Chapter 323 The Way of Heaven and the Treasonous Son
The inside of the clam has no fishy smell like ordinary shellfish; instead, it is filled with a soft, almost tangible halo, like smoke or mist, flowing slowly.
At the point where the halo is at its brightest, a perfectly round pearl hangs quietly.
Within the radiant light... were two boys who looked exactly alike.
Her hands were quietly clasped together on her abdomen, her body shape perfectly aligned with her reflection in the water, as if they had been together since time immemorial.
He was like a piece of cold jade, his black hair making his skin look extremely white, his thin lips were always slightly pursed, and his features were cold and austere.
Even in his sleep, a chilling aura remained between his brows, as if the air itself were thick with frost.
The other person resembled flowers reflected in spring water; the same eyebrows and eyes softened into gentle curves on his face, the corners of his lips naturally upturned, and his dark hair flowed smoothly down his body, adding to his youthful charm.
The flowing light seemed to favor him, gently covering him with a halo, and a sense of warmth quietly arose.
But their faces were as pale as paper, and the bluish-purple veins under their skin were faintly visible, showing no signs of life.
Jiang Xianwan knelt beside the giant clam shell, her fingertips gently tracing the sleeping eyebrows and eyes of the twins, their eyes staring blankly into the distance.
It was as if all emotions had been vomited out, leaving only two silhouettes, repeatedly scorched and soaked red by tears.
His gaze fell unfocused on the twins' faces, as if piercing through them and looking towards a more distant, more illusory, broken place.
Sensing the arrival of that supreme aura, a layer of scarlet ferocity instantly surged in his eyes.
She slowly raised her eyes, gazing at the void at the highest point, her hoarse voice sounding as if it had been crushed, like the final lament of a dying beast.
"The Way of Heaven".
"Don't force me."
She killed the twins twice!
One attempt failed to protect, one attempt failed to save!
Not even a single word was left behind!
Her hair rippled without wind, and the spiritual energy around her trembled violently and uncontrollably, almost eroding the space around her.
"Who told you to erase the writing!"
The twins shouldn't be unaware; otherwise, upon seeing the message, they wouldn't have been unaware of her intentions, much less react in that way!
When it was time to leave, everyone thought she had abandoned them again!
Heaven was unimpressed by the rebellious son's mad reaction.
"To you, they have always been as insignificant as dust or mustard seeds, and are dispensable."
"Congratulations on getting your wish...you've gotten rid of them again."
As soon as she finished speaking, the pent-up anger in Jiang Xianwan's eyes suddenly surged, instantly giving her face a breathtakingly bewitching and demonic hue.
She knew that Heaven was provoking her.
They knew that Heaven had ulterior motives.
Knowing full well that Heaven would not allow her to resurrect the twins so easily!
Jiang Xianwan suddenly clenched her fists, abruptly lowered her eyelashes, and suppressed the fierceness in her eyes.
It was as if the rebellious spirit that had just defied heaven was merely a fleeting illusion.
Heaven was inevitably displeased by the rebellious son's insubordination, but seeing her unfortunate state of having to endure it and suffer in silence, it was also quite gloating.
Serves him right.
That's rare.
Tsk tsk tsk...
What a disobedient son has come to this!
Where did that stubbornness of yours go?
Where is their arrogant and domineering attitude that dares to expose everything?
Little rebellious son, I'll teach him a lesson.
but……
Let's not upset her.
If you anger your rebellious son to the point of recklessness, and he really goes berserk... who else can do this arduous task?
The six realms are likely to descend into chaos once again.
Three hundred years ago, during that great battle, the rebellious son's life hung by a thread.
At the crucial moment, the boundary marker cried like a dog and suddenly threw himself on her, bringing with him the power of faith from all the cultivators in the realm.
But the rebellious son, relying solely on the power of these beliefs, actually ascended to the heavens in one step.
Unexpectedly, once they entered the immortal realm, they immediately and swiftly stirred up a bloody storm!
They stirred up chaos in the Celestial Court and seized the Mirror of Nothingness from the Phoenix Clan.
The Realm of Boundless Illusion is a pure land in the Six Realms, free from the disturbance of the passage of time. All immortals can linger there, cleansing their worldly worries and purifying their minds.
That is, to cleanse oneself of the accumulated delusions, anger, and attachments.
All sorts of delusions flow and converge, sinking into the mind and spirit, undergoing countless cycles of reincarnation and purification, finally giving birth to a crystal-clear celestial pearl.
The Immortal Pearl absorbed all the seven emotions, six desires, five poisons, and eight sufferings of the world, and from the most turbid and filthy things, it refined a wisp of pure and clean immortal essence.
It is both the void of delusions and the other shore of the soul. It can stabilize the three souls and seven spirits and protect the true spirit from obscurity. It is the number one immortal treasure in all the heavens and myriad realms that protects the soul.
For some reason, the fairy pearl took a liking to this rebellious son at first sight.
I am willing to offer all my spiritual essence as nourishment, to help her nurture and repair the broken and dying souls of her twins.
The rebellious son, in order to cultivate his own feelings and to repay the unconditional nurturing, willingly accepted the situation and was born with a body of crystal and jade.
Thus, a bond between mother and child, far deeper than blood ties, was formed.
Oh, that fairy pearl is the one that hangs inside the clam shell where the twins sleep.
Later, in order to quickly develop feelings for his beloved, the rebellious son resolutely severed his own foundation, abandoning the two easy paths to heaven—killing and ruthlessness—and leaped into the mortal world.
From then on, the mortal world became a crucible, where the seven emotions boiled and the eight sufferings tormented the heart, and he tasted them all.
But ten lifetimes of reincarnation, ten futile efforts.
Each time their soul is reborn into a mortal body, before any romantic feelings develop, their lives end at the age of eighteen, like a series of predetermined calamities.
Until he was struck by a bolt of lightning from Xiao Zi and transported to the Xuan Gu Continent, where he reunited with Feng Yi and the others...
Who knew that by a twist of fate, a genuine thread of affection would emerge in this lifetime amidst bewilderment?
That's why, despite the rebellious son drinking three bowls of medicine, he ultimately failed to expel a wisp of the immortal spirit from the immortal pearl within his belly.
That's how Jiang Xingxing came to be.
These were unexpected surprises.
After all, these Celestial Lords are those who uphold the Heavenly Dao, control calamities and punishments, govern the stars, sever reincarnation, and hold the mandate of Heaven, bearing the heavy responsibility of maintaining the laws of the Three Realms.
Yet all of this is because of that rebellious son, born of defiance, who willingly and repeatedly violates the heavenly laws he is supposed to uphold.
Ultimately, without exception, they were all cast down to the mortal realm, falling into the cycle of reincarnation to suffer tribulations.
As for the ill-fated relationship between the rebellious son and these five people, it all began when she first entered the Immortal Realm and brazenly monopolized the Boundless Realm.
She spent a full five thousand years just to complete the souls of the twins.
The rebellious son's monopolization of the Boundless Realm was already extraordinary, but he went further by appropriating the Immortal Pearl for himself, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the immortals.
but……
The most dissatisfied person was the rebellious son himself.
With her personality, if she doesn't like someone, she'll just pick up a tombstone and go for it. Her rampage across the immortal realm is so arrogant that she won't allow anyone to point fingers or chatter in her ear.
In particular, after being repeatedly disturbed in repairing the twins' souls, she turned around and killed half of the immortals in the celestial court, condensing her immortal veins.
This upheaval, ironically, became an opportunity, through the actions of the rebellious son, to cleanse the Celestial Court.
The long-overdue cleanup has thus cleansed up the accumulated problems and reshaped the order.
The Immortal Emperor didn't dare utter a word, and even weakly asked her, "How about... you take this seat?"
After all, someone who can completely destroy the Celestial Court right from the start is extremely rare!
He was terrified of being killed.
Heaven's Dao: "..." Silence.
The rebellious son completely ignored the Immortal Emperor, got carried away with his killing spree, and then turned around and went back to the Boundless Realm with a fresh and lively demeanor.
However, this child has committed countless murders and is shrouded in malevolent energy.
Yet his merits are immense, and he controls the life, death, and reincarnation of all immortals.
Let's leave those two aside for now.
Most importantly, this rebellious son completely ignores the will of Heaven, as if it were nothing. Whatever he is told to do, he simply won't do it.
They oppose us at every turn, and they fight us to the death.
It's easy to imagine that the rebellious son would have to be thoroughly disciplined.
Di Yin and the other three listened directly to the will of Heaven and entered the Boundless Realm to capture the rebellious son. However, as soon as they entered, before they could even open their mouths, they were beaten up by the rebellious son.
They've become increasingly lost, completely disillusioned.
