Chapter 479 The Fruit of the Seven Emotions
The Six Paths Immortal Wheel, according to the records of the inheritance from Buzhou Mountain obtained by Wei Xian, was created by the original master of Buzhou Mountain who mastered the Three Realms and Six Paths and combined his understanding with all the inheritance left behind by Buzhou Mountain.
Unfortunately, Mount Buzhou collapsed later, and that person seems to have perished as a result. Thus, the method could never be completed, remaining only a half-finished initial creation.
The other people on Buzhou Mountain naturally wanted to perfect this unparalleled divine power.
Even with everyone's combined efforts, they could only improve one aspect and arrive at two conclusions.
Firstly, one could practice evil cultivation methods, such as sacrificing living beings to achieve enlightenment.
Since sentient beings can fill the six realms, one might take advantage of this to perfect the system.
Secondly, one can only cultivate in a conventional way, continuing the ideas and vision of the Lord of Buzhou Mountain and perfecting them, but the difficulty is more than ten thousand times greater than that of evil cultivation.
Wei Xian and Lin Chen had also practiced cultivation, but they quickly and decisively gave it up.
There was no other reason than that neither of them wanted to practice unorthodox cultivation methods.
They simply couldn't bring themselves to use the lives of all living beings to refine their supernatural powers, or to use the lives of others to strengthen themselves.
However, to cultivate in a proper and orderly manner would take an unknown amount of time, and it would need to be perfected first.
They considered themselves to have some talent, but in any case, they dared not compare themselves to the former master of Buzhou Mountain.
That's why the two were so shocked when they saw the six Paths of Shadows rotating behind Ning Qi.
"The Six Paths Immortal Wheel... Someone has actually perfected it, and it's a guy who just recently obtained the remnant of Mount Buzhou... This..."
Lin Chen was both shocked and worried for Wei Xian.
"Can Brother Wei's divine mountain descending divine power compete with it?"
Ning Qi didn't understand what the two were thinking.
He simply wanted to use the same Buzhou Mountain heritage to fight Wei Xian.
The divine mountain image condensed by Wei Xian before their eyes became increasingly realistic, majestic and vast, like a pillar supporting the sky and suppressing the earth.
Behind Ning Qi, the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The Mountain Ancestor used this supernatural power to fight him, coercing the souls of all living beings he sacrificed to participate in the battle.
Ning Qi used the faith power of all living beings in the True Martial Spirit Realm to save the souls of those beings, allowing them to survive.
Since the Immortal Realm collapsed and the Three Realms ceased to exist, the souls of all living beings have nowhere to go.
They either become wandering ghosts or die completely; there are no other options.
Ning Qixiu's Six Immortal Wheels solved their problem of where to go and provided them with a safe haven.
Within the Wheel of Six Realms, the souls of all beings circulate, causing its power to continuously increase.
Under the watchful eyes of the three onlookers, the two moved simultaneously!
With a flick of his wrists, Wei Xian created a mountain-shaped hand seal, and the image of the divine mountain before him became indistinguishable from reality.
The sacred mountain is majestic, with countless layers of verdant peaks, imbued with an inexplicable Taoist charm.
In a daze, it seemed as if the shadows of immortals rose from the mountain shadows.
If counted carefully, there are a total of 360 immortal figures, which perfectly matches the number of the heavens.
The moment the immortal's shadow appeared, it seemed to cause an anomaly in the boundary sea.
Within the Boundary Sea, streaks of silver lightning continuously cleaved in from all directions, falling into the Divine Mountain and burrowing into the shadows of the immortals.
It seemed as if something had truly been summoned from the Boundary Sea, possibly the remnant soul of someone who had died in battle there.
The figures of the immortals became even more agile, and in the next second, all the immortals were in the air, with the sacred mountain beneath their feet, resembling a war fortress.
"Go!" Wei Xian shouted in a low, muffled voice.
Instantly, the Immortal's Shadow, riding the Shadow of the Divine Mountain, charged towards Ning Qi.
Just looking at it, it's as if a group of immortals from the heavens have descended, determined to annihilate the enemy ahead.
Ning Qi reacted extremely quickly, his figure suddenly retreating backward, passing directly through the center of the Six Paths Immortal Wheel.
In an instant, Ning Qi raised his hand and aimed at the flying divine mountain and immortal figure.
The six immortal wheels thundered across the boundary sea, resembling six closely intertwined worlds, and crashed violently into the divine mountain and immortal shadow.
Endless celestial light completely engulfed the area, making it impossible for the Holy Ancestors and others watching the battle to see what was happening. Only the two who were actually fighting could perceive everything.
Ning Qixian's eyes shone brightly as she stared intently ahead.
The Six Paths Immortal Wheel collided with the Divine Mountain Immortal Shadow, but the expected violent impact did not occur.
The two supernatural powers underwent a strange change at that moment, a change that caught both of them off guard.
The 360 immortal figures of the Divine Mountain were supposed to attack the Six Paths Immortal Wheel, but as soon as they approached it, they were as if they were divided into six worlds, split into six teams, and sucked into the Six Paths Immortal Wheel.
This sudden change almost made Wei Xian on the other side pop his eyes out.
Though the immortal's shadow is no longer visible, the shadow of the sacred mountain remains.
Immediately afterwards, the sacred mountain, like a war fortress, also crashed into the Six Paths Immortal Wheel.
The six worlds condensed by the Six Paths Immortal Wheel suddenly separated and began to rotate around the divine mountain.
The sacred mountain is in the center, and the six celestial wheels are on the outside.
Amidst the endless celestial light, a majestic figure seemed to appear.
Ning Qi and the others stared at the blurry figure, and a sigh seemed to flash through their ears.
"What year is it tonight? Does the Three Realms still exist?"
The sigh came suddenly and went quickly.
The imposing figure glanced down at the Six Paths Immortal Wheel and the shadow of the Divine Mountain, and smiled slightly.
"Has someone finally succeeded in cultivating the supernatural power I created?"
After saying this, the figure faded away.
The divine mountain and the Six Paths Immortal Wheel below suddenly disappeared into the Boundary Sea.
The sea was calm and still, as if nothing had happened, leaving the bewildered crowd behind.
What was that just now?
Haizu asked quietly.
The Holy Ancestor shook his head, as if a chill had run through his body.
"I don't know either, but I've got goosebumps all over. Could it be an immortal?"
Wei Xian and Ning Qi exchanged glances, both seeing suspicion in each other's eyes.
Ning Qi had a slight idea, and felt that the figure probably possessed earth-shattering power.
As for who the other party is, based on his last words, it seems that the Six Paths Immortal Wheel and Wei Xian's Divine Mountain Immortal Descent Divine Power were both created by the other party.
Wei Xian coughed and said, "I never expected that our battle would turn out in such a bizarre way..."
He kept a close eye on Ning Qi's expression and asked again, "You don't know who he is?"
Ning Qi was taken aback for a moment, then asked in return, "You know?"
The two paused their fight and surprisingly started chatting, which was quite strange.
Wei Xian looked up at the sky and said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, the other party may be the former master of Buzhou Mountain. It seems that the Buzhou Mountain remnant you obtained did not record any relevant information."
"The Lord of Buzhou Mountain?"
After thinking about it, Ning Qi felt relieved.
Could it be that the two divine abilities they just used were created by him, and that both of their divine abilities came from the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain? Such powerful divine abilities could only have been created by the Lord of Buzhou Mountain.
"Is he still alive?" Ning Qi asked.
Wei Xian shook his head.
"I don't know either. After all, the Buzhou Mountain in my possession is also a fragment. Even if I have deduced its identity, I know nothing about its past."
"Alright, shall we continue our battle?"
Ning Qi cast aside distractions and focused on the present moment.
"Of course, we have made a vow to the immortals. If we don't settle the score, I don't think either of us will be satisfied."
The three people watching from afar felt a bit annoyed to see the two chatting idly while preparing to fight.
After such a major incident, these two are still thinking about fighting.
However, the two have been fighting for quite some time now, which has certainly given them a good look.
When the Holy Ancestor saw that Ning Qi had defeated the opponent's Chonglou Immortal Pagoda with his Hundred-Character Heavenly Stele, he was quite pleased.
Hai Zu put himself in Ning Qi's shoes and also in Wei Xian's shoes, and suddenly felt how terrifying the two of them were.
Both of them surpassed her by a considerable margin in terms of physical strength and supernatural abilities.
As for Lin Chen on the five-colored treasure boat, he became increasingly worried about Wei Xian.
Ning Qi's strength was beyond his expectations. He felt that if he were to fight Ning Qi head-on, he would probably have already been defeated.
Wei Xian's body once again resembled a full moon, its silvery radiance pure and untouched by the mortal world.
"Next, I will unleash my strongest power."
Ning Qi responded, "We'll wait and see."
Wei Xian didn't say much, but instead placed his right hand on his chest, pressing it against his heart.
Knock knock! Knock knock!
In that instant, it seemed everyone could hear his heartbeat.
Ning Qi and the other two didn't know what he was going to do, but Lin Chen felt a glimmer of hope.
"Has Brother Wei successfully condensed it yet?"
At this moment, all the immortal power within Wei Xian's body seemed to be converging towards his heart.
He didn't even reserve any immortal power to shield the energy of the Boundary Sea.
As a result, the energy of the boundary sea once again approached, about to invade his body.
The sound of heartbeats grew clearer and clearer in everyone's ears, like the beating of celestial drums, shaking all directions.
The approaching energy from the boundary sea seemed to encounter a powerful repulsive force, instantly being thrown far away, forming a ring-shaped vacuum.
The vacuum was so vast that it even covered the area where Ning Qi and the others were located.
It was as if, in an instant, Wei Xian alone had pushed aside the surrounding energy of the Boundary Sea.
"I've never used this trick on anyone else before, so I hope you won't disappoint me."
Wei Xian closed his eyes and spoke again.
After he finished speaking, everyone saw that Wei Xian's full head of white hair had turned gray from root to tip in an instant.
He stood in the void, his entire body seemingly transformed from what it had been before.
"The fruit of the seven emotions is the path of sorrow!"
Wei Xian opened his eyes again and looked at Ning Qi.
Those grey, celestial eyes were filled with immense sorrow at this moment, as if all the grief in the world had been poured into them.
Lin Chen, standing on the five-colored treasure boat, only glanced at it.
He couldn't help but burst into tears, wiping his face with his sleeve, as if he had been suddenly reminded of past events.
"Brother Wei...didn't you say you had forgotten Sister Linglong?"
He also thought of his deceased relatives, and overwhelmed with grief, he collapsed onto the five-colored treasure boat.
The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor didn't even have time to check Lin Chen's condition; they had just been staring into Wei Xian's eyes.
The two felt that those eyes possessed a terrifying magic, instantly penetrating their minds and hearts.
Haizu was the first to succumb, as memories resurfaced in her mind, with images of her deceased father constantly appearing in her thoughts, stirring up her heartache.
"This is fake, this isn't real..."
She shook her head desperately, but gradually, she became slower and slower.
"Father...I miss you so much!"
Several golden divine runes appeared around the Holy Ancestor, all of which were related to purifying the mind, suppressing evil, and maintaining mental clarity.
Some of those divine runes floated above his head, scattering divine light, while others entered his heart, cleansing his blood.
"The Great Way of Love? As long as I take proper precautions, I should be able to withstand it, right?"
A thought flashed through the Holy Ancestor's mind.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the Holy Ancestor sensed that all his divine runes seemed unable to resist Wei Xian's power, instantly softening and dissipating.
A hint of emotion gradually crept into the Holy Ancestor's eyes, and sadness filled his heart.
Everything from the past—deceased relatives and disciples, countless old images, and familiar words—all rushed towards him.
"No……"
Both the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor collapsed into the void, their breathing rapid and their hearts pounding, gradually synchronizing with Wei Xian's.
The three bystanders, after gazing into Wei Xian's celestial eyes, were all immersed in deep sorrow.
No matter their strength, no matter how much they tell themselves it's fake, it's all in vain.
There seems to be a kind of magic that pulls them back to the past, bringing those who have passed away from the dusty memories into the present.
Whether it's intimacy, admiration, care, or warmth...
This caught them off guard and caused the three of them great sorrow.
The immortal power within them was in disarray and no longer under their control.
The power of the Dao Fruit is evident; it is a complete dimensional reduction attack.
However, none of the three were Wei Xian's target; Ning Qi was.
Ning Qi felt as if his soul had entered a completely unfamiliar world when he was stared at by Wei Xian's gray immortal eyes.
He could not perceive time and space; he even forgot who he was and everything about himself.
When he regained consciousness, all he knew was that his name was Wei Xian.
Ning Qi felt like he was living in a nightmare from which he could never wake up, constantly reliving everything that had happened to Wei Xian.
"Wei Xian, are you going to skip class?"
During a private tutoring session, an innocent girl sat beside him, secretly tugging at his clothes.
Wei Xian recognized her: Lu Linglong!
As he first fell in love, he had already made a vow in his heart that the other person would never know.
He wanted to protect her, even at the cost of his own life, just to see her radiant smile with her dimpled cheeks.
"Wei Xian, do you like me?"
"I...I didn't!"
"Really?" The girl looked slightly sad and ran away.
“Wei Xian, I heard that your aunt is sick and you have to go out to earn money. From now on, I will help you take care of your aunt.”
The two women, carrying large and small bags, barged into his house.
Wei Xian looked at the woman in surprise and said hesitantly, "No, you are a woman who is not yet married. How can you stay in my house? What will your parents think of you? What will other people think of you?"
The woman threw her bags at him.
“I don’t care, I’ve cut ties with my parents, and I have nowhere else to go.”
Wei Xian felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and in a daze, he finally understood something.
"I……"
"What do you mean 'you'? Stop dawdling and hurry up and get out of here. Your aunt and I will be waiting for you to come back!"
Wei Xian felt his body brimming with power, yet he reluctantly turned back before finally stepping out of his house.
Six months later, Wei Xian returned home and saw her mother, who had recovered her health, weeping.
"Mother, what's wrong? Where's Linglong?"
His mother grasped his hand and said:
"In the chaos of war, Linglong willingly allowed herself to be captured by the soldiers in order to protect me."
"What?"
After comforting his mother, Wei Xian immediately took his knife and went out to search for Linglong's whereabouts.
