Chapter 296 Tianwen (2)
"The Heavenly Question has arrived!" all the living beings watching this scene cried out in their hearts.
Before it appeared, no living being knew of it.
But after it emerged, all living beings knew of it in their hearts.
It came, and it brought with it problems.
Hidden in the clouds and mist, Ji Rong was swept away by the giant eye-like vortex of wind and could not resist. She transformed directly into a giant green tree and stood beside Qing Pingzi with a "bang".
Above the cloud-covered cliff, amidst the raging wind, Qingpingzi, with the new seal in his mouth, formed a cloud with his claws, arched his five tails, bent his limbs slightly, and stood with a stooped posture.
As the two vortexes approached, Qingpingzi's new seal was struck more and more violently in his mouth. As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the new seal fly into the air and hang below the two vortexes.
A deep, resonant voice, seemingly emanating from the depths of the ancient earth, rang out from the seal. Its voice was soft, as ethereal as a gentle breeze, yet its tone was incredibly alluring. It said, "Qingpingzi, having mastered many skills, you shall become a god."
The celestial realm of dreams described by Ji Rong flashed through Qingpingzi's mind, and he roared, "I will not be a god, I will be an immortal!"
The voice then asked, "What is an immortal?"
Qingpingzi said, "Those who achieve their own path will become immortals; all things in heaven and earth can become immortals."
"Why are you an immortal?"
“I am a supreme saint who has reached the heavens, and I should be an immortal. Now I have used many skills to prove the Dao and set a precedent, so I should be the ancestor of all immortals.”
Then it saw the newly printed cracks rubbing and vibrating, like a low laugh, and asked, "How is this different from God?"
Qingpingzi said solemnly, “They are different. Gods are born with authority and wisdom, while we are born very weak and need to cultivate diligently to attain immortality.”
Immortals are bound by cause and effect.
When you do good deeds, you will reap good results.
If you do evil, you will reap evil consequences;
Immortals need no authority; they share the same origin as cultivators and wield spiritual energy.
While the lifespan of immortals is finite, their path to enlightenment is endless.
Those who have achieved great success in cultivating immortality cannot change or continue on their path.
The voice remained silent for a while, then asked again, "What is the difference between this and ordinary cultivators?"
Qingpingzi solemnly replied, "They are different."
But who becomes an immortal is your business, and the business of the immortals in the future; it has nothing to do with me!
In this life, I should impart my skills to all corners of the world, understand the causes and effects of all things, and ensure their proper transmission, so as not to fail the name of my Immortal Ancestor.
As soon as Qingpingzi said this, the azure sky disappeared, and in the light curtains, fine, dense, and intertwined chains appeared one after another. A five-colored mist arose from those light curtains, and they converged on the cloud cliff, making it impossible for even the sun's rays to shine into this place.
Characters emerged from the five-colored aura, emitting five-colored divine light. As soon as they appeared, they spontaneously moved back and forth within the new seal, making the new seal increasingly thin and translucent.
The traces of their comings and goings gradually transformed into an intricate rune on the new seal, and then they returned to the sky.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle," these words were like hot branding irons, branding the interwoven layers of chains.
The Path to Immortality Through All Methods, Achieved!
With a "poof," as the inscription was entered, hundreds of thousands of miles underground, the Earth's core seemed to burst open like an egg membrane being pecked open, and a vast and powerful spiritual energy rushed out, gushing into the inscriptions and making them shine brightly.
Then they spread out in all directions.
As this immense spiritual energy was released, "Boom, boom, boom...", numerous mountains and rivers collapsed simultaneously.
With a "crack," the sky seemed to burst open, as if an eggshell had been popped open. Gases interacted, winds and clouds surged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the Central Plains seemed to be pulled upwards rapidly.
Inside the Locking Source Formation, the Mountain and Water God felt the intense tremors between heaven and earth, and thought to himself that the time had come to leave.
He followed the source channel and arrived at the coffin of the Golden Mother Goddess.
He grabbed the source tube with both hands and cut it off.
Then He kissed each of the fleshy spheres that had already differentiated into faces and limbs, huddled together with them, and hid in the imprint of all things.
As the mountain streams left, the water level in the source pool plummeted, almost reaching the bottom.
Si Nu, who was guarding outside, felt the earth shake violently and immediately went into the formation to investigate. Looking at the nearly depleted source water, she took a deep breath of the cold mountain air.
She thought to herself, "I'm doomed!"
She immediately waved away all the cultivators sitting beneath her.
The Fulu Hall is no longer what it used to be.
Minced flesh and limbs lay scattered on the jade ground, the bloodstains resembling a slaughterhouse in purgatory.
Si Nu arrived at the main hall. She looked at the Fu Lu Seal, which was still hanging low and seemed very easy to obtain, still hanging on the main seat in the hall. Her eyes were filled with struggle.
The mangled flesh and skeletons on the ground seemed to be singing a tearful song of black blood and yellow dew in the eyes of the woman from Si.
"So be it." Si Nu narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, "The Dragon and Phoenix Palace already has an owner. Even if I become the God of Fortune and Prosperity Palace, what difference will it make now?"
She shook the dragon's head, grabbed a rusty, mottled bone whip covered in blood and flesh from the ground with one claw, and swung it down.
She rolled up the authority and swiftly moved towards the source-locking array, throwing the authority into the nearly empty source stream.
Si Nu was satisfied with what she had done. She rubbed her hands together, feeling as if she had accomplished something great.
She strode out and said to the group of cultivators below, "From now on, everyone will stand guard outside with me. If any cultivator wants to go in, there is no need to stop them; just let them in."
"But!" Si Nu bared her sharp teeth and said, "You're only allowed to go in. If anyone regrets it and wants to come out, they'll all be stabbed in!"
After instructing her subordinates, Si Nu went back to sleep on the archway.
The Immortal Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws appeared out of nowhere, shaking the mountains and rivers. A fierce wind, carrying the Immortal Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws' will, swept across the land.
The ancient remnants let out angry and resentful howls to the heavens, while the horns of rebirth for mortals have been sounded. Bloodline inheritance is no longer the only path; their era of decline has arrived.
All the mortal cultivators praised the great righteousness of the Immortal Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws who wanted to spread ten thousand laws, and they rushed towards the direction from which the wind came, risking their lives!
In an instant, flocks of birds and beasts across the land of Kyushu rushed toward the Jade Void Mountain Range.
The Immortal Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws passed down ten thousand laws. Although it sounds like a lot, there are more than ten thousand cultivators in the Nine Provinces.
Now, everyone knows this news.
Ordinary people, if they don't give it their all, how can they possibly have a chance to turn their lives around?
Above the cloud-covered cliff, the wind is still and the sun shines brightly.
Qingpingzi bowed to Ji Rong and said, "Junior sister, thanks to your help, I have now achieved immortality. Next, let's go see the cultivators of Jade Void Palace."
Ji Rong's eyes darted around, and she nodded, saying, "Senior brother, they will call you the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws, so what will they call me? Are they going to call me the Mother of Ten Thousand Laws? That doesn't sound good."
We have already attained a new path, but I still prefer the old way of addressing you. So let me bask in my senior brother's glory and have them call me Lord Ji, how about that?"
Qingpingzi smiled and said, "Junior Sister is being modest, of course."
Below the cloud cliff, the cultivators of Jade Void Palace had already arrived. They stood respectfully to one side, and upon seeing Qingpingzi's figure, they all bowed and said, "Greetings to the Immortal Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws."
Qingpingzi took the newly formed Myriad Laws Dao Seal from the air and placed it back into his brow.
Then, he pointed at Ji Rong and said, "Junior Sister Qing Ji Zi helped me achieve enlightenment. From today onwards, all those who have mastered my method must respectfully address Qing Ji Zi as Lord Ji!"
The cultivators of Jade Void Palace then addressed Ji Rong, who was holding the sphere in his claws, saying, "Greetings, Lord Ji!" The voices were loud and powerful, making Ji Rong's scalp tingle and his blood rush to his head!
