The Great Purity, without thought, returns all phenomena to emptiness.
The investigation into the collapse at Feikong Mountain has been shelved.
The Heavenly Emperor, who is stern and tireless, often shows disdain and contempt when it comes to government affairs, and occasionally has a tendency to be passive and lazy.
He traveled all over the celestial realm and promoted some immortals who originally belonged to the Void Realm Mountain in the lower realm, and had them guard the Purple Extreme Palace.
When he sees flowers, he sings about flowers; when he sees mountains, he sings about mountains; and sometimes, when he sees fairies, he sings about the tinkling of jade pendants and the chasing of colorful clouds...
The children's songs were filled with a somber atmosphere.
..."
Xie Jinhui used ten days to transform the fake Heavenly Emperor's originally insignificant flaws into layers of suspicion, implanting such information into the collective consciousness of the immortals.
This was not a glorious act, but at least it gave the immortals a chance to protect themselves in advance when the day Xie Jinhui was bound to the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone officially arrived.
The true nature of the fake Heavenly Emperor is currently known only to Xie Jinhui and me.
It is best to resolve important matters within a small area. If it becomes public knowledge and everyone rises up to attack the false Heavenly Emperor, it will only lead to widespread suffering in the mortal realm.
The false Heavenly Emperor has replaced the divine beasts with countless captured spiritual creatures, thus binding the life and death of all living beings in the world to his own shoulders.
He was able to replace the Holy Emperor by gradually infiltrating the Heavenly Emperor's body through these threads, and at the same time, he also gained the power of life and death over the world.
Knowing the location of all his spiritual lines is certainly important.
Eliminating him directly might not be difficult, but Xie Jinhui and I both know what eliminating him means.
Even after we crippled him, he stubbornly resisted, using the power of the lower realm as a scapegoat...
You have to be careful not to harm the rat; you have to kill the rat but not uproot the crops growing on it.
If we take action, it will be tantamount to slaughtering the lower realms.
Xie Jinhui readily agreed to bind himself to the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone, intending to discover the location of all the connections of the fake Heavenly Emperor.
Our plan is to first determine all the locations, then restrain the fake Heavenly Emperor, and over a long period of time, find the spirit creatures one by one and replace them with celestial beasts.
I have already begun to explore methods to heal each of the spiritual threads.
All that's left is for Xie Jinhui to escape unscathed and obtain all the "patient" information.
Then, we prepared to become "healers" who would save the world, silently and quietly correcting the inverted spiritual lines one by one.
As for how to deal with the fake Heavenly Emperor at that time, the initiative will be in our hands.
I stood behind the fake Heavenly Emperor and saw the seemingly intimate yet actually probing gazes between Xie Jinhui and him.
Xie Jinhui doesn't need to turn his back to me, but the fake Heavenly Emperor's actions are all under my surveillance.
The immortals were silent, like the wind and clouds, like sighs, like unspeakable doubts deep in their hearts.
The atmosphere was fermenting in a state of both anticipation and lingering doubt.
It wasn't exactly dull and oppressive, nor was it a time of universal celebration.
Only the strange remains.
Behind Xie Jinhui, the Twelve Fairies of True Beauty floated among the clouds, a scene reminiscent of a master leading his disciples into battle...
Beauty is justice...
Even in this critical moment, may I, the goddess Yuan'e, still have room to indulge in a little infatuation.
If I were to remain on edge the entire time in front of all the immortals, wouldn't that be telling everyone: "Be careful, be careful! The immortal realm is in grave danger, your future Heavenly Emperor is in peril! Hurry up and go and strike him down!"
That won't do. I stretched out my body, revealing an admiring look in my eyes, raised my hand to my lips, and blew Xie Jinhui a kiss.
Xie Jinhui raised an eyebrow and replied to me.
Alright, the code is complete, he can begin.
The crowd filled the sky, and the immortals on the Purple Palace Square couldn't resist the temptation, some even flashing smiles.
Even my master stayed away from me to avoid Xie Jinhui's relationship affecting him.
Master went to hang out with Lord Tongtang, and the old man in the Discipline Hall frowned and hissed like thunder.
I feel like if I had nine tails, they would chop eight of them off on the spot, and smash the remaining one to pieces.
Hey, crack it, crack it! Crack my tail that I conjured up to deceive Xie Shenjun into nothingness, into dust so I can use it to make mountain buns.
The old men in the Discipline Hall had flowing beards, and their thunderous light flowed like ripples among the immortals.
Over there are heavenly soldiers and generals holding magical weapons, ready for battle; over there is my beloved son, Jianyuan, sitting leisurely on the commander's throne.
When he saw me glance at him, he kept waving at me, almost shattering the thunder in the Discipline Hall with a single "Mother!"
With Jianyuan by my side, I have so much power to rely on. With him around, I must protect this immortal realm and the world even more.
The immortals parted the clouds and mist that had gathered to watch the spectacle, and the view inside and outside the Purple Palace became clear.
My gaze gradually focused on a single point, and then expanded outward from that point.
The pitch-black Tai Su Wu Nian Stone, having shed a black dream of 320,000 years, now casts iridescent shadows of light, a testament to the transformation of heaven and earth.
It was sown in the high heavens, among the immortals, below the Purple Pole, and even in the void.
At this moment, Xie Jinhui raised the five slender fingers of his left hand.
He lightly placed his fingertips on the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone and cautiously glanced at the fake Heavenly Emperor opposite him.
I couldn't see the Heavenly Emperor's expression, but I saw him nod.
Xie Jinhui gave a wicked smile and then pressed his entire palm down on it.
The fake Heavenly Emperor raised his deep purple sleeve, his body deliberately leaning forward, his fingers spread into a fierce claw shape.
My divine power and my heart rose together.
But the fake Heavenly Emperor's outstretched hand failed to achieve anything; his entire body of imperial purple and his imperial bearing were all shrouded in the radiance emanating from the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone.
The purple-clad immortal robe cast a lowly shadow, causing his majestic and upright figure to tremble. He took a step back, then stood firmly on his feet.
Xie Jinhui's hand was still on the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone.
His eyes, following the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone where all the gods returned, shimmered with the light of immortal blessings and virtues, gradually rising to reveal an air of wisdom and enlightenment.
There was no need for the fake Heavenly Emperor to make it clear, nor for the various immortals surrounding the divine stone to provide their certification.
Throughout the Purple Palace, all immortals with beards uniformly stroke their beards.
The one without a beard nods, or pats his own hand, thigh, or the shoulder of another deity.
There were also very excited fairies wringing their hands, and flower fairies carrying baskets scattering a rain of flowers.
The celestial official in charge of ceremonies turned pale with fright and hurriedly waved to the fairies.
"Oh dear, my flower fairies, don't get too excited! You've scattered the flowers too early!"
It's been a long time, hasn't it?
Rain of flowers and celestial music, neon lights and shadows, even the spirit lamps that carry the world's wishes, the green leaves of the bamboo forest, the strange fragrance of the mist, the golden wings of dust, the shimmering light of the sun, moon and stars...
The world is full of wonders, too numerous to count. They are all ahead of time, dancing and singing within the fourteen-stringed instrument, creating a tapestry of heavenly bliss.
The Tai Su Wu Nian Stone recognized Xie Jin Hui, and the light and shadow radiating from the cracks in the black stone were indeed dazzling, solemn, and graceful.
But I know this is just the beginning of the commitment, the prelude to the binding.
The black spots on the black stone emitted a crackling sound, like a winter river meeting spring, gradually melting and cracking.
The cracking sound instantly froze all the early morning clamor into a breathless vacuum.
The black stone under Xie Jinhui's hand cracked open with hair-like white lines. These white lines spread and wandered from the inside through the increasingly translucent stone body, as if awakening the spiritual core of the gods.
Boom!
Within the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone, flames of daylight color leaped forth, traversing the barrier where the gods slept in a chaotic trajectory like falling stars.
I felt for a fleeting moment that countless spiritual eyes opened within the stone. They looked down on everything, yet their pupils clearly reflected distant mountains and the sky and water.
The fake Heavenly Emperor was very excited. He quickly turned back and stretched out his hands, trying to imprint them on the dazzling light on the stone surface.
Xie Jinhui looked up at him, and Tai Su Wunian Stone's black eyelids suddenly opened.
The pure, unblemished color of the crystal was revealed, like a layer of gentle mist, shielding it from the touch of the fake Heavenly Emperor.
At this moment, Xie Jinhui was like a sliver of ice, concealing the sharp light of the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone.
I remember reading in ancient books that when the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone recognized the Heavenly Emperor, its radiance was enough to illuminate the entire world.
Demons and monsters will hide in the abyss, and evil spirits will be destroyed when exposed to light.
The fake Heavenly Emperor stood there unharmed. Apart from his hands being unable to touch the bright light, he showed no signs of fleeing or fear.
I hesitated for a moment, and Xie Jinhui's gaze swept over me lightly.
Yes, this situation was within our expectations.
We have considered that there is a way to kill the fake Heavenly Emperor in one blow without harming other lives.
The method was to use the purifying divine light of the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone to pierce through him.
This is the most effective and only way.
His current safety proves that while the fake Heavenly Emperor may be a monster, he is not a demon or evil being; otherwise, he would have surely perished.
The fake Heavenly Emperor's expression projected onto the transparent stone body remained calm, as if waiting for an opportune moment to strike.
I rubbed my temples and winked at Xie Jinhui.
The fake Heavenly Emperor saw my movements reflected in the stone, and a cold glint immediately flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, I saw Xie Jinhui raise his free right hand, gesturing to the fake Heavenly Emperor.
Xie Jinhui's lips moved, and the fake Heavenly Emperor responded as well.
However, their voices were already contained within their barrier and could not escape.
According to the original plan, if the fake Heavenly Emperor was not killed by the divine light, Xie Jinhui would lure him into a trap, under the pretext of asking the Holy Heavenly Emperor how to govern the bound world, so that the fake Heavenly Emperor would voluntarily put his hands down.
Then, take the opportunity to expose all the spiritual strongholds he has set up in various realms, remember them, and prepare to defeat them one by one in the future.
The fake Heavenly Emperor's intention to press his hand down was obvious, but the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone refused to let him get close.
Since the divine stone refused, the immortals would not suspect anything.
Because of the binding, the Holy Emperor could completely stay out of it and simply sit on his throne and watch.
He stood beside Xie Jinhui, perhaps out of goodwill, perhaps out of deep affection between uncle and nephew, or perhaps out of the backlash that all the immortals were pondering...
It was clear that Xie Jinhui's lips were lip-syncing to "please," and the fake Heavenly Emperor revealed a satisfied smile.
My head was throbbing.
Alright, fine, so you're really looking for fortune in the most dangerous places, Xie Jinhui.
I gave you a look to tell you that the monster's purpose in standing there was to press its claws down.
If you give him a chance, will he give you leeway?
Both sides are vying for control of the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone, each trying to cook their desired flavor in this giant stone pot that is trying to confuse the other.
Yes or no?
It's dangerous, so dangerous that anything can happen at any moment, and it's beyond our control.
My mind started racing, gripped by the Soul Lock that was worried about Xie Jinhui and eager to try his luck.
It seems to have absorbed the power of a dragon, and is roaring and flying, ready to strike at any moment to protect its precious jade treasure.
Unable to suppress it, I temporarily restrained myself.
Suddenly, at Xie Jinhui's invitation, the fake Heavenly Emperor's hands were successfully pressed into the stone light.
The eyes of the "uncle and nephew" met in the transparent stone heart, revealing a touching smile that seemed to say: Come on, let's hurt each other!
All the power struggles, the focal points, and my heart were transformed into a vast emptiness within the immense light that erupted from the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone.
My vision instantly returned to emptiness, all things were empty, I marveled at the colorless brilliance of the divine light of creation, which adorned everything as nothingness, which was what the ancestral king loved most.
It's all white, completely blank.
A sense of unease, pressing on my chest, surged up; I could no longer see Xie Jinhui.
Life-or-death struggles often occur in the instant when all eyes are blinded.
Xie Jinhui wants all the locations of the spiritual objects. What does the fake Heavenly Emperor want? Does he want Xie Jinhui? Does he want Moxu Chenyuan?
I don't care about spacetime direction.
I remembered Xie Jinhui's location; we were only a few steps apart. I started running towards him.
That instant of white light was as dense as ten thousand years. I broke through it and rushed towards the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone, but I couldn't reach Xie Jin Hui's side.
The Tai Su Wu Nian Stone is translucent and gleaming; it has been fully awakened, radiating a majestic and pure light.
However, just now, the two figures that were still pressing their hands on it disappeared without a trace, vanishing from their original spot.
My heart suddenly felt like it was made of black iron, sinking heavily.
Then a fellow immortal was heard praising loudly.
"Look, the Holy Emperor is flying towards Mount Feikong, and Lord Xie is trying to stop him!"
Then I heard Xie Jinhui's two words, delivered from high above into my mind: "Don't chase!"
He wanted me to guard the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone.
