Chapter 56: Storm I don’t agree.
"What on earth are you chasing after, Zongshan?" Yun Zhongjun once sighed.
"Don't wait any longer. If you can't even do it yourself, why would you trust others to do it best?"
…
"At first, I thought that the thunder tribulation that Master blocked for me when I broke through the realm had affected the original state of my Dao body." The girl said word by word.
"But after learning that you also practice the Way of Mercy, I remembered something..."
Did Yun Mengzi really know whether her cultivation had advanced or not just by looking at the soul lamp?
No, of course not.
The reason why Yun Mengzi could always detect Chu Sheng's advancement in cultivation was because...
"Because our paths are connected, when I encounter a thunderstorm, the Heavenly Dao will also transmit the thunderstorm to those who share the same path!"
Elder Fuqi's claim that "Venerable Yunmeng fell into a deep sleep due to a sudden tribulation" was indeed correct, but the tribulation that Yunmengzi endured was not a Mahayana tribulation...
It was the golden elixir thunder tribulation that Chu Sheng experienced when he broke through to the golden elixir stage!
The thunder tribulation of the Jindan stage was not enough to make a Mahayana stage master exhausted. Yun Mengzi should have brushed this matter off like expelling a fly, so why did he fall into a deep sleep in the end?
"Master Si Chun has always wanted me to rebuild my broken path...was it Master Si Chun who did it?"
Chu Sheng quickly denied this possibility.
"No... As a fellow Mahayana master, even Uncle Si Chun cannot completely control Master. At this point, it's likely that you deliberately took advantage of Master's trick."
"Although it's hard to explain Xiao Sichun's stubbornness, I'm still surprised by his sudden attack."
Yun Mengzi looked at her, his eyes not cold at all, but full of appreciation and affirmation.
"Why would Sheng'er think so?"
"Uncle Si Chun wanted to reduce the burden of the erosion of Master's path as much as possible, and he also didn't want me to perish, so he came up with this bad plan."
Chu Sheng took a deep breath.
"But Master has always ignored Uncle Si Chun's ideas and followed his own way, and has always encouraged me to stick to my own path...
You've known for a long time that this day would come, but it may have arrived a little sooner than you thought."
"What else did Sheng'er think of?"
There was even a hint of encouragement in Yun Mengzi's tone.
This feeling of having everything under the control of someone else... even though this person was his master, it still made Chu Sheng feel a little uncomfortable.
Chu Sheng chose to skip this topic.
"Why is it that after all these years, Master would rather sacrifice his cultivation than ascend?"
After Chu Sheng asked the question, he did not leave Yun Mengzi any room to speak, but immediately answered the question himself.
"You are waiting for someone. Who are you waiting for, Master? Are you saying you are waiting for me?"
There was not the slightest smile on her face.
"But Master, if even you can't do it, why do you believe that I can do it?"
Yun Mengzi's palm slowly tightened, holding Chu Sheng's profile. The great monk in red clothes and snow-white hair looked at the girl he had nurtured and raised, and smiled at the calm and serious face.
"Because you are my apprentice, Sheng'er."
Yun Mengzi felt sincerely regretful.
"It's indeed a bit early. I originally wanted to wait until you break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage before doing this..."
Chu Sheng was puzzled by the reason for these words, but suddenly his eyes fixed, and his whole body seemed to be hit by something falling from the sky, and he bent down involuntarily because of the pain.
"hiss……"
A powerful and familiar force violently rushed into her soul without any objection!
Yun Mengzi held Chu Sheng firmly, and regardless of everything, poured all his spiritual power into the Dao rhyme fragments in her spiritual palace.
This was originally an impossible thing, but Chu Sheng and Yun Mengzi practiced the same technique and had the same path. Yun Mengzi, who was at a higher level, completely mastered the rhythm here!
"No one can be more certain than me that only you can become the last ruthless cultivator to ascend..."
After Yun Mengzi felt the pain to the extreme, he couldn't help but pull Chu Sheng, who was curled up, into his arms, and gently stroked her back as if they were children, soothing her tense nerves.
Memory, time, spiritual power, perception, rhyme of Tao, unprecedented huge things rushed towards Chu Sheng like waves that engulfed everything!
The last time she faced such a test in the Tianjiao Ranking, Ye Ziqing was there to help her share some of the pain. But now Chu Sheng was forced to endure this immense pain by herself!
"Sheng'er, whether you believe it or not, your master will tell you this.
You are the last piece of the puzzle, the star that is destined to lead everything, and only you can end it all..."
“Is this… over?! Who made these rules? I… don’t even want to take on… these responsibilities!!”
Even though he was in so much pain that he was about to lose his mind, Chu Sheng still managed to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth.
"Even Master has never cared about my thoughts...!"
"I care, Sheng'er." Yun Mengzi held her gently in his arms, the red robe covering the girl's back, as if she was shrouded in invisible wings.
"But if you don't do this, you will die. When it comes to life and death, everything else can be discussed later."
The great monk let out a long sigh, and his white hair gradually turned from solid to thin. In contrast, Chu Sheng's aura was surging!
Late Jindan stage, early Yuanying stage, middle Yuanying stage, late Yuanying stage, early Huashen stage, middle Huashen stage...
"Although your Dao rhyme is the missing fragment of the Merciless Dao, it is only a tiny bit.
If you don't do this, sooner or later, you will be swallowed unconsciously by your master in his sleep... This is unacceptable."
Yun Mengzi wiped away the cold sweat from Chu Sheng's forehead with pity.
"I've lived for such a long time, and I've lived enough. When I saw you, I knew it was time for me to say goodbye—"
"I don't agree..."
Chu Sheng held Yun Mengzi's hand tightly. Her fingertips were so strong that they left deep fingerprints on Yun Mengzi's palm.
"—I! Don't! Agree!"
The Golden Lotus of Creation spread out its leaves in the surging sea of spiritual energy, and a small fragment of the Dao rhyme expanded and grew at an exponential rate.
As Chu Sheng's anger poured out, the lotus flowers undulating like waves quickly extended their branches towards another path emitting the same aura.
Middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation, late stage of the Spiritual Transformation...
Chu Sheng opened his eyes.
Mahayana period.
Above the huge Albizia Julibrissin tree, ominous black clouds piled up one after another, almost touching the treetops.
In the center of the vortex-like black cloud, purple lightning, so thick that it was almost ink-black, was ready to strike. Just looking at the faint pressure leaking out of it, people could not help but feel fear!
Yun Mengzi's body gradually became weaker, and he changed from hugging Chu Sheng to Chu Sheng hugging him back easily.
It was so light! The venerable who had just been holding me and trying to force his strength to me was now so fragile that he needed to rely on my arms to avoid falling to the ground.
The girl who had obtained supreme power raised her head. She looked at the deep and invisible overlapping thunderclouds, and a demonic vortex swirled in her black eyes.
"I don't agree." Chu Sheng said.
A mysterious feeling descended upon her, like a law, an emotionless yet regular order, a calm gaze that was equal but not condescending.
Do you accept it? Do you acknowledge it? Do you understand it? Do you obey it?
Do you want to continue down this path?
It's very simple, just need to go through the basic baptism...
【--roll! 】
An ancient sound containing the rhythm of Taoism burst out from the albizzia tree that was almost crushed by the black clouds!
This is……
There is no doubt that this is the magical power of a powerful Mahayana master!
Did that old bastard Yun Mengzi actually regain his strength... or did the He Huan Sect produce a new Mahayana-level master? Such enviable luck!
Countless people couldn't help but curse in secret.
The golden lotus transformed into a magnificent Dharmadhatu Land, stretching between heaven and earth. Its dazzling brilliance caused countless people who were watching the desert, both openly and covertly, to subconsciously close their eyes...
When he opened his eyes again, the black clouds had disappeared, the golden lotus had disappeared, and everything that seemed unusual had disappeared.
Only the Albizia Julibrissin tree, which had taken root in the desert at some unknown time, was once again dotted with green spots... just like the scene when Si Chun was promoted to the Mahayana stage.
The warm sunlight once again shone into the Hehuan Sect through the uneven green leaves. In the gentle breeze, Chu Sheng pushed open the door with a normal expression.
"What are you all doing here?"
She tilted her head, and her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making her look more girlish and gentle.
From left to right, they were Chen Duoer, who jumped up with a start, Yuwawa, who was half awake and sleeping soundly, and Gu Xuan, whose face was filled with doubt and thought...
There were also Si Chun and Fuqiu who had been standing opposite for who knows how long, but chose to remain silent at this moment.
Si Chun carefully identified the aura emanating from Chu Sheng, trying to find strong evidence for his guess, but he couldn't find any trace.
"Chu Sheng, you..."
Just as the impatient Fuqiu was about to speak, a bony white hand was belatedly placed on Chu Sheng's shoulder.
“…There are so many people.”
Yun Mengzi said softly, his golden eyes slowly scanning over inch by inch.
"What are you all planning to do here, everyone?"
"Have all the sect's affairs been dealt with? Have the internal and external troubles been thoroughly investigated? Have the remaining disciples been found? Or..."
Hearing this, Si Chun and Fuqiu hurriedly bowed to Yun Mengzi and left without looking back.
The fact that he could still see Yun Mengzi meant that he had no intention of ending his life, and Chu Sheng was still fine. This was enough for Si Chun.
As for the rest... he turned his head and met Fuqiu's eyes.
"Did you see what happened just now?"
Fuqiu did not answer Si Chun immediately.
Chu Sheng didn't show any signs of weakness from rebuilding his broken path, and neither did Yun Mengzi. This was a much better outcome than Fuqiu had expected...
But if that was the case, whose soul was that huge golden lotus image? Moreover... her expression was a little dazed.
"Did you see the center of Chu Sheng's eyebrows..."
There seems to be a half-opened Albizia julibrissin flower?
