Chapter 34: Lord of the Planes
The team members were just about to disperse with laughter, and Shamatte walked away, leaving behind a sentence:
"Alas, being a knight on the roof is not easy. I just saw the palace banquet dishes from afar, and I really can't help but poke them. My saliva is pouring down my face. It's so hard to hide it—Hey CNM! Boy with glasses, you hit me again!"
"Yeah, could you please stop using idioms? If you're uneducated, just shut up, okay? But I have to admit, the food is really good. I envy you, Boss, for having such a good taste."
The air pressure at that time was even colder.
Chu Qingkong: “…”
"Ding—what's the dish?" He tilted his head and asked blankly, "Host, have you had dinner just now?"
Hold on, for the sake of his performance and work prospects, you can't give up treatment!
Shi Weizhi: "No, I just had a few drinks."
"You can't drink on an empty stomach." Chu Qingkong said sincerely, "I'll give you some more cephalexin!"
Shi Weizhi: “…”
My hands are itching to have sex.
All systems in the world want to redeem the host. However, if there is a system in the world that wholeheartedly wants to kill the host, anger him to death, exploit him, and poison him to death with cephalosporin and alcohol, it is definitely Chu Qingkong, and only Chu Qingkong.
Once a banquet starts, it will last no more than five days, and guests who have finished their meal will leave one after another.
The night sky was clear of stray fireworks. A single, bright, flowing meteor streaked across, its tail long and splattering like a shower of stars. It was as if the heavens were sighing, a sigh that drifted gently, enveloping the world.
In an instant, everyone looked up at the sky, holding their breath for a long time at the astonishment of the road to heaven that was about to open.
Chu Qingkong: "Host! Do you see that meteor over there? Let's go do the mission!"
Shi Weizhi curled his lips silently.
He rarely smiled, but when he did, it was like breaking ice and snow, radiating a bright light in the darkness. "Let's go."
Although that question was just a guess, Chu Chu must be hiding something from him.
But what's the use of hiding it? Those people are just NPCs in this dungeon.
He is the only one in the world who completes tasks for his family's Chuchu to earn points. After completing this copy, his team will be ranked 1, and he will become the master of the infinite flow plane.
In this way, he can break through the restrictions and go to the main god space—
Take Chuchu away.
…
In the back hall of Phoenix Palace, the whole courtyard is filled with sycamore trees, their leaves swaying in the wind, their leaves hanging still.
The clan leader has already returned to the back hall. The next palace banquet in the main hall will be hosted by other elders of the Phoenix clan, so he doesn't need to worry about anything.
This middle-aged clan leader with white hair on his temples is known for his gentle and friendly temperament. He never gets angry when being joked or humiliated. No one in the palace is afraid of him, and everyone respects him.
He looked down at his biological son in front of him, his eyes filled with relief and kind joy.
The phoenix ascends to heaven, which is certainly a very good thing.
Every year, the phoenix with the highest level of cultivation flies into the gate of heaven. This is a favor from heaven that is unattainable in the entire world of cultivation.
The phoenix with the highest cultivation level this year is the clan leader himself. The meeting at the banquet just now will be his last meeting with the world of cultivation, so the whole clan has put in all its strength to make it an exceptionally grand occasion.
"I'm leaving, Fengque." Ming Lu lowered his head, rubbed the top of his head, and comforted him, "This is a good thing, don't be sad."
Ming Fengque closed his eyes slightly and did not answer.
Ming Lu's eyes revealed a hint of pride in him. "The Ice Phoenix lineage has been revered since ancient times. From now on, you will ascend the throne and become the new king of the clan. Don't worry, although you are still young, you have been taught to distinguish right from wrong and understand reason. In the future, you will also have the elders of the clan to assist you."
He lowered his hands and looked up at the night sky.
That is the direction of the gate of heaven.
An invisible door was wide open, and Lu Li was in the chaos of the night. However, it was the only way to ascend, and it was also the door that the entire cultivation world dreamed of.
He began to ramble on about trivial matters.
"The Phoenix Clan is a wealthy family, and they govern Phoenix City. Go out more often, pay attention to the people in the city, and help them with their work. If the people are well-fed and well-dressed, their lives will improve..."
"Walk to the end of Dongcheng Snack Street. The Zhang family's candied haws, the Wang family's pancakes, and the Li family's fried chicken are all handmade by their ancestors. I must try them when I have time..."
"yes."
"Your mother will definitely be lonely in the future. You have to be nice to her and give in to her in everything. I have written her fifty letters and placed them in a wooden box according to the year. You should take out a letter and give it to her on her birthday every year. Just think of me as still being here..."
"good."
"Speaking of which, will you ever get married? Alas, I know you're quite picky, and no woman in the world would ever catch your eye. If you really do get married, I'd really like to know what kind of woman she'd be. But remember, love is about mutual consent. If she doesn't want to, don't do anything abrupt..."
Ming Fengque: "He is a very lovely person. He likes me too, so he won't be unwilling."
He raised his eyes and looked at his father in front of him.
In middle age, the light gray hairs on his temples have become distinct, and he seems to have aged suddenly overnight. His eyes have crow's feet, but they are full of light, and his smile is friendly and deep.
At this moment, he was no longer the leader of the Phoenix Clan who was above everyone else, but just an ordinary father who was about to part with his family.
Looking at his kind gaze, he thought of the confusion he felt when he first woke up in a foreign land as a child, and the bad words he heard when his bloodline was awakened, and his heart ached slightly.
Ming Fengque asked, "When will father leave?"
Ming Lu looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost time. When the moon is at its highest point, the gate to heaven will open. I'll go alone..."
Ming Fengque: "No. Father, I want to go with you."
Together.
His eyes were cold, like a gloomy and oppressive abyss, fighting against fate, looking at the gate of heaven thousands of feet away.
…
In the dark night.
Chu Qingkong pulled Shi Weizhi towards the direction of Tiandao.
Here, only he and Ming Fengque knew that the Phoenix Clan would fall, and Phoenix City would vanish. Thousands of years later, the path to ascension would be shattered, leaving only desolate ruins. The world would denounce the Phoenix Clan, hating them for blocking the path to heaven.
Perhaps his other two hosts also noticed something, but one just came in for sightseeing, and the other put the mission first, and the mission was not to save the Phoenix Clan, so they didn't care.
He couldn't drag the first person, so he left behind a shell pretending to be asleep and ran away.
Although the latter person's mission is not to rescue, but to explore. The ending of the Phoenix Clan is the last 10% of the clues, and he must not miss it.
Shi Weizhi quickly arrived at the door, stopped, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
The moonlight was bright, the gate to the Heavenly Dao wide open, but the inner gate was devoid of light. From afar, the darkness and chaos within could be seen, the raging spiritual energy annihilating everything, shredding and crushing any living being that entered.
There is no way to ascend to the upper realm. After ascending, it is nothing but hell on earth.
The so-called path to ascension is just a despicable lie.
Chu Qingkong knew that he had guessed right.
From the things that happened along the way, we can piece together the truth of that year.
The world of cultivation is just one of the countless small worlds, a small, unremarkable one. Aside from its spiritual cultivation system, it is no different from other worlds.
As a high-dimensional universe plane, the main god space governs all small worlds. If a small world has a way to ascend, it has the key to the main god space.
But the main god space is only the world of the system and NPCs, responsible for maintaining the stability of the small world day after day. It is in a self-sufficient and completely closed state. It is neither open to the small world nor has any new people ever entered.
Therefore, there is no such thing as "ascension". Tiandao itself does not have the authority to go to the higher-dimensional universe. It is just an important NPC in the high-level martial arts world.
It developed a cruel intelligence, deceiving powerful beings into "ascending", but in reality it blocked their path and absorbed their spiritual power for its own use. The phoenixes that ascended to the upper realms never returned, for they had died there.
This generation of Phoenix leader discovered the truth, and his usually mild-tempered self suddenly became fierce and fought desperately. His goal was not to destroy the Heavenly Dao, but to close the door to ascension.
The entire Phoenix clan went into battle, using all their strength to destroy the murderous intent of Heaven, but the entire clan perished.
In the bloody sky, only the six-year-old Ming Fengque was sent out by the assassins at the last moment with all their might, his blood and memory sealed, and he was thrown into an unknown small county.
In fact, it is a tragic, thrilling and moving legend.
However, the Phoenix clan was destroyed, and the only heir was sent away and disappeared. Thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye. When the historian wrote history, he wrote that after all the Phoenix members ascended to heaven, they closed the door to heaven.
...Then the story begins of Ming Fengque growing up and coming to this time again.
Shi Weizhi heard the sound of wind whistling behind him.
Ming Fengque came, the clan leader came, and there was also an uninvited guest, Pei Ci, who came together.
One white shadow shines, the other moon-blue shadow is dim.
They looked at each other, and at such a critical moment, there was still murderous intent in their eyes.
What are you doing here?
Chu Qingkong: “…”
Why did he feel that if the time had not come for the Heavenly Dao Gate to open, his hosts would have attacked right then and there—
Chu Qingkong silently supported his chin and thought, but it seems that this is not a bad idea. Once they start fighting, it will be a chaotic fight, and innocent people will be affected, and the Heavenly Dao will be destroyed in the process. Then there will be no such thing as the Heavenly Dao.
After thinking about it, he put his hand down again, thinking, no, why are they fighting? Harmony brings KPI!
As expected, all of his hosts, who were extremely intelligent and almost demonic, guessed the truth.
The three of them suddenly flew up like lightning, using single swords, talismans, and double swords, all with undisguised killing moves, rushing towards the Gate of Heaven!
This door to heaven is the key to cracking this copy or this secret realm. Whoever can destroy it first can get the most points for his own system!
The killing intent was faster than mine. As the talisman was cast, two sword intentions pressed down from the side, forcing it to stop. Then the two sword intentions entangled with each other, and a white light flashed violently.
Shi Weizhi's black clothes were stern and cold, like the finest ink from a wolf's hair. The long sword in his hand instantly cut through the sky with a neon white glow and came whistling.
Pei Ci fired all his talismans, raised his hand and drew out his long sword, and in the air he was wearing a moon-colored robe, dancing like an immortal, with a wild and unrestrained posture.
The phoenix wings behind Ming Fengque were fully spread out, and it moved forward decisively like an arrow. The phoenix was so cold that it penetrated into the bones, and its two swords illuminated the moonlight.
The three peerless masters attacked at the same time, and the intertwined sword lights splashed out with murderous force. In almost the blink of an eye, hundreds of moves had passed, and they arrived at the Gate of Heaven at the same time.
"Bang!"
The chaotic spiritual power behind the door was instantly broken by the sharp sword light, and the vengeful spirits rushed out howling. The originally pure moonlight turned into a blood moon, with a bright red glow and a strong, nauseating smell of blood.
Shi Weizhi was indifferent, Pei Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, and Ming Fengque sneered.
The ultimate brilliance is back.
The three cold murderous intentions turned again, and the sword light was like a streak of white lightning, chopping it to death until it disappeared into the sky and earth.
Be quick and grab the first place.
The universe is broken.
Everything happened in a flash.
“…”
The leader of the Phoenix clan opened his mouth and was stunned.
Is the Heavenly Dao gone? So soon?
This temporary secret place was crumbling, and the space was distorted. Countless huge rocks fell from the clouds in the sky, landing heavily on the ground and raising countless dust.
The Heavenly Dao is destroyed and the secret realm is about to end.
Ming Fengque was the first to look back at his father.
At this moment, the figure of the Phoenix Clan Leader had already disappeared behind the stones. As more and more stones fell, they turned into a shadow.
"Phoenix Palace..."
After breaking free from the control of the plot in the secret realm, he regained a bit of consciousness. He was the last remaining soul from that year. Now he looked at him from afar with a kind smile.
I couldn't make any sound, so I just lip-synced:
"It's so nice to see you again..."
Ming Fengque was startled, his eyes moved slightly, and he smiled back.
"Goodbye, father."
Beside the two of them.
Shi Weizhi's eyes were cold, he turned his head away and returned to the safe zone.
Pei Ci chuckled, shook his head, and flew towards the exit of the secret realm.
Their thoughts synced up instantly: Is it a big deal that this guy has a family? Why? What's he showing off?
The next moment: After finishing this job, I will go back and be the master of the plane. I will go to the system space and take Chu Chu away, hehe.
