Chapter 53: You are so cute, baby!
"Forgetting is also a kind of order. Once you voluntarily enter, it will be assumed that you agree with this rule." Xingzi shook it slightly in Chu Sheng's hand.
"It has been like this for many years, with almost no exceptions."
"Almost never? You mean the Buddhist disciple who successfully ascended to the Emperor Stage after rebuilding his broken path and achieving enlightenment and ascension."
Thinking of the gray-robed monk who pulled me back from the brink of loss, the Bodhi tree, the clear mind, the young face, the intentional or unintentional assistance, the direction is already very clear -
Chu Sheng blinked and smiled.
"I just saw him in the pagoda. It's really thanks to him that I was able to catch you."
"He really did have a backup plan in the Great Wuxiang Temple!" Xingzi suddenly became excited.
"I've already helped him become an immortal, yet he's still trying to cause trouble at a time like this. If I'd known it would turn out like this, I should have..."
"Why."
After hearing this, Yuan Qi knew that he could no longer pretend to be deaf, so he slowly stood up and then sighed leisurely.
"If I had known you were so easily tricked, I should have asked more questions. Why would I have given Junior Sister Chu Sheng any chance?"
"you……!"
Chu Sheng twirled his fingertips and stared for a moment. After finding the gap in the rune lingering on Xingzi's body, he manually muted it.
The girl looked up at Zhongnan Zongzi, who had a puzzled expression, and spoke calmly.
"Brother Yuan Qi, you understand my purpose very well. As for what you really want, I think we can have a discussion."
"What do I want to do?" Yuan Qi smiled. "Just as you just heard it say, I want to become an immortal, so I've been searching for a reliable way..."
His smile became fainter and fainter, and less and less, until finally he returned to his gentle and jade-like appearance.
"Sure enough, the method I'm looking for is indeed found in the Tianjiao Ranking."
"But based on the situation you just mentioned, I don't think this is a good idea?" Chu Sheng frowned.
Yuan Qi had always been kind to her. Even though he had just proposed to become her Taoist partner, Chu Sheng had an inexplicable intuition:
The prince chose to state this bluntly at this time; rather than calling it a threat, it was more of a reminder.
Therefore, Chu Sheng did not feel offended, but continued to persuade from the perspective of a friendly ally.
"Brother Yuan Qi, the matter of ascension is of great importance. Please think twice before acting."
“Junior Sister Chu Sheng, you are not Ye Ziqing, and Venerable Yun Meng has never considered telling you. It is normal that you are not clear about some things.
It has been over a thousand years since the last ancestor of the Yuan family ascended to heaven, and no disciple of the Zhongnan Dao Sect has ascended to heaven in a thousand years."
Yuan Qi pinched the whisk in his sleeve and explained lightly.
"Whether it's the Sword Palace, the Purple Sky Pavilion, the Penglai Fairy Island, or the Zhongnan Dao Sect, the natural treasures and cultivation resources used by the top sects in the cultivation world all have their origins in the guidance of those who ascended...
However, this kind of guidance comes at a price. Only if the disciples and their descendants continue to ascend to the upper realm and fight for their interests and a place, can this model continue to run smoothly.
The path to prosperity of most of the major sects you've seen is similar to this, and their decline is simply due to a lack of successors and a loss of connection with the higher realms."
"Wouldn't the person who ascended to heaven after rebuilding the broken path be sought out by the sect he originally belonged to?"
This was the first time Chu Sheng had heard of such inside information. She couldn't figure out the reason, so she asked.
"Are you talking about that Buddhist disciple?" Yuan Qi answered in a complicated tone.
"Buddhists are an exception. They don't believe that ascending to the upper realms means achieving immortality. They just think that it's a world of cultivation with a higher concentration of spiritual energy...
Therefore, for many years, no disciple of either the Great Wuxiang Temple or the Small Wuxiang Temple has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven, unless they were disciples of Buddha who left the sect and then broke their way back to cultivation."
No wonder later on in the world of cultivation, this Buddhist disciple was mentioned more often than the Great Wuxiang Temple itself!
"So, Junior Sister Chu Sheng, I won't ask how you were able to imprison this spirit from the Tianjiao Ranking. I'm not interested in how you'll obtain the Golden Lotus of Fortune later, and I have no intention of stopping you from rescuing Venerable Yunmeng.
I just want a concrete answer from the Tianjiao Ranking. After I get the result, I will leave the Tianjiao Ranking... Regardless of whether I can retain the memory or not, I must know it at this moment."
Yuan Qi took a few steps closer and stared into Chu Sheng's dark eyes.
"——How did that Buddhist disciple achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven?"
Chu Sheng slowly loosened his grip on Xingzi. Xingzi, who had escaped from the trap, did not immediately run away, but stayed cautiously in Chu Sheng's palm.
It seems that Xingzi at this moment seems to be more afraid of Yuan Qi who is currently doing nothing on the opposite side, rather than Chu Sheng who is able to control it.
"That guy...after obtaining the scattered fate notes from the upper realm, he used them to fill the gaps in his Dao," Xingzi said. "Once his Dao is complete, he will be able to step onto the Emperor Stage and naturally ascend to the upper realm."
"Destiny Note?" Yuan Qi and Chu Sheng had never heard of this unfamiliar term. "What is that?"
"That is a kind of commentary, or prophecy, left behind by a higher-level being from ancient times. Possessing it can fill the gaps in a cultivator's path."
Xingzi said.
"Only a flawless path can support a cultivator in reaching the divine realm and obtaining the admission ticket to the upper realm."
"Take the Life Letter and ascend the Imperial Steps... a relic left over from ancient times. Could it be another Chongming Immortal Venerable?" Chu Sheng murmured subconsciously.
The star was silent, its light flickered for a moment, and then dimmed as if its energy was forcibly cut off.
“In ancient times…indeed.
The Duobao Pagoda records that the person who had achieved immortality did so after frequently visiting several ancient ruins..."
Yuan Qi's expression was as if he had suddenly realized something.
"It seems we need to continue searching in the ancient ruins. Fortunately, the Sect Master has always made preparations."
He didn't care if Chu Sheng heard what he said. The leader of Zhongnan Dao Sect looked at Chu Sheng meaningfully and thanked him politely.
"My wish has been fulfilled, so I'll say goodbye to Junior Sister Chu Sheng first."
Chu Sheng picked up the falling star and returned the gesture politely.
"May Brother Yuan Qi's wishes come true and his path be smooth."
The whisk in the sleeve swung out, cutting through the endless sky. A giant hand that reached the sky tore through the space and reached into it. The fingertips at the front began to crack as they went deeper!
"Qi'er——"
Yuan Qi walked forward slowly and jumped onto the cracked fingertips.
"Good plan!" Chu Sheng understood Zhongnan Dao Zong's plan almost instantly.
"As soon as we succeed, we will evacuate quickly. Regardless of whether the Tianjiao Ranking is damaged in the end, at least some of their memories will be preserved intact..."
As for the others on this Tianjiao Ranking? The path of cultivation is all about ability. If you're not as skilled as others, it's none of my business!
"How brave, old thief!"
Other powerful people noticed the unusual movement and immediately took action.
"How can we allow you to do this alone?! Attack!"
The originally mysterious sky was completely torn apart at this moment, and then there was an endless struggle between the heavens and the earth!
“…Ah.” Chu Sheng sighed.
She pinched the star that had lost its luster, exerted a little force in her sleeve, and sucked the star, which had turned into a seed, into her palm.
"Your house is going to be demolished. Wouldn't it be safer to come with me?"
She muttered to herself, and a seed surrounded by strange fluctuations fell into her soul. When it was about to take root there, Chu Sheng had an idea and let the Dao Yun fragment become its carrier.
The seed paused with a slight resistance, but finally melted in obediently, and then sprouted in Chu Sheng's soul.
Chu Sheng watched the increasingly fierce struggle and closed his eyes calmly.
"--boom!"
In the Canglang Mountains, a crack spanning most of the cultivation world appeared in front of everyone.
Just when people were feeling uneasy about this strange phenomenon, the geniuses who had been deep inside suddenly fell out one after another like dumplings.
"Hiss..." Qiao Xuefeng climbed up dizzy.
He subconsciously touched the mustard seed and found that there seemed to be a lot more things in it. Before he could take a closer look, when he looked up, Qiao Xuefeng discovered something incredible.
"——Fuck! Ye Ziqing!!!"
Completely forgetting that he had already fought with the opponent on the Tianjiao List, this land-walker from Penglai Fairy Island was once again filled with burning anger.
"I seem to have heard a somewhat unpleasant name." Zixiao smoothed his hair with his hand, calmly took out the spiritual fan from his arms, and then slowly unfolded it. A little spiritual light flowed on each talisman.
Ye Ziqing woke up mid-air, twisted his waist and landed perfectly on the ground. As soon as he stood still, he heard several familiar voices:
"Hey, old acquaintance!"
He calmly picked up the jade pen, first hung a speed rune on himself, and then spoke to the people who were watching him covetously.
"I have something to say, please listen...
As everyone knows, the memories in the Tianjiao List will be blocked after coming out. Since we have landed here, it means that we were all in the same place when we were on the list.
Although there were some minor misunderstandings between us before, I believe that with your abilities, you must have already settled the matter with me before you can stand together peacefully!"
Qiao Xuefeng's hand suddenly stopped just as he was about to start the fight.
Hiss...what this guy said sounds like it makes sense!
Zixiao silently turned the fan in his hand, and then from the gap where everyone was standing, a materialized sound of a piano suddenly rushed in through the crowd!
"Ye Ziqing is the best at making excuses. You'd better stop listening to his nonsense!"
"Meng Lingbo!" Qiao Xuefeng was surprised. "You weren't here just now, how come you suddenly appeared?"
"Perhaps the Master's ears are so sharp that he heard certain people's names from a great distance, so he rushed over without hesitation."
Ya Ge stepped on the colorful hammer and fell from the sky, following closely behind Meng Lingbo.
"You guys continue, I'm just passing by, I have no interest in beating up people like this."
"There's something I don't know whether I should say or not." Zi Xiao said calmly, twirling his fan. "The anger I've let out is within the Tianjiao Rankings. What does it have to do with anyone outside of the Tianjiao Rankings?"
Ye Ziqing felt something was wrong when he heard that and took a half step back. Everyone used all kinds of spells to attack him again!
"Why……"
Ya Ge stood aside with some disgust. The saint was about to leave, but the moment she saw Chu Sheng in the corner, her eyes lit up.
"You're so cute, baby! Can I be your friend?"
The dark-skinned, blue-eyed female cultivator warmly held Chu Sheng's hand, her cat-like eyes sparkling as if filled with stars.
"You're as cute as a little butterfly, baby! Please make friends with me!"
Chu Sheng, who was currently brainstorming the Tianjiao Ranking, was stunned:
“…What, ah, huh???”
