"This...this is your natal magic weapon, Lady White Lady, what are you going to do..." Ji Wuhen looked surprised.
Aunt Bai took a deep breath and said, "My lifespan is coming to an end, and I'm afraid I will no longer be able to control Banbuduo. To ensure everything goes smoothly, I would like to trouble you to give this pipe to the Emperor when he returns! This is the only thing I can do now!"
"What??"
Ji Wuhen couldn't help but widen his eyes.
In his mind, immortals had incredibly long lifespans. If Aunt Bai were willing, she could probably live for tens of thousands of years, or even survive the next death calamity. But he never expected...
Aunt Bai sighed and said, "I originally had a long lifespan, but recently there has been too much negative energy. My magic power has been operating beyond its capacity, resulting in a severe depletion of my vital energy. In addition, my fate is tied to the seal of Banbuduo. Banbuduo seals the powerful resentment that has accumulated over tens of thousands of years. Recently, the resentment has been amplified by negative energy, causing it to swell even more and may break the seal at any time!"
"You know, resentment is very difficult to eliminate. After so many years, it has accumulated to an unimaginable terrifying level. Therefore, we cannot afford any mistakes. I have decided to use all my remaining magic power to reinforce the seal!"
"This pipe, besides absorbing negative energy, is also the only thing that can control the Half-Step Seal. It cannot be lost in any way. Now I have no one left in the world I can trust, so I can only entrust it to you, Divine Blood! When the Human Emperor returns, you can hand it over to him for disposal!" Aunt Bai said calmly, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her, or as if she had already disregarded life and death.
Ji Wuhen slowly took the pipe from Lady Bai's hand, his old eyes trembling slightly.
At this moment, he didn't know what to say. He simply took a step back, clasped his hands in a fist, and the other people with divine blood made the same gesture, their faces full of awe.
Although she was a demon, she was a great demon.
No, she is a god, at least in the eyes of the divine blood at this moment, she is a great god.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to Lady White!"
Ji Wuhen choked with sobs, and Shen Xue and his companion bowed deeply, bidding them farewell with tears in their eyes.
brush!
Lady White nodded, turned around, transformed into a beam of white light, and disappeared into the garden.
"Red Leaves!" Ji Wuhen called out.
Feng Hongye quickly stepped forward, "Grandpa Ji!"
Ji Wuhen handed her the golden pipe and said, "This pipe is for you to keep safe. Don't let anyone know where it is! This is something we, the divine bloodline, must protect to the death!"
"Grandpa Ji, are you afraid that the Void Maiden will get this item?" Feng Hongye asked, puzzled.
Ji Wuhen shook his head. "This item is a magical artifact used to seal resentment. The Void Maiden can only create resentment, but she cannot utilize it. This item is useless to her!"
Feng Hongye was slightly taken aback. "Then who in this world needs resentment?"
"Only that person!"
Ji Wuhen glanced south, his gaze piercing through the vast void, settling on the direction of the South China Sea, where the sun's rays formed a matrix, though the light was growing increasingly faint.
"Grandpa Ji, what you're saying is probably..." Feng Hongye seemed to realize something.
Ji Wuhen nodded. "That's right, it's the owner of the mountain behind the arbitration tribunal!"
He sighed and continued, "He was originally the most amazing genius in the world, on par with your grandfather Feng Li. However, in order to break through to the Xuan Realm as soon as possible, he took a crooked path and entered the evil path! He attracted the resentment of the world into his body, wanting to transform into resentment, attain immortality in an alternative way!"
"To achieve immortality by cultivating resentment?"
Everyone was shocked.
Just how evil is this person?
Others achieve immortality by cultivating their understanding of nature through flowers, plants, and trees, and even by transforming themselves into the sky. Yet this person actually entered the Dao through resentment!
Ji Wuhen nodded and said, "That's right! Enlightenment is difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven. If it were easy, we Xuanjing cultivators wouldn't have been shackled for so many years! The Dao is something that can be encountered but not sought, but resentment is the easiest thing to obtain in this world. Because as long as people live, they have negative emotions, desires, killing, and greed. These are constantly nourishing resentment. Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, resentment has increased, human morality has gradually declined, and etiquette and music have collapsed. At the same time, it can also trigger death calamities. Resentment and death calamities in the world are complementary. Rather than saying that death calamities have descended, it is more accurate to say that our human race has willingly fallen into depravity, which has brought about its own death calamities!"
Feng Hongye's eyes flickered slightly. "I suddenly understand. This seems to be a kind of purification by the Heavenly Dao. Whenever human desires become too intense, it will activate the purification mode, bringing about a calamity of death, annihilating all people, and then restarting civilization and the new era!"
Ji Wuhen nodded and said, "You understand correctly. This is a natural law. However, this will lead to indiscriminate attacks. It's one thing for bad people to die, but innocent good people will also be affected! As human beings, we all live with all our might, especially us cultivators. Cultivation is to fight against the Heavenly Dao, pursue longevity, and achieve immortality. We are unwilling to be annihilated!"
"Moreover, this is not just a matter of resentment. Just as people have lifespans, so too does the world. After each death calamity, the void will approach by a fraction, and the entire Saha world will shrink. Sooner or later, our world will disappear into the dust of the universe. Formation, existence, decay, and emptiness—this is the process of the universe from birth to destruction! Our immortal beings are unwilling to see our home, on which we depend for survival, destroyed. They have followed one after another, trying every means to stop the void's advance. Even the Human Emperor transformed into the Void to delay the void's progress! They are all so great!"
After hearing Ji Wuhen's description, everyone immediately agreed.
Looking at the entire history of humankind, it is truly tragic.
It is so moving and poignant.
To live is to yearn for beauty and kindness!
To live is to be indomitable!
The reason why humanity has been able to fight to this day is because they firmly believe that good will prevail over evil!
"Grandpa Ji, don't worry, I will protect this pipe! I will protect it with my life!" Feng Hongye solemnly promised.
Ji Wuhen nodded and said, "As I expected, that person from the South China Sea will come ashore soon. Before Lin Yu returns, don't let him find you. Remember what I said, you must not let him find you. No matter what happens to our Divine Blood, don't interfere. Your task is to protect this pipe!"
Feng Hongye nodded emphatically, "I will!"
Boom!
On that day, the entire earth shook as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred.
The epicenter was located in the South China Sea.
The enormous amplitude of the vibrations rippled outwards from the continental shelf, and its consequence, naturally, was the triggering of a massive tsunami.
In a single day, the coastal areas were flooded by surging seawater, and strong winds swept up dark clouds that made landfall on the coastline.
The sun's rays were completely obscured by the dark clouds, and in a daze, an old man shrouded in black mist finally stepped onto land.
A massive disaster is about to strike!
