Chapter 188 World Eight [2]
Half a month is enough time for some news to be passed on to certain people with special status. After the so-called messenger from the upper realm found out that there were two cultivators in the God Transformation Stage who had obtained the inheritance left by the God of Time 50,000 years ago, he immediately passed the news to the other party.
It's just that the Lord of Time fought a rebellious Demon King hundreds of years ago, and despite being severely injured, he defeated him. He is currently recuperating from his injuries in seclusion, and the Lord of Time's eldest disciple is handling the news on his behalf.
The eldest disciple has already reached the level of a Golden Immortal and has a lot of things on his plate. He will not go to great lengths for two cultivators who haven't even reached the threshold of the upper realm.
So the eldest disciple sent one of his registered disciples, who was also a casual cultivator and a terrestrial immortal who had ascended to the upper realm less than a thousand years ago, to handle this matter.
"Since the two people from the lower realm can obtain the opportunity left by the master, they must not be ordinary people. After they ascend to heaven, they can be regarded as my master's registered disciples and your uncles. So don't cause trouble or make trouble when you go to the lower realm this time. Confirm the inheritance and qualifications of the two people, and then take care of them with you." Danqing, the eldest disciple of the God of Time, instructed his disciples.
The God of Time was the only cultivator who ascended from the lower realm to become a God. He was also the most powerful among the twelve Gods who have not fallen yet.
When he was born in the lower realm, he was initially looked down upon by some gods born in the upper realm.
In order to silence those who were gossiping, the Goddess of Time tried her best in the life-and-death battle with the Demon Lord, and finally silenced all those who questioned her by killing the old Demon Lord.
Danqing, as the first disciple of the Lord Shichen, had been in a master-disciple relationship with Shichen when they were in the lower world. The time when the master and disciple ascended to heaven was only two hundred years apart.
Under such circumstances, the cultivators belonging to the Shichen camp have the most upright attitude towards the cultivators ascending from the lower realm.
It was a rare occasion for a registered disciple to be personally summoned by his master. He carefully noted down every word Danqing said. "Master, there is something I don't understand."
"Tell me." Danqing looked at Chen Zhou, the registered disciple in front of him.
Chen Zhou bowed slightly. "If the two men from the lower realm are truly my uncles, why didn't Master win them over in advance? Is he going to force those who inherit Master's legacy to join the ranks of other Supreme Gods?"
"Since they have received the inheritance from our master, they will not be completely ignorant of the upper realm. If they can be lured away by others under such circumstances, it only means that these two people are not born to belong to our camp." Danqing said in a flat tone.
Danqing: "Don't do anything extra on this trip. You just need to verify the inheritance and qualifications. The rest will take care of itself."
Chen Zhou was still a little confused, but after thinking about his master's usual way of saying what he meant, he decided to agree.
-
On the 30th day after the incident, Jing Ke made sure that Huo Yi's soul had become stable due to her secret feeding and dual cultivation, and then she and her partner went into seclusion to break through.
Every time one's cultivation level advances to a higher level, one must endure a body-tempering thunder tribulation.
Jing Ke and Huo Yi needed to blend into this world, so they didn't use any special means to avoid the thunder tribulation. After noticing someone spying on them from the shadows, they took advantage of the situation to break through the barriers and perform a live breakthrough.
The thunder tribulation in the lower realm is different from the thunder tribulation in the upper realm. Except for the ascension thunder tribulation which is purple thunder, the other thunder tribulations are normal white thunder tribulations.
Unless the person who breaks through is a peerless genius that appears once in a thousand years, the purple thunder tribulation will not appear in advance.
So after seeing Jing Ke and Huo Yi withstand nine purple thunderbolts together, Chen Zhou, who was sent to observe secretly, changed his expression again and again. Thinking of his own master who also experienced purple thunderbolts when he was promoted to the Mahayana stage, he immediately sent a message to the upper realm.
It is still unclear whether the two are disciples of the master, the God of Time, but it is certain that they are both extremely talented.
Although the master said to let nature take its course, since ancient times, as long as a cultivator has undergone the tempering of the Purple Sky Thunder in advance, as long as he is not killed halfway, he can at least be promoted to the Golden Immortal.
Now that the God of Time is in seclusion to cultivate himself, it is the Golden Immortal cultivators who need to stand on the stage to support the show. Isn't this like giving someone a pillow when they are sleepy?
Chen Zhou hurriedly reported the situation to his superiors. Other messengers in the lower world also noticed the strange phenomena in heaven and earth. After spending a few days to verify that it was true, they also hurriedly reported the news to their superiors.
-
"There are twelve gods in the upper realm, eight female gods and four male gods. Except for the God of Time, the other gods almost only regard the lower realm as a place to endure tribulations and polish their Tao hearts." Jing Ke, who is already a Mahayana cultivator, analyzed the news sent by the world consciousness.
"Nominally, three High Gods were injured in the battle with the demons. High God Shichen was the most seriously injured, but in reality, all six High Gods who participated in the battle were seriously injured. In order to better suppress the demons, the three High Gods who concealed their injuries are recuperating under the guise of defending one area."
"If we analyze it this way, there should actually be six gods who want to recruit us, and the three gods who are hiding their injuries may be more urgent." Jing Ke touched his chin.
"Can we unite these gods? Let them deal with the rules?" Huo Yi folded his hands and tapped the back of his left hand with his index finger.
"In order to become stronger, the rules have stripped them of their luck and power. If these gods can wake up and work together to resolve the rules, even this small world will not be affected by the disappearance of the rules."
Huo Yi has been a world maintainer for tens of millions of years, and certain subconscious concepts have been engraved into her soul and instincts. As long as the situation permits, she will definitely hope to minimize the losses.
Jing Ke didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment, "This method is feasible, but we have to let those gods take action when the rules try to devour the power of the copy world."
"The only thing that can fight against world consciousness is world consciousness. We must first prevent the rules from getting out of the way. Otherwise, even if there is natural suppression, twelve supreme gods tied together will not be able to defeat the rules."
Huo Yi nodded, she understood this logic. Since this method was feasible, then what they needed to do was to improve their strength in this world as quickly as possible. Only when their strength surpassed that of the gods would they be obedient.
If you appeal to their emotions and reason with them, there are too many variables. For a plan that only has one chance, more variables means a greater chance of failure.
-
Who wouldn't want to make friends with a future Golden Immortal? Even Dan Qing, who was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, couldn't help but think about winning him over in advance when he received Chen Zhou's report.
But despite her heartbeat, Danqing didn't change her original decision. Her reasoning remained the same: if she could be won over by others even after receiving the inheritance, they wouldn't be companions in the future.
Danqing can be patient, but other forces in the upper realm that need geniuses cannot turn a blind eye.
It was hundreds of years ago that the Demon Lord was killed by the God of Time. For the demons, who prioritize strength, it would only take a few hundred years to select the Demon Lord and regroup. Who knows, the other party might make a comeback.
Just as Jing Ke had speculated before, the three gods who were recuperating under the pretext of guarding a region were relatively anxious. After hearing that there was a good seedling, they did not care whether Jing Ke and Huo Yi had the inheritance or not, and one of the gods sent people to contact the two.
However, these three gods were all born in the upper realm, and their starting point was the destination that many cultivators in the lower realm could never reach in their entire lives.
In such circumstances, when they recruit people, they cannot help but use an imperative tone to tell their disciples and subordinates.
This is the general environment in the upper realm. There is a natural contempt for the cultivators in the lower realm, and they boast that their bloodlines are superior to those of the people in the lower realm. Even the gods and their messengers cannot change the habits that are engraved in their bones in a short time.
In order to give face to the future Golden Immortal, the Supreme God sent a cultivator of the Supreme Immortal level. And cultivators of the Supreme Immortal level are praised by countless cultivators in the lower realms, so when he found Jing Ke and Huo Yi, two Mahayana cultivators, he was somewhat polite, but not too much.
"I am here on the orders of Supreme God Wuya to guide you into the upper realm." The fastest arriving disciple of Supreme God Wuya was a registered disciple with an upright figure and outstanding appearance. One could tell at a glance that he had some background in the upper realm.
"Supreme God Wuya knows that you have no sect or master in the lower realm. If you agree, I will directly hand over the realm-breaking pill given by the Supreme God to you, so that you can ascend directly." Seeing that Jing Ke and Huo Yi had no reaction, the messenger added.
"Thank you for the envoy's kindness, but we think it is better to improve our cultivation step by step. If we force things, it may affect our breakthrough in the future." Jing Ke said politely.
According to the information provided by the World Consciousness, the Supreme God Wuya is a Supreme God who adheres to the principle of strength first. Before the appearance of the Supreme God Shichen, his strength was undeniably the best in the upper realm.
But after becoming the God of Time, he could only become second.
Perhaps because he wanted to compete with the God of Time, the God Wuya fought particularly hard when fighting against the demons.
After the High God Shichen had dealt with the Demon Lord, the High God Wuya had gone it alone, severely wounding two Demon Elders, also of High Godly cultivation. However, the High God Wuya had ultimately been overly aggressive, and his injuries were severe, yet he remained silent.
Jing Ke actually quite approves of the behavior of choosing to compete on the battlefield. It is much better than fighting within the family.
"This is specially prepared for you by Supreme God Wuya. Don't worry about the poison. It is full of spiritual power." The messenger frowned slightly, but still patiently explained.
"You two, what's the point of going to Supreme God Wuya? Why don't you come here? Supreme God Bixia has the most female fairies under her command, and her skills are more suitable for female cultivators." The second messenger who arrived also showed up.
They have to show up, because they are all here to carry out the mission from God. If they don't do their job well, they will definitely leave a bad impression in front of God.
"Goddess Bixia didn't ask me to prepare any realm-breaking pills, but she taught me an exquisite formation. Practicing in the formation for one day is equivalent to gaining a month's worth of benefits." The second messenger said.
"As long as you two join the army of the Supreme Goddess Bixia after ascending to the upper realm, we can become fellow disciples." The second messenger looked down on the people from the lower realm in her heart, but she was better at distinguishing priorities and at least did not show this emotion.
"What does Goddess Bixia mean? Things like this should be based on first come, first served, right?" The number one messenger who obeyed God Wuya was unhappy.
"Moreover, the Supreme God Bixia mainly practices formations, which is different from the path these two cultivators are pursuing, right?" Messenger No. 1 couldn't help but start to expose the other party's past.
"My God just likes to study formations. His swordsmanship and whip skills are equally outstanding. If they really fight with swords and guns, it's hard to say who is more powerful between God Wuya and my God." The second messenger retorted without any fear.
"Also, our God has a very good relationship with God Guiyue. God Guiyue is proficient in various spells. If you two join our God, you can also get guidance from God Guiyue on a daily basis." The second messenger added.
After hearing the name of God Guiyue, Jing Ke and Huo Yi's eyelids twitched slightly.
According to the information told to them by the world consciousness, Bixia and Guiyue were both gods who had hidden injuries, and they were injured because they suffered backlash when they broke the demon formation.
Logically speaking, the person who broke the formation should be the Supreme God Bixia who specialized in formations, but in fact, it was two Supreme Gods who were injured, and their relationship was so good that they could give instructions to each other's disciples at will.
Based on their respective intuition, Jing Ke and Huo Yi both had a guess and plan in their minds.
If their guess is true, these two gods should be the easiest to convince. Just tell them that the other party had important things taken away by the rules, and they will probably be dissatisfied with the rules.
When the No. 1 and No. 2 messengers were putting forward their conditions, the No. 3 messenger representing the God Guiyue also arrived. Her attitude was similar to that of the No. 2 messenger.
"Whether you join the ranks of Supreme Goddess Bixia or Supreme Goddess Guiyue, you will both receive personal guidance from both gods," said the third messenger, a bit arrogant. "This is a privilege not afforded to many Golden Immortal cultivators. Don't miss this opportunity."
Upon hearing this, Envoy No. 2 coughed lightly and tugged at Envoy No. 3's sleeve. He signaled with his eyes that she should be more restrained. If the two people in the lower realm nodded in agreement, they might become future sisters.
Envoy No. 3 remained unmoved. She didn't think her talent was poor. In her opinion, the time it would take for these two to advance from the Mahayana stage to the Golden Immortal stage would be enough for her to raise her own strength to the level of a Golden Immortal.
"You two have to think carefully. Supreme God Wuya was once known as the God of War in the upper realm, and he has countless powerful people under his command. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get the guidance of Supreme God Wuya, let alone think about becoming his disciple." Messenger No. 1 began to use threats and inducements.
The third messenger scoffed at this and began to criticize his weaknesses. "Your God is so powerful, so you are also very strong. Do you want to fight me? If you can beat me, I can withdraw."
Messenger No. 1's face changed slightly. It was true that they were both immortals, but it took him five thousand years to become an immortal, while the other party became an immortal within a thousand years. If they fought, it would be too obvious who would win and who would lose.
"It seems that you don't dare. Lord Wuya is indeed powerful, but there are still some unqualified people under his command." The third messenger sneered.
"Although my talent is average, my God is the most powerful. If we really fight, I will only lose to God Shichen!" Messenger No. 1 said angrily.
To be honest, it seemed that these three envoys were showing their sincerity to each other in order to win over Jing Ke and Huo Yi, but as the parties involved, Jing Ke and Huo Yi simply felt their contempt for themselves.
Look, the three of them were arguing fiercely, but none of them paid any attention to Jing Ke and Huo Yi, and they didn't even know when they secretly left.
It was not until Messenger No. 1 and Messenger No. 3 temporarily ceased fighting under the mediation of Messenger No. 2 that they realized that Jing Ke and Huo Yi were missing.
-
"So, you had an argument with the messenger sent by Wu Ya, and after you finished arguing, Jing Ke and Huo Yi disappeared?" The Supreme God Bixia, who was wearing a green robe and looked extremely gentle, asked softly.
The second messenger hummed, straightened his back and knelt in front of his master.
The third messenger secretly glanced at the God Guiyue, who was resting with his eyes closed and not saying a word. He knelt on the ground with his shoulders drooped, like a wilted cabbage.
"Forget it. After all, they have obtained the inheritance of Shichen. Let you try your luck by trying to win them over. If you fail, then so be it." The Bixia Goddess sighed softly, "Get up. I must have been inconsiderate."
The second messenger responded, stood up and stood obediently in front of his master as punishment.
The third messenger showed hesitation and couldn't help but glance at his master who was resting with his eyes closed. He didn't know whether his master was angry or indifferent.
"Get up, my words are no longer effective?" asked the Goddess Bixia.
"Yes, I will obey God's order." Messenger No. 3 also changed from kneeling to standing with his head bowed.
The Supreme God Gui Yue opened his eyes only after his disciple stood up, and his calm eyes fell on his own disciple who had good talent.
"Hongxiu." The Supreme God Guiyue spoke in an extremely cold voice.
"Disciple is here." Hongxiu straightened her back immediately.
The Supreme God Guiyue said: "Go to the lower realm and experience the life of mortals. Do not use your spiritual power. When Jing Ke and Huo Yi ascend to the upper realm, you can come back."
"Master, disciple..." Hongxiu subconsciously wanted to defend herself, but after meeting her master's emotionless gaze, she became as wilted as a dehydrated cabbage.
"Yes, disciple obeys the order. I will go to the lower world tomorrow." Hongxiu responded honestly.
"Master, I am also responsible for this matter. Please allow me and Hongxiu to accept the punishment together." The second messenger bent down and said.
"Since it is your own request, then you can experience the life of a low-level cultivator in the lower realm." The Supreme God Bixia said softly without stopping him.
Only after both of them received the order and left did the Goddess Bixia let out a long sigh.
"Talented cultivators can join any of their ranks. As they mature, they can all contribute to the battlefield of gods and demons," said the Supreme Goddess Bixia. "I'm just worried that the demons might become restless and want to kill them beforehand."
"In that case, isn't it a good thing not to join us? We need helpers, and the severely damaged demons also need fresh blood. Not belonging to a camp will give you a way to survive." God Guiyue said. Although his voice was cold, the look in his eyes had obviously relaxed a lot.
"Besides, they have inherited Shichen's legacy. Even if they are nominally Shichen's disciples, Shichen will not ignore them." Goddess Guiyue paused and said, "Even if Shichen is unable to take care of it, her eldest disciple Danqing will take care of this matter."
"Then is it redundant for me to send them down?" asked the Goddess Bixia.
"At least we know they are not the kind of people who rush for success. Such people have a more stable mind, which will be beneficial to us in the long run."
Return to the Supreme God: "It's just a fact that their cultivation is low. Instead of pinning our hopes on them to defeat the demons, it's better to heal our own wounds."
The Goddess Bixia nodded slowly, and after being persuaded by her Taoist companion, she gave up the idea of winning over Jing Ke and Huo Yi.
-
In the lower world, Chen Zhou, who did not show up to win over Jing Ke and Huo Yi, performed his task conscientiously, paying close attention to their every move, and reporting their performance to Danqing as quickly as possible.
Chen Zhou also reported the incident truthfully while suppressing his laughter: the three messengers were so busy arguing that they lost the original owner.
But just as he was savoring the pleasure over and over again, Chen Zhou discovered that there was an ominous smell in the air around him, and that smell gave him a familiar feeling.
Oh no, this is demonic energy! Someone from the demon clan is coming!
Chen Zhou was a beat slow to react, and then his joy turned into sorrow, as he discovered that he had also lost the target he needed to track.
At the same time, Jing Ke and Huo Yi, who were teleported to an unfamiliar place by a certain formation, drew their weapons and looked at the demons who surrounded them.
"Join us and be killed by us, you have a choice." The demon who came was an immortal, and the arrogance on his face was more obvious than that of any other messenger.
Jing Ke couldn't help but whistle after hearing the obvious threat.
What's this? It's like a pillow is delivered to you when you're sleepy! The moment before, they were still thinking about how to quickly ascend, and in the blink of an eye, the opportunity was delivered to their door.
The main practice of the God of Time is similar to enlightenment and salvation, which is slightly related to merit and faith.
It is known that bestowing so-called fate can gain the respect of others and is mostly considered as cultivating faith. So how can we gain more merit?
Of course, it is to eradicate those who do evil, such as the demons who like to play with the lives of monks and devour their cultivation and flesh and blood!
There's no need to talk too much. Jing Ke and Huo Yi acted very decisively. The former drew his knife and the latter drew his sword. Without any nonsense, they just did it.
-
"Master, Master, I can't find any trace of Jing Ke and Huo Yi. I only found the breath of the demon clan at the place where they disappeared. The other party is stronger than me!" Chen Zhou, who found something wrong, didn't dare to delay for a moment and ran directly to Danqing for help.
Then he noticed that the expression on his master's face was extremely subtle, with a hint of surprise and astonishment, but he quickly returned to calm.
"I know. You don't have to go to the underworld to keep an eye on them." Danqing tried to speak calmly.
"Master, I have not done my job well. Please punish me!" Chen Zhouyi panicked when he heard this. Is the Master going to give up on him?
"This is the demon clan's fault, not yours." Danqing said, his eyes changing again and again.
"Besides, the two are no longer in the lower realm." Dan Qing said in a subtle tone, "They learned the essence of Master's skills, killed the demons, and achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven before you returned."
