Chapter 77: The transformation into a spirit is complicated.
Across time and space, on the high platform at the top of the sky, Chu Sheng opened his eyes again. In his dark eyes, colorful vortexes flickered faintly, and the sword energy soared into the sky.
She exhaled deeply.
Ever since she possessed the Golden Lotus of Creation, Chu Sheng, who was connected to the Great Dao of Many People, had a deeper understanding of the Way of Heaven. The mental method that had previously hindered her progress was no longer an obstacle to her progress.
For a ruthless cultivator, cultivation is as easy as eating and drinking water, and Chu Sheng finally felt this for real.
With just simple breathing and meditation, it seems as if endless immortal power will rush towards the Dantian and the Spirit Palace.
If she had not intentionally suppressed her realm, and if the Heavenly Dao in the ancient ruins had not been flawed, making it impossible for her to survive the thunder tribulation of the Mahayana period, her cultivation would probably not have stopped at the peak of the Spirit Transformation period.
The surging power accumulated in her limbs and bones, giving Chu Sheng an unprecedented feeling.
A cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage can change the course of rivers, cause mountains to collapse, and make rain evaporate. He has already mastered a small part of the power of nature's great forces.
The beauty of power is indeed intoxicating, but Chu Sheng has not forgotten her original intention.
On the high platform, the vague figure from the vast river past finally solidified a little.
The white-robed Immortal Chongming repeatedly asked the heavens for a way to save the important people, but no matter how many times he asked, the message conveyed by the destiny could not make his complexion improve at all.
He never got the reply he wanted.
Chu Sheng realized that this scene was consistent with the past she knew: until the Lord Yinglong shocked the demon with his own body and the Supreme Goddess completely perished, the Immortal Master Chongming was unable to bring back a way to save everything in time.
Then, she heard a familiar voice appear beside Chongming Immortal Venerable.
"...What do you want me to help you with?"
Chu Sheng's breath became disordered, disrupting the originally stable Hai Shi and also waking up Tian Yan who was resting with his eyes closed.
Tian Yan's breathing became much calmer. He looked at Chu Sheng and was not surprised by her rapid progress in cultivation. He even seemed to have some hidden dissatisfaction.
"You should be able to make progress and become stronger." Tian Yan asked.
"Why not cultivate for a while longer? If two or more cultivators who need to go through the Mahayana stage of thunder tribulation appear, it will be easy to open the blocked passage."
"I'm uneasy," Chu Sheng said. "War is the key to change. Don't be impatient. Let me think about it for a while."
She looked at the vast sky outside the hall.
The time and space where the ancient ruins are located is so ancient that all living things have lost their true understanding of the passage of time, whether they are spiritual plants, flowers and birds, humans, monsters, or demons.
In the city where Tian Yan was, Chu Sheng met almost all the monsters who had entered the ancient ruins.
Long Jiao Xuanming was not confused by Yuan Qi and Gui Xuan's strategy for long, but Tian Yan and Yuan Qi's identical expressions made him alert, and he did not say anything too outrageous to Chu Sheng.
The leading black turtle said that he finally felt a rare sense of security.
For this homeland where the Lord of God once stayed for a long time, every demon clan felt a sense of belonging deep in their blood, and their restless mood was soothed.
This dream city created by Tian Yan, which does not exist in real time and space, has become the spiritual home of this group of monsters.
If I continue to live here from now on, maybe... maybe it won't be an unacceptable choice.
Chu Sheng did not notice the undercurrents in the demon tribe's minds. She was immersed in her thoughts and only wanted to find where everyone was as soon as possible to verify her guess.
The other side.
Up to now, the Jade Baby has completed the process of cultivation initiation and has become a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
The fox demon who had been waiting nearby after waking up was extremely happy: "Baby, you're awake!"
The jade doll pinched the flesh on both sides of his cheeks with her cold white hands. The edges of her inorganic black eyeballs were covered with a layer of red light. Her eyes revealed a look that made people's backs cold as she stared at the young fox king quietly.
"--Who are you?"
Fang Yuan finally remembered where he came from. Before he had time to digest all the confusing experiences, it was the Jade Doll who forgot where he lived.
The young girl, whose cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, looked at her former fellow disciples. There was no longer the former intimacy and helplessness in her eyes, but only a kind of objective and unacceptable coldness.
"Why are you and another cultivator the ones I contracted with?"
"That is..." Fang Yuan was stunned.
"That's the bond Duo'er and Fang Yuan made with you because they were afraid you'd be bullied if you went out."
Chu Sheng, who happened to arrive, stood between the two of them and easily blocked Yuwawa's cold and indifferent gaze and the hand that was about to be extended for Fang Yuan.
"Do you still remember me, doll?"
Chu Sheng came out of his thoughts and looked at the junior sister in front of him. His tone was very gentle and calm, but it made people shiver involuntarily.
——It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. Junior brothers and sisters are like this. If they are disobedient, they will become very obedient after being beaten.
It just so happened that Chu Sheng, who had fought his way out of the Hehuan Sect alone, was very familiar with this kind of drama.
Perhaps the feeling of oppression from my senior sister in the past was too unforgettable.
Facing Chu Sheng, who had a weak aura and looked frail and pitiful, Yuwawa inexplicably softened a bit.
"Are you my senior sister?"
As soon as she was called "Senior Sister", Yuwawa clearly felt a certain pressure suddenly appearing on her, but it disappeared in an instant.
"If you want to leave the sect and inherit Yu Jujiu's legacy in the Beastmaster Sect, that's fine, but at least not now... At least, you have to wait until everyone has left the ancient ruins together."
Chu Sheng glanced around and saw two pairs of equally dark eyes staring at each other for a moment, as if an invisible momentum was colliding between them in the air.
Finally, the jade doll took a step back and subconsciously chose to look away first.
"……I see."
Fang Yuan looked at Chu Sheng standing in front of him, and recalled the figure of Chu Sheng who had stepped into the barrier without hesitation in Zhongnan Dao Sect that year. His eyes couldn't help but redden. "Senior Sister."
Chu Sheng rubbed his fluffy hair and soft ears as usual and comforted him.
"Don't be afraid. Even though you've been gone for so long, Elder Mo Yan doesn't say it, but he loves you the most. He won't do anything to you when he returns."
"I'm not crying about this... No, I..." Fang Yuan collapsed, tears flowing more fiercely, but he no longer reached out to grab the corner of Chu Sheng's robe as dependently as before.
"Senior Sister, I just felt it, she's dead!!"
Hu Ji is dead.
Fang Yuan originally had a lot of questions to ask her.
Why did you do this? Why did you lie to me? Why me? Why did you choose me in the end?
Hu Ji deceived him, but did not treat him unfairly.
She called Fang Yuan a descendant of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, bound his stay or departure with the interests of the clan, and bound his brothers and sisters with family affection.
Hu Ji asked Fang Yuan to take on the responsibilities of the Fox King, but she also took him to be baptized by the blood of the essence, successfully transforming his realm and becoming an even more powerful demon...
Even though Fang Yuan had no good feelings towards the demon race, what Hu Ji did when he lost his memory was not hypocritical. As his nominal aunt, what she did seemed very contradictory to Fang Yuan.
No matter how contradictory things are, as long as that person is still there, everything can be solved. But now, she has embraced death so cruelly...
If crying could bring back what was lost, countless people would shed tears for the rest of their lives. However, this idea is obviously something that cowards are unwilling to face.
Chu Sheng didn't say anything, but just let him vent his emotions in silence, and Fang Yuan's tears did slowly stop.
"I have something to say to my senior sister." The little fox king said so after calming down.
Back then, Fang Yuan left the sect filled with anger, wanting to find the demon clan that had hurt Elder Mo Yan and avenge him.
Fang Yuan did find the wolf demon, but the gap in realm between the two was too great, and even transforming into a demon body was very difficult for him.
Until the moment he was completely exhausted, a power originating from deep within his blood overwhelmed his sanity.
When Fang Yuan woke up, the wolf demon who thought he had won the battle had died on the spot, and the huge and beautiful white fox beside him lowered its head and gently licked his injured tail.
"Are you okay, child?" Hu Ji asked gently.
"I...you..." The young fox demon was in a trance for a moment, and asked with clear eyes.
"Who am I... and who are you?"
The white fox was slightly startled, and then quickly revealed a kind and friendly smile.
"I am your aunt."
The white fox used its fluffy and warm tail to wrap around his body, which was gradually losing heat due to injury and blood loss, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"You are the youngest king of our tribe in a thousand years... King, we have searched for you for a long, long time, and only now have we been able to reunite with you."
Fang Yuan lost his memory, so he left the desert with Hu Ji and stepped into Qingqiu, the fox clan's exclusive land among millions of mountains.
After regaining his memory, Fang Yuan knew that Hu Ji had not deceived him.
Foxes are relatively common animals. They are not like dragons or dragons that have inherited the heritage of ancient mythical beasts. The royal family born in each generation of foxes lives scattered on different hills.
If it weren't for the accident with Leopard Seven, he would have run away on his own and was then brought into the Hehuan Sect by Elder Mo Yan.
Even if he had always lived in the place where he was born, the moment Fang Yuan cultivated to become an adult, the Qingqiu demon clan led by Hu Ji would find him and take him away.
Find the king, teach the king, and give the king everything in the clan. Only in this way can the demon king born use his power to protect one side.
Otherwise, he would be like the Sun-Chasing Demon King, who had no sense of belonging to his own tribe, disappeared for years, and was unwilling to get involved in the troubles of the world.
The demon clan is not a monolithic entity. Everyone usually holds different positions and has different thoughts. Hu Ji is one of the representatives who are close to the demon cultivators.
The Qingqiu Fox Clan was already too weak, and it was a pleasant surprise that she could find Fang Yuan, a cub with great potential. However, Fang Yuan was too young to immediately support the status of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.
Hu Ji's choice to cooperate with the demon cultivator was tantamount to courting disaster, but she also tried her best to protect Fang Yuan's true self. The fact that Fang Yuan was not contaminated by the demonic energy was the best proof of this.
But the Hehuan Sect was his chosen home. Fang Yuan had left this family for Elder Mo Yan and his master. He just...
It was just that after learning of Hu Ji's death, I felt some uncontrollable sadness.
After being sad, the Fox King recalled important things.
When Hu Ji was playing nice with the demon cultivator, she had also let him participate in some unimportant things. The fox demon who had lost his memory really didn't understand, but Fang Yuan who recalled the past was able to realize some truths that had been concealed very deeply.
Fang Yuan once saw an unknown demon cultivator. In the other's hands, the essence of the demonic energy displayed was not a power, but more like a parasite.
The demons strengthen themselves by absorbing and assimilating the demonic energy of others, and can absorb their cultivation through remote control!
The Fox King, who had witnessed this scene, was naturally discovered by the other party, but perhaps Hu Ji appeared too timely, or perhaps the other party simply did not take the demon race seriously...
As a result, Fang Yuan was neither injured nor lost his memory, but instead retained a complete impression of the scene.
And at just the right moment, I realized the deeper meaning behind this matter.
It is conceivable that the Miyin Sect suffered a collective death because of this.
"We called each other..." Fang Yuan said carefully, "that sir."
“No one knew what he looked like or who he was.
The adult's appearance looked sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes tall, sometimes short, sometimes fat, sometimes thin.
Sometimes he uses a talisman, sometimes a sword, and sometimes nothing in his hands... It's so mysterious that it's hard to figure out his true intentions."
None of the cultivators in the ancient ruins could think of the corresponding powerful being.
Nagi Rinyu looked up in alarm: "What do you mean? Do I look like such a powerful person?"
Gui Xuan looked away. "That's right. If he were that powerful, he wouldn't have let Ling Fengzhi become like this."
Ling Fengzhi: "Wait..."
Nagi Rinyu looked at Guixuan, who was practically jumping out of his face in front of him, pointing at him in disbelief. "You, a medical practitioner, are calling me a worthless swordsman?"
Gui Xuan turned calmly and looked at Qi An. "Aren't you going to take care of the Sword Palace soldiers?"
Qi An took a deep breath. "Yuan Qi—"
Yuwawa looked at the chaotic group of people in front of her and remained silent in front of Chu Sheng.
"I came to the ancient ruins with this group of people..."
"It's a bit too late to regret now. After all, you weren't that serious before."
Ya Ge pinched the jade doll's face, and the spirit insect crawling on the girl's body raised its antennae obediently and touched the fingertips of the saint.
Chu Sheng was still thinking about the issue of the demonic energy that Fang Yuan mentioned.
If there really is someone behind the scenes using the Heavenly Demonic Energy to manipulate and absorb the cultivation of others...
The world of cultivation outside the ancient ruins is extremely dangerous for demon cultivators like Nagi Linyou, as well as all cultivators who have dabbled in demon cultivation techniques and can condense the demonic energy.
And... the problem of being infected by the alien demon Black Evil. Thinking of this, Chu Sheng looked at Ling Fengzhi and frowned slightly.
"Shengsheng, are you thinking about the alien demon Heisha?" Ya Ge followed Chu Sheng's gaze and quickly understood what she was thinking.
"Regarding this matter, there are actually similar records in the Holy Church, and the saints of all generations have also passed down related memories."
The Holy Maiden of the Skyfire Holy Sect said this, she leaned over and touched Chu Sheng's cheek, her azure eyes blinking like a cat's.
"It's just that there are too many memories passed down. Shengsheng, can you give me some time to find them myself?"
Chu Sheng held her hand. "No, you can't go."
"Shengsheng?" Ya Ge was a little surprised, but then she comforted her. "Don't worry, I'm safe in the ancient ruins, nothing will happen..."
"You can't go." Chu Sheng looked into her eyes and repeated it. There was a mysterious vortex slowly turning in his black eyes, as if it would absorb all the light.
"Ya Ge, I already know exactly what the Dao of your Heavenly Fire Holy Sect is. You don't need to ascend to godhood for this, so don't go."
A black golden lotus of creation sprouted from her fingertips and then blossomed brilliantly under Ya Ge's gaze.
Ya Ge took a very small breath of cold air.
"Can I ask, Shengsheng, how did you know about this?"
Chu Sheng picked the black golden lotus, formed a lotus pod, peeled out the lotus seeds inside, and threw them to Gui Xuan who happened to be walking by.
"Because when I broke through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, he seemed to be trying to call me through your Tao."
The sword cultivator who was practicing the ruthless way in the Hehuan Sect said this in a light tone.
“When I was breaking through, someone kept chattering in my ear, which was really annoying, so I killed him with a sword.
But it seems he's not completely killed yet. Once I've cleaned him up, you can rest assured and advance to the Spiritual Transformation Stage."
The Holy Heavenly Fire Sect is a closed sect that resists the outside world.
Each generation of Saintess is a carefully selected carrier. Before being promoted to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, they need to find a suitable Taoist partner to marry and leave behind offspring as a backup for the next generation of "Saintess".
After giving birth to an offspring, the original saint will be promoted to the stage of transformation into a god under the impetus of all parties, sharing the body with the "god" in the teachings of the holy religion, until she reaches the Mahayana stage, overcomes the calamity, and finally "ascends".
There are also "saints" who have not given birth to offspring. Such "saints" will not have the help of the Holy Church. After entering the stage of transformation into a god, they will only quietly sacrifice their bodies to the "god".
Has anyone really ascended? I don't know, but that's what everyone says.
They said that after being supported by the gods and bathing in the majesty of the heavens during the tribulation period, every generation of saints would ascend to the upper realm and live forever with their "gods".
Ya Ge never believed these nonsense. Ya Ge felt that all the "saints" before her, both men and women, were probably dead.
But Ya Ge doesn't care.
It doesn't matter what happens, life, death, or merging with God. No matter what the final result is, at least she has truly seen the flowers, plants and trees in this world.
This is what Ya Ge thought before she met Chu Sheng, but after she met Chu Sheng, Ya Ge wanted to live a little bit.
Little butterfly, her lovely little butterfly...
Shengsheng is free and full of life, and is destined to experience all the beautiful things in the world.
Maybe she could go back later, even later. Ya Ge knew that the later she went back, the more painful the ceremony of advancement to the Spiritual Transformation Stage would be, but she was reluctant to give up the time she spent with Chu Sheng.
She felt she had never lived so fully.
Chu Sheng is very strong and talented. She is the female cultivator with the greatest potential to ascend to heaven that Ya Ge has ever seen.
But this does not mean that she can compete with the "God" of the Holy Church. At least that's what Ya Ge really felt before stepping into the ancient ruins.
The power of "God" is immeasurable. Ya Ge had anticipated this. She thought the time and space of the ancient ruins could block its might, but she didn't expect...
Ya Ge subconsciously covered her mouth.
Is Shengsheng saying that when she broke through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, she also slew the "god" who had been possessing the body of the Skyfire Holy Sect for many years?!
Ya Ge's eyes lit up.
"How did you do that, Shengsheng? Teach me, can I have a chance... to hit him too?"
