Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 619 Who are these three, the Holy Ant True Man and his companions, and what is their destiny!

Ant Master, Duobao Master, and Lady Green Mountain finally arrived at the territory of Huanghua Temple.

The three of them had mostly recovered their energy.

Firstly, the spiritual energy here is abundant, and secondly, although he was seriously injured in a fierce battle with Lord Zishan, fortunately, his fundamental health was not damaged.

Having survived the Tribulation of the Second Nine Heavens and dominated the East Sea for a thousand years, the three of them have finally regained some confidence.

After all, it is extremely rare in the world for someone to take human form and cultivate Taoism like someone who possesses the elixir of immortality.

Seeing that they were not far from Huanghua Temple, the group became cautious again.

Although I know that Lord Zishan has gone to Jingxin Temple, I still can't help but worry that something might happen on the way.

The portly Master Duobao stroked his thin mustache and pondered:

"According to that person, the Huanghua Temple in the Heavenly Emperor's palace not only has gourd vines, but also immortal elixirs."

"It is speculated that the Taoist Huang Hua in the temple probably still possesses the secret of immortality, and may still be in the temple at this moment."

He paused slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes:
"Having survived for so many years, with heaven and earth directly present, even if he were truly in the temple, the three of us working together would not necessarily fear him."

Ant Master pondered for a moment and said, "However, it's still better to be cautious."

Master Duobao smiled upon hearing this: "This doesn't sound like something an old ant would say."

The Ant Immortal answered without hesitation: "He's just afraid of dying!"

Master Duobao asked curiously, "Old Ant, what's your relationship with him?"

The "he" they're referring to is naturally the same "that person" from earlier.

Ant Master didn't shy away from the topic at all, saying, "You mean Bai Ze? The master of the Destiny Star Sect, the former king of heretics."

His gaze drifted into the distance, sinking into memories: "It was all by chance. My race was born weak, no different from ordinary spirit ants at birth."

"I was once captured by a low-level cultivator and almost had a beast slave contract implanted in me... but a benefactor saved me."

"Unfortunately, that benefactor was just a mortal, yet because of me, his entire family suffered a calamity."

Ant Master's voice was slightly deep, "Although I, Old Ant, avenged him and slaughtered his entire sect, I could not bring back my benefactor's life."

"Fortunately, my benefactor still has a son, whom I raised to adulthood. That child... is Bai Ze."

"Bai Ze is a prodigy. We are both his teacher and his friend. He calls me 'Big Brother,' and I always respond to him."

Daoist Duobao suddenly realized, "No wonder seventeen hundred years ago, you were clearly carefree in the East Sea, but I was wondering why you interfered in the affairs of the righteous and demonic sects in Yuzhou, the Central Plains. I was saying you were itching for a fight."

"So it was because of Bai Ze that the master of the Destiny Star Sect invited me."

The Ant Master's voice was deep: "I, Old Ant, have always been carefree and have never wanted to get involved in human conflicts, but I have to repay the debt of gratitude I owe."

"Later, the demonic path was forced to retreat to the southern border, and Bai Ze went to Yuzhou in the central land to represent the heretical path and the righteous path to meet at Fangcun Mountain... Who knew that he would never return after this journey."

"That's why I went to the East China Sea to find him, but I was trapped in Fangcun Mountain for a thousand years."

Master Duobao asked in surprise, "Could it be that the righteous path has turned against us, and Bai Ze has been tricked?"

"But that doesn't make sense. Bai Ze is already an unparalleled grandmaster of the human race, and his divination skills are unmatched in this world. He's always the one scheming against others; who could possibly outsmart him?"

He was well aware of Bai Ze's methods. Even after a thousand years, he had foreseen the opening of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury and had even planned against the three of them.

Originally, only the righteous and the demonic factions fought in this world. However, Bai Ze, through the struggle between the righteous and the demonic factions in Yuzhou in the Central Plains, managed to support the heretical faction and establish it in the East Sea. From then on, the three factions stood in a tripartite balance of power in the world.

How could such a powerful and influential figure fall so easily?

Ant Master slowly shook his head: "I don't know. In short... Bai Ze just disappeared like that."

As the three were talking, they arrived at the gate of Huanghua Temple, only to find the vermilion gate tightly closed.

Without hesitation, Ant Master stepped forward, exerted force with both hands, and the door opened with a bang. He was the first to step inside.

The courtyard was empty, revealing what lay inside!
A pill furnace had overturned on the ground, and many unconscious people lay scattered around it.

Master Duobao's expression shifted: "Aren't these people from the Supreme Dharma Sect and the Taihua Sect of the Heretical Path?"

"And... the Blood Sea Demon Sect members."

"They still have a chance of survival... but they seem to be unconscious."

Master Duobao often travels in the East Sea and is familiar with the three major sects and factions in this world.

His gaze swept across the room, then suddenly fixed on a woman of stunning beauty. "Yue Yunqing?"

Ant Master immediately teased, "Oh, Duobao, you have a good eye. You can even recognize a human girl so clearly. What, are you thinking of taking a new wife?"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Master Duobao said seriously, "It's just that he has some connections with that Moon Venerable of the Supreme Dharma Sect."

"This girl possesses extraordinary cultivation, and is protected by a drop of the divine forbidden treasure 'Tear of the Void,' so how could she have fallen into such a state?"

These true spirit beasts, though possessing innate supernatural powers, are filled with envy for the divine treasures that humans possess.

Human cultivators who have survived the Twenty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, and who also receive the assistance of a divine forbidden treasure, are capable of fighting on par with them.

If those supreme masters of the human race were to wield their inherited treasures, they would be able to suppress them completely.

Unfortunately, these divine treasures are all inherited from various sects and cannot be activated by magic power alone. They require corresponding profound techniques to control.

Therefore, even a powerful beast like the Ant Immortal could only sigh in vain at the treasure.

Legend has it that these treasures were all crafted by ancient Taoists with the original intention of protecting the prosperity of the human race and ensuring the eternal legitimacy of the human race in this world.

Master Duobao analyzed, "It seems that the person who made the move did not intend to kill, otherwise how could they have survived? The fact that there are no wounds on their bodies shows that there is a huge difference in cultivation between the two sides."

Ant Master turned his gaze to the overturned alchemy furnace, inside which were rows of gnawed corpses.

"This doesn't seem like the work of the same person."

Master Duobao added, "He is a disciple of the Heretical Ten Thousand Beasts Sect."

Lady Green Mountain's gaze, however, passed over the alchemy cauldron and landed on the tightly closed main hall door behind it, her brows furrowing slightly.

Master Duobao also looked over and whispered, "Shall we go in?"

Ant Master, however, did not hesitate at all: "Since we're already here!"

He paused, then said, "Before we encountered Lord Zishan at Zizhu Temple, we had a premonition, but this time there was no warning at all."

Lady Qingshan nodded slightly.

Indeed, before meeting Lord Zishan, all three of them felt as if a thunderclap had struck their hearts, a sudden ominous sign.

That is the instinct to foresee good and bad fortune. Whether one is a cultivator, an ordinary person, or a rare and precious creature blessed by heaven and earth, all possess this spiritual awareness.

As the three entered, instead of feeling any alarm, they were filled with a strange sense of tranquility.

That unseen connection was indescribable, yet it quietly flowed through my heart like spring water.

Lady Green Mountain and her two companions exchanged glances, all seeing the same serenity in each other's eyes.

Even though they saw everyone in the courtyard unconscious, the three of them felt this even more strongly.

Master Duobao glanced at Yue Yunqing but did not wake her.

After all, they had sneaked into this place quietly. If the Dragon Clan and the other three sects found out, it would be a real problem.

After the three pushed open the main gate of Huanghua Temple, the gate slowly opened.

The scene inside was revealed.

The three of them stopped at the same time.

Inside the hall, a dozen or so figures stood silently.

Ant Master was shocked. He had not sensed the aura inside at all, even though they were separated by only one door.

Beside her, Lady Qingshan and Duobao shared the same astonishment and doubt.

In the hall stood a tall woman in white, her wide sleeves gently gathered.

Her gaze, as clear as autumn water, was quietly fixed on the three people, including Ant Master.

Kneeling behind the woman in white on her left was an old Taoist priest in yellow robes, his face streaked with tears and snot, sniffling incessantly.

On the right were twelve human cultivators. Master Duobao noticed that their attire indicated they were from the heretical Golden Gourd Mountain sect.

Just stand there quietly.

The three Ant Masters were at a loss for words; the white-clad woman gave them a truly bizarre feeling. No cultivation whatsoever, just an ordinary mortal?
But those eyes seemed to pierce through one's very soul, revealing all their hidden secrets to the other's eyes.

This feeling became increasingly real, forcing them to deal with it cautiously.

As Lady Qingshan was considering how to begin, the woman in white spoke first:

“A multi-treasure rat, a purple-gold horned ant, and a green bamboo.”

Her voice was calm as still water, yet it sent a jolt through the hearts of the three men.

The woman saw through their true nature at a glance.

The woman slowly said again, "I wish to leave through this door. Whoever can open the door for me will have a smooth path from here on out."

These words were spoken casually, but the three people looked at each other, completely bewildered.

The woman moved her feet lightly, and the three of them dared not delay, quickly stepping aside to make way for her.

Suddenly, Master Duobao had a flash of inspiration and revealed his true form, transforming into a golden spirit rat. He leaped to the threshold and gently nibbled at one side of the door with his teeth.

Ant Master was slightly taken aback, but then understood and also manifested his true form as the Purple-Gold Heavenly Horned Ant, using his body to hold the door open on the other side.

Lady Qingshan reacted a fraction of a second too late.

The woman in white smiled slightly upon seeing this, gracefully stepped over the threshold, brushed past her, and entered the courtyard.

Just at this moment.

Lady Green Mountain felt a pang in her heart, her heart skipped a beat, as if she had missed something extremely important.

The old Taoist in yellow hurriedly followed, and as he passed by the door, he couldn't help but take another look at the golden rat and the purple ant.

The woman in white walked to the center of the spacious courtyard, her sleeves fluttering in the wind.

If Zhou Jing were here, he would definitely recognize that the old Taoist in yellow was none other than Huang Hua, the Centipede Taoist.

The woman in white slowly extended her hand.

Before Huang Hua could react, a reddish-brown pill appeared on his forehead and gently fell into the woman's palm.

She glanced at it briefly before speaking.

"It's just some heretical and unorthodox practice."

Before the words were finished, the pill shattered, and a black worm crawled out from it.

The insect's body had a distorted human face, clearly belonging to the Langya clan, and it hadn't even struggled yet.

The black insect then turned into ashes and vanished without a trace.

Huang Hua bowed his head and held his breath, not daring to say another word.

The woman in white walked to the alchemy furnace in the courtyard, and suddenly a green gourd vine emerged from the ground and affectionately wrapped around her feet.

"Well raised."

Huang Hua quickly and respectfully replied, "I dare not neglect the ancestral master's decree."

The gourd vine, only as long as an arm, broke through the soil and gently fell into the woman's palm.

When Lady Green Mountain witnessed this scene, a thought suddenly struck her: it was rumored that the Heavenly Emperor's palace contained an elixir of immortality.

Could this spiritual vine before us be the legendary elixir of immortality?

Huang Hua said shyly from the side, "Master, there were originally eight gourds on this gourd vine, three of which have already been given away... Now there are only five left."

Five gourds floated silently.

The woman in white gently stroked the vine with her fingertips: "It's good that this vine is unharmed. Huang Hua, these gourds are yours."

"Thank you for your blessings, Master!"

The woman looked up at the majestic sacred mountain in the distance: "We have the gourd vine, but we still lack the innate soil."

"Then you can ascend to heaven."

Huang Hua looked worried and cautiously asked, "When that person fled just now, he seemed to be carrying that magical treasure... Could it be detrimental to the Ancestral Master?"

The person he was referring to who had escaped was naturally Li Luosheng, who had been possessed by Danling.

The woman in white smiled. "Huang Hua, when did you first meet me?"

Huang Hua hesitated and said, "When I first entered the sect, the ancient Heavenly Emperor had not yet attained enlightenment... I was fortunate enough to meet the Ancestor once. Usually, my senior brothers teach me the skills."

He paused, looking ashamed, and said, "As for the exact age, I really can't remember."

Upon hearing this, Ant-Man and Duobao-Man, who had regained their human forms, were deeply shaken.

Before the ancient Heavenly Emperor attained enlightenment? What is the origin of this old Taoist in yellow robes?

Who was the woman whom he revered as his patriarch?

The woman in white casually traced a line with her fingertip, and the space split open as if a piece of silk had been torn apart, like tofu being sliced.

The Green Mountain Goddess's eyes widened in even greater horror. Without using any supernatural powers or revealing any magic, she had simply torn open the space of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury with ease, and beyond the crack was another place.

This... allows one to traverse the void with a mere gesture.

The woman in white was even more unfathomable than the Purple Mountain Lord she had met at the Purple Bamboo Temple.

She felt a chill run down her spine: thankfully, she hadn't harbored any evil intentions just now.

The origins of this woman in white were far beyond their wildest imaginations!

The woman in white, carrying the gourd vine upside down, stepped into the spatial rift, then suddenly turned around:

"Huang Hua, you've got it wrong."

"We have never met before; today is our first meeting."

Huang Hua frowned and insisted, "Master, this disciple... must have seen him."

The woman's figure had already disappeared into the void rift, leaving only a faint voice echoing:

"Because I exist in the past, reside in the present, and manifest in the future."

"Ascend Mount Tian, ​​Heavenly Emperor... I hope this time, you will not disappoint me again."

While everyone was still in shock, Huang Hua had already caught up, and the cultivators from Jindu Mountain followed suit.

Daoist Duobao and True Man Yi exchanged a glance, finally making up their minds, and followed him inside.

Although Lady Qingshan had some doubts, she took a deep breath, clenched her fist, and stepped inside.

After a while!

Yue Yunqing of the Supreme Dharma Sect and Feng Qingyun of the Taihua Sect slowly awoke.

Inside Huanghua Temple!

A spatial rift spun slowly like ripples.

The two rubbed their temples, trying to recall what had just happened, but had no memory of it.

The final scene shows Li Luosheng and Zhou Jing trapped inside the main hall of Huanghua Temple, where they fight the old Taoist priest.

The group fled outside the main hall, then heard footsteps and fell unconscious.

As for what happened, no one knows.

Now, Zhou Jing, the old Taoist in yellow, and Li Luosheng have all disappeared without a trace.

Yue Yunqing gazed at the spatial rift, her eyes thoughtful.

~

[At the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, observe with a tranquil mind.]

[Zishan Jun held the Langya Spirit Insect in one hand, looking down at the crowd with eyes that flashed with divine light like sharp swords, before suddenly shooting towards the Scorpion of the Divine Mechanism Sect.]

"You dare to play tricks in front of me!"

Before Scorpion could react, his reddish-brown cloak was torn apart by divine light, and a severed arm fell off without bleeding. However, the residual force of the divine light also tore open the outer robe, revealing the true form hidden within.

[It turned out to be a emaciated old man.]

P.S.: I was planning to finish this today, but I got back a bit late. I'll do it tomorrow, Qiumi.
