Chapter 957: A Spiritual Wander To The World and A Journey To The Sea Of Stars
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The Tyrant’s Invincible Blade struck at the Core Fragnt of the Hao Tian Mirror that was already heavily cracked. Along with a cracking sound, the fragnt was broken into two pieces, with one of them bigger than the other one. Apparently, being so heavily damaged, it would be even harder for the Hao Tian Mirror to restore sagacity.
Keeping both pieces of the Hao Tian Mirror Fragnts, ng Qi was in a much better mood. He smiled at Mister Luda and said, “Senior, just co to at any ti if you need to use the fragnt.”
Mister Luda did not decline the offer. He nodded solemnly and said, “I owe you one.”
Actually, both Mister Luda and ng Qi were different from the other martial artists in a sense that they were aiming at breaking off the connection with the additional self. Hence, one might think that the Hao Tian Mirror Fragnt was redundant for them as they did not need to communicate with the additional self in advance. But in reality, this item would still be a big help for them to attain the Legendary Realm.
In normal circumstances, those who had reached the peak of Divine Fairy would have a subtle sense of the additional self. Nevertheless, it would be a painstaking process to utilize their loose bond with the additional self in order to spread their consciousness into a different ti, space, and universe. Slowly, the bond between them would beco stronger. So people could even take control over it and turn it into their self-projection. When the additional self beca so strong that it could affect the original self, a big change would happen in the people’s realm. This was when the people stepped into the Legendary Realm.
Undoubtedly, this was an extrely difficult and dangerous process. Aside from establishing a fine control over the subtle connection, one had to be wary of the danger of being taken over by the additional self. In a worst-case scenario, a weak point in their mind would lead to multiple personalities, and eventually, one might die of madness. Therefore, during ancient tis, although there were a large amount of Man Fairies, Earth Fairies, and Divine Fairies, a mighty person of the Legendary Realm was rare to be seen. In fact, at that ti, there were only less than twenty Legendary martial artists in a powerful force like the Nine Nether. Of course, the power of the Evil Demons and Evil Gods was growing stronger over ti, thereby more than one hundred of them were actually having a combat capability as a Legendary person.
On the other hand, Buddhism used to flourish in the ancient tis. It was even more popular than the Heavenly Court and Taoism. At that ti, there were only hundreds of Buddhas, Maha Bodhisattvas, and Great Arhats in total from the main Buddhist Sects. Relying on the prophecy of Everyone will beco a Buddha, the amount of Buddhas had increased to three thousand, which contributed to the Thousand Buddha Formation. Nonetheless, the formation was actually made up of the reincarnations of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and many Buddhas that had more than one identity. For example, before being reincarnated, the Guanyin Bodhisattva used to be called the Tathagata in her past life. All in all, only around one hundred Buddhas had attained the Legendary Realm. After the war at the Spirited Mountain, thousands of Buddhas had passed away. Apart from the Legendary Buddhas from the Spirited Mountain itself, the Buddhas from other Pure Lands or Buddhist Sects had also lost their lives after coming to help. Ever since then, Buddhism was not as popular as before.
Apparently, Legendary people had always been scarce. Although it was really hard to attain the Legendary Realm, people would always find a way. ng Qi and Mister Luda were the special ones who chose to cut off the connection with additional self. At tis, they did feel lost. On the contrary to the other martial artists who could depend on their subtle relationship with the additional self to achieve success, both of them were taking a different path. They had to rely on themselves completely to explore different universes and identify the features of the additional self in the respective universe. In this way, they would be drawing closer to the Da Dao, thereby being in the most suitable position to establish subtle connections. On top of that, it was never easy to leave behind their hidden markings. Before they could do that, they needed to find out a thod of leaving hidden markings first.
If they were aided by the Hao Tian Mirror Fragnt, they would be able to travel across different universes and feel the subtle connection between the universes. This would indirectly ease up the process of attaining the Legendary Realm. They might even be able to possess more Legendary features, just like Su Wu Ming did.
Keeping the fragnts in his sleeve, ng Qi said with a smile, “Senior, you’ve been helping a lot. It’s definitely my pleasure to return the favor to you. This place is going to collapse soon, let’s leave.”
A colorless ancient lamp appeared inside his eyes. The black and white light that surrounded the lamp was like the karma threads that filled the world.
Grasping the subtle connection, he wielded the Tyrant’s Invincible Blade and slashed toward the crack of the Jasper Lake.
The blade beam was wrapping around Su Wu Ming and Mister Luda at once.
It penetrated through illusions and ca to reality. In a flash, ng Qi and the others had appeared in front of the Immortal Yun He and He Qi.
“Where is my big bro – uh, I an, the Mad Emperor?” ng Qi pretended that he did not hear Gao Lan’s words before.
The Immortal Yun He said smilingly, “As the Dharmakaya from all over the world are gathering here, Gao Lan is worried that the demon race may take advantage of this situation and invade this place. Hence, he has gone out to protect the human race.”
ng Qi’s heart skipped a beat. Will my big brother grab this chance and go to the south?
ng Qi did not bring Gao Lan along Jasper Lake because he wanted to leave a Dharmakaya at this place to defend against the Spear of Mythical Creatures, just in case. However, at the sa ti, he was worried that the Nan Jin Empire would be annexed by the North Zhou Empire. Hence, he was actually in a dilemma.
“It seems that the Mad Emperor prefers to take over an empire in an aboveboard manner. After performing divination by looking at the celestial phenona, I see no war happening in the Nan Jin Empire – at least not in the near future,” added He Qi as he understood ng Qi’s worries.
After the battle between ng Qi and the Great Sage Equalling Heaven who turned imaginations into reality, the top part of the Palace of Frost was damaged. Sensing a change in the positions of the stars, He Qi had perford a celestial divination.
Hearing this, ng Qi heaved a sigh of relief. Ever since his big brother had recovered from ntal illness, it was getting harder to guess what he was thinking.
Feeling much more relaxed, ng Qi, Mister Luda, and Su Wu Ming took out the fragnted Heavenly Weapons and Magic Weapons that they obtained from Jasper Lake. They were planning to share them with the people who had been guarding this place.
After all, Yun He, He Qi and Gao Lan had been devoting their ti and effort to guard at the rear although their own sects and imperial palace were at the risk of being attacked. Their efforts as a reserve force should be appreciated.
Mister Luda took out the fragnted Glazed Lamp and gave it to He Qi, Su Wu Ming handed the fragnts of Green-Fla Noxious Blade to Yun He, whereas ng Qi was planning to pass the broken Qingli Sword to Gao Lan.
After doing all these, ng Qi looked at the Immortal Yun He while taking out the Xuanming Sword, the Fiery Sword of Rosefinch, and the Eastern Yimu Sword which were all fragnted. He had also taken out the Killing Blood Sword and the Shell of Poison God, “Immortal Yun He, I wonder if you can pick a few from them to forge a divine sword?”
The Mountain-Moving Whip was very useful, so ng Qi was not going to waste it.
“The Killing Blood Sword... did you kill the Rakshasa of the Bloody Sea?” at a glance, He Qi had recognized the Heavenly Weapon of the Blood Cloak Cult!
Without a Heavenly Weapon, the Blood Cloak Cult would be destroyed sooner or later. To date, two of the Nine Demonic Sects had fallen because of Su ng!
Actually, He Qi, Yun He, Mister Luda, and Su Wu Ming were not surprised by Su ng’s ability to kill the Rakshasa of the Bloody Sea – even the Poison God was beaten by Su ng, let alone the Rakshasa of the Bloody Sea.
ng Qi thought for a while and said, “To be honest, I might not be able to kill him without the help of the Core Fragnt of the Hao Tian Mirror. The full power of the Killing Blood Sword was unleashed due to the return of consciousness of the Bloody Demon from the Nine Nether...”
This was an indication of the impending Great Trial.
Upon hearing that, all the Dharmakaya nodded their heads. Hiding their emotions, they had different thoughts in mind.
After a while, the Immortal Yun He looked at the materials presented by ng Qi and said smilingly, “These fragnted Heavenly Weapons are of the Divine Fairy level. Coupled with the Killing Blood Sword and the shell of an Earth Fairy, they are more than enough to forge a Heavenly Weapon of the Divine Fairy level. But the problem is, the success rate is only twenty to thirty percent. If the forging process fails, all these precious materials will be wasted. Do you still want to go for it?”
The success rate is only twenty to thirty percent? Feeling shocked and doubtful, ng Qi asked, “Immortal Yun He, you’ve forged a protective magic weapon using the dead body of the Northern Dragon, right?”
The Immortal Yun He turned his palm upward and summoned a palm-sized dragon. It was hovering around and blowing mist out of its mouth.
Pointing to the tiny dragon, he laughed and said, “Do you rember how big the dead body of the Northern Dragon was? I’ve undergone countless failed attempts and wasted a huge part of its body before this magic weapon is successfully forged.”
Ah... looking at the palm-sized dragon, ng Qi was at a loss when he thought about the dead body of the Northern Dragon that used to be so big. It was definitely a sharp contrast.
It becos so much more smaller!
“Well, I’m just joking. The dragon is able to control its own size, so actually it can grow up to hundreds of feet long. During the forging process, I’ve applied the chanism that I learned from the Palace of Mohism. However, I still failed five tis before the weapon was successfully produced. In fact, eighty percent of the dead body of the Northern Dragon was wasted,” said Yun He with a serious face. “With the materials you provide , I can try forging it twice, but I can’t guarantee success.”
If this is the case, I might as well try to get the real Qingping Sword. It’s a sword that Senior Chonghe always wanted to get but he didn’t have a chance to do so. It’s also the sword of the Hierarch Tongtian, alias Lord Ling Bao! ng Qi thought to himself. At my current realm, I’m able to acquire the classified information about the Qingping Sword from the Fairy World.
Just then, Yun He took a look at Mister Luda and the others. He pondered for a while and said, “After coming out from the Cave of Thousand Nature, I realized that the current word is actually way smaller than that of ancient tis. Even though the Land of Essence – the birthplace of the human race – is retained, the original size of it during the ancient tis was a thousand tis larger.”
Yun He raised his head and released his Divine Sense to look at the countless stars through the barriers and the wind in the upper sky. He said thoughtfully, “Perhaps when the world was invaded by the demon race in the past, the Real World was broken into countless pieces, and only the largest piece remained. The rest might have flown into the universe and turned into stars.”
“From what I know, the number of stars in the ancient tis was way less than that of the present ti.”
“This is also the conjecture of many predecessors. After the chaotic era of the Devil Buddha, the Real World might have been broken up even more. As a result, many places that are recorded in the ancient books of the Middle Ages can’t be found anymore,” said Mister Luda. “This could also explain the occurence of Universal Fragnts.”
As opposed to the broken pieces of Real World, the Universal Fragnts were fragnts of ti. Although they were different in nature, both of them were very likely to occur in the event of a Great Trial.
Yun He nodded his head and said, “Well, I just rembered that the Golden Crow Sect, which is located at the end of Donghai, is very famous for their forging skills since ancient tis. The materials that Su ng has are definitely enough to be forged into a Heavenly Weapon of the Divine Fairy level. However, it’s too bad that this sect can no longer be found at present.”
“You might be able to find traces of the sect after having a Spiritual Wander into the Universal Fragnts and travelling across the sea of stars. Perhaps they are still sowhere around the end of Donghai,” said He Qi to ng Qi, trying to comfort him.
The end of Donghai was full of white mist, and there was no way to walk out of it. Apart from that, there was not any islands or living beings. It was as though everything was eradicated by a mighty person, thereby leaving nothing behind. After becoming a Dharmakaya, He Qi had explored the place several tis, but he could not find any traces of the Golden Crow Sect.
A Dharmakaya was able to release the Divine Senses into any part of the world. After doing so, one might be able to find a Pure Land, a Taoist Cave or a Universal Fragnt. These were all good places for them to improve their ntality and skills in martial arts. Therefore, it was common for the Dharmakaya from Buddhist Sects to have a Spiritual Wander to various Pure Lands so as to visit the lingering willpower of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
As ng Qi was still new to the Dharmakaya Realm and had been getting stuck in all kinds of trouble, he had yet to have ti to put his mind at peace and engage in Spiritual Wandering.
As for travelling across the sea of stars in the Real World, most of the Dharmakaya chose not to do it because it would be a ti-consuming and dangerous journey. On top of that, without their protection, their sects or families would be in danger.
ng Qi gave He Qi a slight nod after hearing his advice. For the ti being, he was planning to have a Spiritual Wander to all over the world and travel across the sea of stars to search for the Golden Crow Sect. While doing that, he would try to acquire the Qingping Sword. If all these plans did not work, he would have no choice but to hand over the materials to Yun He. By then, all he could do was to collect more forces of virtues in order to improve his luck and pray for success.
...
After leaving the Palace of Frost, ng Qi watched Mister Luda and the others return to the south. Then, he went to a deserted place and shuttled to the World of Gods again.
As soon as he entered the World of Gods, a small, red calabash jumped out of the void and turned into a short old man who was wearing a Taoist crown and a red robe. He was Luya.
Luya stroked his beard and looked at ng Qi with a smile, “As expected, you’ve succeeded. Where is the Core Fragnt of the Hao Tian Mirror?”
He never said a single word about the Demonic Monarch.
ng Qi took out the bigger fragnt that still retained the core features of the Hao Tian Mirror. Looking into Luya’s eyes, he asked, “Immortal Luya, where is the List of Deification?”
Luya took a look at the fragnt and frowned slightly. He mumbled doubtfully, “It’s so badly damaged...”
“Relying on the Power of Vow, the Golden Emperor had appeared in the battle, not to ntion that he had the Scorpio Axe with him. That’s why the Core Fragnt is damaged once again,” said ng Qi, putting on a serious face.
It seed that Luya was not surprised at the appearance of the Death Mother. He chuckled and said, “I see.” Without fussing about the damaged fragnt, he took out the List of Deification and said smilingly, “Other than the Devil Buddha and , nobody else knows that you have the Tree of Da Dao. Thus, how could it be possible for anyone from the Nine Levels of Heaven to play tricks on you?”
No wonder Luya is so confident that he will be able to wake up the Demonic Monarch and acquire the Core Fragnt of the Hao Tian Mirror. However, after all, he is still tricked by ... ng Qi shifted his gaze to the List of Deification in Luya’s hand.
It was a list that glittered with pale golden light.
“Whose na do you want to remove first?” asked Luya.
ng Qi answered without hesitation, “Jiang Zhiwei.”
He would save the one who was the closest to the Dharmakaya Realm first.
At the sa ti, he could see the na of Chonghe on the list!
This ti around, he was not borrowing the Holy Whip. He wanted to observe and get more information about the situation first.
Luya nodded, moved his hand toward the list, and was about to erase the na of Jiang Zhiwei. Just then, he paused and smiled.
“Let’s talk about the next mission first. Otherwise, you won’t have ti to listen to talk anymore.”
Once Jiang Zhiwei’s na was erased, ng Qi would need to return to the Real World imdiately. He had to be very quick in helping Jiang Zhiwei to cut off the karma link with the mighty people. Otherwise, another Master of the Six Dao of Samsara might be seizing the chance to kill or manipulate her!
“What about the mission?” ng Qi asked.
Luya said smilingly, “Help to find soone.”
“Who?” ng Qi was curious.
Luya had a serious look on his face.
“The Qing Emperor, or you can call him Lord Taiyi.”
