn't swallow the immortal mountains, or perhaps the mission isn't this at all.
He also released the wind bird when the wind picked up. The wind bird only circled once in the air before landing back on Mount Sacred Serpent and did not go in any other direction.
With no mission prompts and the windbird refusing to move, I was completely in the dark and could only slowly grope my way forward.
It does have a rather wild and untamed style.
Li Changzhou didn't sleep all night, waiting for Yaochi to come. Was he unable to get away, or could he not find him?
On the second day of the Heaven-Mending Assembly, the annual selection of vacant divine positions and immortal posts was held. The method was naturally to select whoever had the strongest true energy and the greatest power to become a god or immortal.
It is a grand event in itself, and all clans and tribes, including the wandering knights of the Four Seas Palace, will choose to show their skills and make a name for themselves throughout the world today.
This year is even more different.
Not only is the position of the True God of the North Sea vacant, but recently there have been rumors that the two immortal mountains, Daiyu and Yuanqiao, which have drifted away, can only be found by becoming the True God of the North Sea.
Two immortal mountains, with countless celestial medicines and divine treasures. Whether for power, for longevity, or simply for fame and fortune, the position of the True God of the North Sea is a must-have!
While it's impossible for experts at the Emperor level to participate, there will be no shortage of those at the Great Perfection God level.
These ancient, barbaric gods did not possess the various Taoist arts of later generations, but each and every one of them was absolutely tyrannical.
When Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia left their residence, they heard that some powerful emperors who were nearing the end of their lives had lowered their cultivation levels to fight each other at the god level.
The brother and sister's expressions turned serious.
Originally, Li Changzhou was 80% confident of taking first place when facing a master of the Great Perfection of the Divine Realm, because he had the Divine Body, the Black Mist, magical power, and various supernatural abilities and spells he had recently cultivated.
However, when facing an Emperor-level expert who has lowered their cultivation level, there are too many unknown variables.
The Emperor's throne is equivalent to the Celestial Immortal of later generations. People at this level are almost divine. In battle, they can merge their own vast world with the great universe and temporarily gain the power of the Heavenly Dao.
In an era when the imperial throne ended and celestial beings had not yet emerged, this realm was also known as the Celestial Being.
Even Guanyin (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) strives for this realm!
Of course, what she sought was not an ordinary heavenly position, but the supreme heavenly position like that of the Queen Mother of the West.
"Bodhisattva, in the primitive era, how did gods ascend to the throne? Did they also cultivate countless worlds?" Li Changzhou asked before the competition began.
【No.】 Guanyin's expression was equally solemn. 【If one cultivates countless worlds, their lifespan couldn't be only 500 years. But in any case, to become a celestial being, one must possess a heavenly power. It's just unknown whether, after lowering one's cultivation level, one can still wield that heavenly power.】
What if we could?
"You are no match for her," Guanyin said directly.
Li Changzhou's heart sank.
Guanyin was inside his body and knew his condition very well. As one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, she had been in front of the Buddha for many years and was also very knowledgeable about the heavenly positions. Therefore, her words were not unfounded.
"You're already very strong," Guanyin comforted you. "You don't need to ascend to a heavenly position. You only need your physical body to undergo a fourth strengthening, or your magical power to reach complete perfection. Even an ordinary heavenly being like Medicine Buddha might be helpless against you. But right now, you're only a terrestrial immortal with ten thousand years of magical power. The road ahead is still very long."
Li Changzhou looked at his younger sister.
—What gives Kunpeng the confidence to let you seize the divine throne?
—They only gave me one sentence: "The roc rises with the wind in a single day, soaring straight up ninety thousand miles."
Li Changzhou was stunned for a moment.
—What do you mean? I gave you a very powerful supernatural ability?
Of course, "nine thousand li" doesn't literally mean only nine thousand li. Nine is an extreme number, so "nine thousand li" represents extreme speed.
If Li Qianxia were to acquire the innate divine ability of Kunpeng Speed, she might actually be able to avoid the "Heavenly Might" that would lower her realm as an emperor.
However, an emperor who has lowered his realm cannot use "Heavenly Might" for a long time; he can only use it for a moment.
“I guess so,” Li Qianxia said.
"What do you mean by 'consider it'? If you gave it, you gave it; if you didn't give it, you didn't give it. Make things clear."
"Kunpeng said that when faced with great battles, chaotic times, and pressure, Kunpeng's talent will naturally awaken."
"What if they don't awaken?"
"What else can we do but take the beating?"
Li Changzhou understood. He said, "Your mission is probably really to obtain the position of the True God of the North Sea."
"It could also be the awakening of the Kunpeng's innate divine power," Li Qianxia speculated.
As soon as the task became clearer, the pressure immediately weighed on their hearts like a mountain; there could never be an easy or simple task in a game of value.
This game, from beginning to end, is all about eliminating players and selecting the strongest one.
"Don't be too nervous," Li Changzhou comforted him. "The fact that the Value Game gave you this task proves that you can do it."
“It’s okay,” Li Qianxia hugged his arm and said happily, “As long as I can be with my brother, I’m not afraid of anything.”
Li Changzhou glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and saw She Yi'er and the others walking into the Heaven-Mending Hall, their eyes fixed on the two of them like needles.
Li Changzhou put his arm around Li Qianxia's waist, picked up his wine glass, and laughed heartily, "Beauty, come here!"
He fed Li Qianxia wine.
Li Qianxia drank her wine while gazing at him with her sweet, coquettish eyes.
The two once again played the roles of adulterers.
Soon after, the Heavenly Emperor, possessing boundless majesty and enveloped in golden light, arrived and laughed, "I sensed the soaring battle intent even outside the palace. It seems you all can't wait any longer."
Whether they found it funny or not, everyone laughed.
"In that case, let's get started."
