Chapter 279 A Love Tribulation That's Hard to Overcome (Part Two)
Ling Yin pinched his palm hard, forcing a smile at Jiang Gu: "You mean that filthy thing... does it have a Chaos Core, or is it your Daoist partner?"
He not only brought the Chaos Core up with him, but he also dared to bring his Daoist partner from the lower realm along with it. This was practically asking the Heavenly Dao to shatter his immortal bones—oh, her son's immortal bones were already gone.
As a noble descendant of an ancient god, Ling Yin had been composed and elegant for hundreds of thousands of years, but for the first time in his life, he almost failed to maintain his composure.
"The past is the past. If you really can't let go, go to the Yuanyao Palace to have your memories erased. Don't be fixated on one person," Ling Yin said with some worry.
Yao Shuo asked, "What path did you cultivate in the lower realm? How did you ascend to this realm?"
“He’s a ruthless daoist. He killed his wife to prove his dao and ascended to immortality,” Jiang Gu told truthfully. “But he has a chaotic core within him, so he can’t be killed and even chased after me.”
Ling Yin and Yao Shuo both fell silent.
In the end, they still had to let Jiang Gu meet with Wei Feng.
Although Jiang Gu ascended to the Heavenly Gate, he did not possess immortal bones, so whether he successfully transcended the tribulation is still uncertain. Even if he did, Wei Feng possesses a Chaos Core, making him immortal, and Jiang Gu has not regained his memories from the Upper Realm. Their past karmic ties remain unbroken, and even if they are severed, Wei Feng will likely continue to be entangled with him in the Upper Realm.
Ling Yin sighed: "How could it be such filth? Even if it were just a mortal..."
The lowest and most lowly filth in the upper realm, even after receiving divine blessings for millions of years, very few of them can develop intelligence and cultivate human form. Even if they do, their cultivation level is extremely low, not even qualified to serve as palace servants in the Nine Heavens. Not to mention that these things are inherently turbid, with a stubborn and easily angered nature. Even the mud outside the Immortal Palace, when it becomes a spirit, disdains to deal with them. These things mostly live and die on their own in the Demon Forest, completely inconspicuous.
She never imagined that Yao Yan would become entangled in a romantic relationship with something filthy.
"This ordeal is probably not over yet." Yao Shuo patted her shoulder. "This kid has always been very decisive, so there's no need to worry too much."
Ling Yin nodded and said calmly, "It's just a Chaos Core. If Hong Chen can't handle it, I'll open the Divine Gate and go in to destroy it."
Yao Shuo turned his head stiffly: "A Ling".
Ling Yin smiled slightly: "Just kidding."
——
Wei Feng was imprisoned at the bottom of Dragon Roar Mountain in the Ninth Heaven. The guard leading the way remained silent. Jiang Gu followed behind him and saw countless unfamiliar magic arrays and divine artifacts. Realizing that he was not confident in taking Wei Feng away from this place, he made other plans.
When he was in the lower realm, he vaguely guessed that he might not only have to undergo tribulation and ascend to heaven, but also possibly be related to the Chaos Core. However, he could not be sure whether the divine decree that Chang Ping'an accepted to build the road to heaven was issued by him. After testing, he had a general idea in his mind.
For tens of thousands of years, no one in the cultivation world has ascended to immortality. The imbalance between spiritual energy and turbid energy is caused by the Chaos Core. However, the Half-Immortal Clan has tried countless methods, but the Chaos Core cannot be destroyed. If the cultivation world is to return to normal, the Chaos Core can only be sent back to its original place. From Xiao Dan's method of building the Heavenly Road, Jiang Gu deduced that the Heavenly Road was most likely built to transport the Chaos Core, rather than to allow cultivators to ascend to immortality.
Assuming that the Chaos Core was deliberately placed in the cultivation world, and his mission is to bring it back, then the people of the Yaoyan Temple are doing their utmost to help him ascend, possibly to prevent this from happening and prevent him from bringing back the Chaos Core. But all of this is just Jiang Gu's speculation.
So he made a bold decision.
He wanted to ascend to heaven, but he also wanted to take Wei Feng, who was unable to ascend, with him. At the same time, he wanted to take the Chaos Core with him and ensure that Wei Feng would not be rejected by the Heavenly Dao after his ascension. So he had Wei Feng swallow part of the Chaos Core first, and then split his own immortal bones in two. He fused one half with Wei Feng to ensure that he could maintain his sanity, and gave the other half to Xiao Dan and Chang Ping'an so that they could build the road to heaven.
At that time, he only needs to use the excuse of "killing his wife to prove his Dao" to place Wei Feng, his immortal bones, and the Chaos Core in the Tribulation Transcending Array. Killing his wife to prove his Dao can be performed for the Yaoyan Divine Palace and the people behind him, and can also temporarily hide the immortal bones in Wei Feng's body, and make Wei Feng temporarily lose his ability to move to prevent him from making a mistake in his haste. This will leave Xiao Dan, Jiang Xiangyun and others to melt the remaining Chaos Core and the immortal bones in the Tongtian Road for Wei Feng.
If he can still successfully ascend without immortal bones, without being able to kill Wei Feng, and with the Chaos Core still in the lower realm, then it proves that his speculation is correct—his mission is to bring the Chaos Core back to the upper realm. In that case, Wei Feng can naturally become the "carrier" of the Chaos Core. With immortal bones in his body, he can naturally act as the "path to heaven" itself, taking the Chaos Core with him to ascend to the upper realm, killing three birds with one stone.
If he cannot ascend under these circumstances, it proves that his deduction was wrong and that the Path to Heaven is feasible. Then he can cooperate with Xiao Dan and Chang Anping to build the Path to Heaven. Wei Feng, who possesses the Chaos Core and immortal bones, is indispensable to the Path to Heaven. The initiative will be in the hands of the master and disciple. At that time, they can lead their people to the Upper Realm and rebel against Heaven.
No matter what, he can bring Wei Feng up here.
Wei Feng only needs to honestly digest the Chaos Core in his body and fuse the two half-formed Immortal Bones to easily ascend.
Despite his careful planning, he underestimated Wei Feng's stubborn and violent nature. Wei Feng couldn't wait for the Chaos Core and Immortal Bone to be completely refined and chased after him recklessly. As a result, he lost most of his life and was powerless against the group of immortals. Moreover, he could not hide the Chaos Core in his body. He had no choice but to play along and expose the Chaos Core to everyone, making them hesitant to act against it.
However, his true form is Yao Yan. After meeting Yao Shuo and Ling Yin, Jiang Gu felt that this was actually a good thing—the Changning Divine Palace and the Yao Yan Divine Palace in the lower realm were fighting to the death, and the Yao Yan Divine Palace's wishes were clearly contrary to his. When he had some free time, he needed to test that Changning Immortal Lord. Unfortunately, he had not yet regained his memories and had no idea who was friend or foe in the upper realm...
As Jiang Gu was deep in thought, the guards in front of him suddenly stopped and said respectfully, "Immortal Lord, that filthy creature is imprisoned ahead. Although it is severely injured, it is still ferocious. Please be careful, Immortal Lord."
Jiang Gu nodded and stepped into the prison.
The desolate mountain bottom was filled with malevolent energy, with only faint light filtering through the cracks. Two azure dragons coiled around the stone pillars, while Wei Feng, covered in blood, knelt in the center with his head bowed. Two iron chains blazing with flames pierced his shoulder blades, and icy spikes pierced his ankles. His heart was firmly sealed by an unknown magic seal, giving him no chance to use his spiritual power.
Jiang Gu's breath hitched, and he strode toward Wei Feng, but just as he was about to get close, he was fiercely blocked by the ghostly patterns that suddenly appeared. The chaotic energy suddenly surged, and the two azure dragons beside him let out deafening roars. True fire pierced through the chains and rushed toward Wei Feng, forcibly suppressing his turbid energy.
Even so, Jiang Gu almost lost consciousness. If it weren't for those blessings, he probably wouldn't have lasted even half a breath.
“Wei Feng, it’s me, Jiang Gu.” He raised his hand and tentatively touched the ghost patterns.
The ghostly pattern pierced his palm instantly, then brutally pierced his shoulder, but paused slightly upon tasting his blood, and silently retreated.
Ignoring his injuries, Jiang Gu knelt down in front of Wei Feng and carefully lifted his chin. Wei Feng's eyes were closed, and it was unclear whether he was awake.
"Wei Feng?" He tried to transfer some spiritual energy to Wei Feng, but the magic seal blocked all spiritual power.
Wei Feng opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at him coldly.
Jiang Gu raised his hand and wiped the blood from his face, then whispered, "Do you still recognize me?"
Wei Feng stared at him intently for a long time before finally speaking in a hoarse voice, "Jiang Gu, do you... not want me anymore?"
Jiang Gu shook his head, touched his face, and softened his voice: "I didn't abandon you."
Wei Feng's eyes slowly reddened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Liar."
Jiang Gu wiped the blood off his face and cast countless spells on the two iron chains, but he couldn't budge them at all. He was equally helpless against the spell mark on Wei Feng's chest and the ice spikes on his feet. He frowned, gently pinched the back of Wei Feng's neck, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you."
“After you ascended, you asked Xiao Dan and Jiang Xiangyun to refine me into a path to heaven.” Wei Feng stared intently at him. “I couldn’t move, I couldn’t speak, and my consciousness was almost gone… I could only desperately crawl out, tearing my bones and primordial spirit apart, and keep flying upwards, but I could never catch up with you.”
“This is my fault. Even if someone was watching, I should have explained it to you more clearly,” Jiang Gu said. “As long as you fuse with the Chaos Core, you can come up through the Path to Heaven. Losing consciousness is only temporary.”
“But I’m scared,” Wei Feng said, his eyes red. “I’m afraid I’ll just disappear into the world and never see you again.”
"No, it won't happen." Jiang Gu wiped away his tears and repeated, "No, it won't happen."
“At the Heavenly Gate, you even shook me away and wouldn’t let me touch you.” Wei Feng turned his head away, refusing to let him wipe his tears, and gritted his teeth, “You just don’t want me anymore. Those immortals all despise me. They say I’m a lowly filth, dirty and ugly, and that you are a noble little immortal lord.”
Jiang Gu sighed, cupped his face and kissed him, only to taste the bitterness of blood.
Wei Feng glared at him fiercely: "You've been lying to me since we were kids. Now that I've swallowed the Chaos Core, you're definitely going to use me again, Jiang Gu. I'll never trust you again."
Jiang Gu touched Wei Feng's hair, which was stuck together with blood, and cast a water-drawing spell. After confirming that it was effective, he patiently placed countless small magic arrays on Wei Feng's body.
Wei Feng just stared at him without saying a word. Jiang Gu had been kneeling for quite a while and was about to get up when Wei Feng suddenly panicked and shouted, "Where are you going?!"
"I'm not leaving." Jiang Gu activated those small magic arrays, which faintly connected with the immortal bones, and then the healing array finally took effect.
Wei Feng's pain suddenly eased. He froze, looked at Jiang Gu, and tears suddenly streamed down his face.
Jiang Gu patiently wiped away his tears, hugged him tightly, and repeated tirelessly, "I won't leave."
"I'll stay here with you."
