Chapter 79 I’m waiting for you to tell me the answer yourself.
Zong Shan had been silent for too long. Although the amount of information he conveyed once again far exceeded Chu Sheng's original expectations, this sudden attack did not make her panic.
According to Zongshan, everything he did was for the ultimate goal of making Chu Sheng, the one chosen by the Dao, the rule of everything. This might make people feel deceived or unbelievable at first...
But Chu Sheng wouldn't be like that.
She was very sure that during the years she spent in the world of cultivation, her master's care and concern for her were not false.
The shared memories between master and disciple are real, the emotions are real, and the dedication to each other is real... In this case, why bother about what the master's purpose is?
As long as it doesn't harm others, isn't overly demanding, and doesn't exceed her ability... Chu Sheng is actually happy to do whatever Zongshan wants to see.
However, since Zongshan had a history of causing trouble in the Hehuan Sect without saying hello, Chu Sheng still took this sudden situation into consideration.
She pressed down Zongshan's fingers, and with a firm yet gentle attitude, she freed herself from his shackles.
"You don't believe me, Master." Chu Sheng's expression did not show much emotion, only a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"You still think this is best, or that nothing matters, as long as you can achieve what you call order and rules, even if it means sacrificing you or me, your goal will not waver."
After hearing what his disciple said, the great monk finally showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Sheng'er..."
You won't sacrifice, why would you sacrifice?
Everything I have done, everything I have insisted on, everything I have planned so far... is to avoid repeating the mistakes of Chongming!
Chu Sheng understood his surprise, but was not willing to discuss it in detail with Zong Shan at this moment.
After entering the ancient ruins, Zongshan's perception of the outside world was already limited by Chusheng's spiritual palace. After Chusheng made up his mind to cultivate immortal energy, the thunder raging in the spiritual sea further blocked the breadth of his spiritual awareness...
For this reason, Zongshan had almost no idea what Chu Sheng had done, which gave her this unexpected opportunity.
The distance between the two of them changed from being so close to being as far as a chasm.
Chu Sheng's soul became infinitely magnificent and huge at this moment. In contrast, Zong Shan, who was sitting in mid-air, seemed particularly weak and small, just like...
A goddess standing tall like a snow-capped mountain, and a young bird in her hand that cannot catch food on its own.
The great monk with snow-white hair and golden eyes suddenly realized something.
Before this, perhaps it was because of the vastly different realms they displayed externally, or perhaps it was because of the deeply ingrained perceptions of the younger generation...
Or perhaps from the very beginning, Zongshan did not think that Chu Sheng was capable of doing it alone, so he had never delved into his disciple's state of mind.
But now, facing the unmistakable majestic figure in front of him, he suddenly realized something.
Even if I didn't do it on my own, and infuse her with spiritual power and Taoism, in terms of her understanding and cognition of the "Tao", her perception and realm of personal cultivation...
I don’t know when it started, but Chu Sheng had already surpassed herself and embarked on a future that belonged to her alone!
Chu Sheng let out a soft sigh.
Even though you are stubborn and unwilling to trust me and listen to my heart.
Even though you have ignored my wishes time and time again, and made decisions that I didn't want to see under the pretext of doing it for my own good...
But ah, but.
Chongming, Zongshan, Yunmengzi, Master.
You once cared about me so sincerely, just as I have always admired your back for many years.
The female cultivator with black hair and black eyes stretched out her hand, gathered the weak soul that had voluntarily given up its path and spiritual veins into her palm, and threw in a lotus seed that was shining with divine light.
——I forgive you.
Chu Sheng opened his eyes.
In front of her, Ye Ziqing's originally tired and heavy face suddenly revealed an expression of great surprise.
"——Xiao Sheng? You guys are coming out?!"
Before that, ancient ruins.
Yuan Qi's estimation was indeed correct. The blockade of the ancient ruins by the Fengxi Sect Master only required two cultivators who had broken through to the Mahayana stage to work together to overcome the tribulation.
In Yuan Qi's imagination, the candidates who can break through to the Mahayana stage, besides himself, should also include Qi An, Nagi Linyou or Ya Ge.
But first, the Jade Baby suddenly experienced a spiritual enlightenment and reached the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and then the Dragon Jiao Xuanming bloodline returned to its ancestral state and its aura reached its peak...
The speed at which this group of people broke through their realms was as fast as breathing...especially Chu Sheng.
For some reason, the level of her realm cannot be sensed by others like that of ordinary cultivators.
But just looking at the vortex around her body that was like a siphon, absorbing all the usable natural forces around her, no one would think that her cultivation level was just an ordinary peak-level Spirit Transformation Stage!
The lush golden lotus in the spiritual palace, with its roots intertwined and intertwined, burst out from her fingertips, almost greedily absorbing the spiritual energy between this world...
With this golden lotus in his hand, Chu Sheng was able to absorb and dilute the immortal energy that was originally too strong for ordinary people to absorb into just a relatively strong spiritual power!
The high platform close to the sky is the easiest place to come into contact with the "Tao", but Chu Sheng and Tian Yan tried again and again, but they were still unable to awaken the chaotic and primordial breath that communicated with Chongming thousands of years ago.
The Tao is flawed and the path to immortality is cut off. They realized that perhaps the situation in the outside world is not optimistic either.
Tian Yan finally chose to merge with Yuan Qi.
“Maybe there is no right path…” he sighed, “But no matter what, at least I tried.”
Yuan Qi lowered his eyes, his expression showing no emotion.
"No matter how many times I am trapped in this world, am I truly in control of the path of reincarnation, or am I simply being driven by the Tao?"
The dragon Jiao Xuanming likes water and poison. After trying to disturb Chu Sheng many times without success, he circled outside the platform in a depressed mood, but found a few drops of dragon blood left there by some unknown existence, and gained a leap in his bloodline.
The demon king, who had entered a new realm, brought with him an ordinary-looking stone.
This black mineral is very common and is the most commonly used metal for forging weapons in the world of cultivation.
But Xuan Ming opened his mouth, and an invisible water film blocked the metal from his body, and the ore fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"It wasn't originally this color." Long Jiao Xuanming said in a deep voice. He handed Chu Sheng another piece of ore. The weight and texture were the same, but the surface had a translucent color.
Ling Fengzhi frowned. As a sword cultivator, he couldn't say he knew everything about minerals, but at least he knew a lot about them. However, this was the first time he had heard of translucent metal ore.
"Where did you get this?"
Long Jiao stared at Chu Sheng and spoke stiffly.
"In the most remote and lowest part of the mountain, there is a bottomless cave..."
"I was there looking for water when I saw this metal that was changing color."
Everyone followed the place Xuanming mentioned, and indeed saw minerals that were gradually becoming stained with color at the bottom of the abyss.
Chu Sheng grabbed a piece of metal and handed it to Gui Xuan. The translucent metal gradually acquired its own color and exuded a vibrant atmosphere.
She pondered for a moment and looked at Nagi Rinyu and Ling Fengzhi who were picking up the ore with great interest.
The translucent minerals were dyed dark at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"...This is a mineral that has been contaminated by the devil's energy." Gui Xuan realized the problem.
"But almost all the cultivators in the entire cultivation world have only used this product contaminated by the devil's energy to forge their own life-defining magic weapons!"
Everyone was stunned.
If this is true, then in the world of cultivation, was the emergence of the group of demonic cultivators an unforeseen accident or a deliberate human act?
Nagi Rinyu was silent for a moment, then took the lead in throwing away the pitch-black metal in his hand.
"It doesn't matter." He laughed.
"These days, even those who practice Taoism may not live long enough to achieve the state of ascension. If someone like me can finally ascend, then we'll see what happens then!"
"No." Ling Fengzhi was originally thinking about something, but after hearing these words, he suddenly looked at Nagi Linyu with a fierce expression.
"Brother, your heart towards the sword is so sincere, so you will definitely ascend."
Nagirin's attempt at showing off failed, and he covered his face with his hands as he looked at Chu Sheng. "Has this kid always been so stubborn? How can you tolerate him?"
"Press the corners of your mouth before you say that." Qi An touched the Luoshui sword at his waist, looking quite distressed.
"So, using this ore to forge magical instruments all this time, isn't that unfair to the instrument spirit?"
"If this kind of ore didn't exist, I'm afraid the ordinary magic tools in the cultivation world would be unable to cause any harm to the alien demons."
Yuan Qi sighed, not knowing whether this discovery was a blessing or a curse.
"I'm afraid the world of cultivation is in chaos."
Chu Sheng's expression was one of contemplation.
Her eyes turned to Ya Ge. Ya Ge swallowed the golden lotus earlier than Nagi Linyou, but until today Chu Sheng had never felt the complete Tao belonging to Ya Ge.
Instead, it was the sword that repelled some existence in the haze at that time, and the close combat that was separated at the touch, that made Chu Sheng have some guesses.
The ancient ruins isolated from the world of cultivation are a place that cannot be reached even by the thunder tribulations of the Mahayana period. Under the cover of the increasingly powerful aura of the Golden Lotus of Creation, Chu Sheng can use this feature to do things that are not convenient to do in the world of cultivation.
Since that being can enter this place with the help of Ya Ge's link, this ability even exceeds the blood transmission and cultivation initiation of Yu Jujiu, a powerful being in the Tribulation Period, then what if all this is reversed?
Yuan Qi was determined to break the blockade of the passage as soon as possible. No one objected, and everyone was worried about the current situation in the world of cultivation.
Everyone was making final preparations to break through the closed passage of the ancient ruins, but Chu Sheng called out to Gui Xuan and Ling Fengzhi and quietly stayed at the bottom of the abyss.
"Chu Sheng..."
what you up to?
Gui Xuan looked at Chu Sheng's expression, which contained a hint of well-hidden anxiety.
Even though he brought out a secret book of pharmacopoeia that represented the highest level of contemporary medicine from the medical field, a certain intuition still made his emotions as erratic as a kite in the sky.
Should I persuade her not to delve further into this matter?
Guixuan's thoughts flashed through her mind briefly, but she quickly suppressed them.
I can't think like that. If that's the case, then who am I to ask her to do that?
Chu Sheng turned around without warning and met Gui Xuan's eyes.
"Guixuan, I need you," she said.
The pair of black eyes stared at him, and a long-lost faint smile suddenly appeared on the face that had looked much duller since breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"Could you please help me?"
...What price would you pay for your guess?
Gui Xuan didn't say anything. He just held the hilt of the sword handed to him by Chu Sheng and clenched his palm slightly.
"I only trust you to help me with this matter. I will put my life in your hands."
Chu Sheng said, she looked at Ling Fengzhi again, took off the heavy iron sword and returned it to him, then pulled out the magic sword that had not been used for a long time and used it to perform the Bi Hai sword technique for the first time.
"Ling Fengzhi, do you still remember the sword technique you used when you broke through the wave of alien demons?"
"Of course I remember." Ling Fengzhi replied.
"Can you show it to me again?" Chu Sheng said, "The Frost Sword might have been enchanted with a searching spell. Try using the Heavy Iron Sword again!"
Her eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she had solved a mystery.
Gui Xuan and Ling Fengzhi both realized that she had made up her mind about this matter and no one could stop her now.
Naturally, Ling Fengzhi also agreed to Chu Sheng's request.
Under the astonishing sword light, Chu Sheng removed all his defenses and took the initiative to meet it.
"Chu Sheng——!" Gui Xuan and Ling Fengzhi suddenly changed color!
What came even faster than the pain was the sudden appearance of thick black fog in the spiritual palace.
Chu Sheng absorbed them all into another part of the thriving golden lotus without hesitation before Zong Shan felt the change.
Anyone who is contained within the Golden Lotus can be disassembled and regenerated by the Way of Creation.
Although the black fog this time was different from the demonic energy, the golden lotus did not accommodate it smoothly. However, with the help of Ling Fengzhi's sword energy that cut through the waves of demons, the black fog was finally successfully resolved into the lotus sea.
Chu Sheng's consciousness was like light, flowing upstream. Before this tiny speck of light was completely annihilated, she rushed forward, following the familiar breath.
Finally, he managed to see a pair of red eyes that were slightly different from what he remembered, but still indifferent.
——It’s you!
Chu Sheng took the initiative to disconnect her consciousness. A continuous and long-lasting force filled her spirit, and finally she was completely pulled back into her body.
"Chu Sheng!"
“…I’m fine.”
Chu Sheng opened his eyes and what caught his eye was Gui Xuan and Ling Fengzhi's panicked expressions as they pretended to be calm.
After seeing her wake up, Gui Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then after being relieved, she became furious:
"——Are you planning to get yourself killed or are you trying to piss us off to death?!
If you don't want to practice Taoism anymore, why don't you just tell me straight away? I can let you choose the material and shape of your coffin!"
"Chu Sheng..." Ling Fengzhi held her hand tightly for the first time. "Don't be like this."
Chu Sheng was completely unaware of what they were talking about. She stared at the vast sky above their heads and suddenly laughed out loud.
It was indeed him.
"Hahahahahaha! So that's how it is!"
The laughter caused the wound in my chest to ache slightly.
She laughed intermittently for a while, and then stopped this crazy behavior in the face of Gui Xuan's increasingly unfriendly and Ling Fengzhi's increasingly serious gazes.
"I know what's going on." Chu Sheng sat up. She patted Ling Fengzhi's shoulder without any hesitation, and gave Gui Xuan a very abnormal and very bright smile.
"Thank you both for your help—I knew it was the right thing to leave this matter to you!"
Ah...this is crazy.
Even though they were on the verge of collapse, seeing Chu Sheng like this, Gui Xuan and Ling Fengzhi were still dazed for a moment.
Instead of asking someone else to do it, why don't we help her...
I have such thoughts, so I must have been considered abnormal in the eyes of others, right?
"Let's go back together. I already have a general idea about this matter." Chu Sheng was immersed in his own thoughts, and his whole body was enveloped in a state of excitement.
"As long as we find the final piece of the puzzle... all mysteries will be solved!"
She stood at the way out that she and everyone else had jointly opened up. Her beautiful soul bowed its head in her spiritual palace, gazing at her teacher in the golden lotus.
"Master, I'm confused..."
Master, now that things have come to this, you should reveal your true purpose to me.
I'm waiting for you to tell me the answers to all the mysteries in person.
