The devil descended from the sky, and his fists suppressed the mountains and rivers

Chapter 307 The Three Flowers Gather at the Crown: The Deity Absorbs Qi and Remains Immortal (Part 2)
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the old man with the gauze slowly closed his eyes, appearing as if he had entered a meditative state.

Having been repeatedly proven wrong at lightning speed, his desire to express himself has been completely extinguished.

Seeing the old man with his eyes closed and silent, the other four looked away, exchanging surprised glances.

Although the Inquisition's strength has been greatly reduced after what happened back then, it is still not to be underestimated. It has a deep foundation and is now able to reopen the gates of Heaven and recreate the twelve-winged form.

Even so, the divination slip still ended up in the hands of Devi Punk from the Star Kingdom.

Originally, they thought that Yi Beidou's emergence in the secular world was just an exception, but now it seems that this is not the case; this era is indeed extraordinary.

"The Twin Stars of the East and West? These two are probably strong enough to contend with the Sleepers. The next stage of the competition is the key. They already have the potential to influence the entire competitive landscape."

The gentlemanly old man said softly.

"I heard that these two didn't consume any Earth Immortal cells, yet they were able to reach this level. It's truly unbelievable. How did they do it? In this era, is it really possible for someone to break through the biological limits on their own?"

The beautiful woman said with a solemn expression.

"These are not things we need to worry about. What we really need to worry about is our mission. In any case, the secret of the Earth Immortal and the Separation of Heaven and Earth must not be revealed."

The old man with the gauze bandage opened his eyes and said in a solemn tone.

"In fact, if they really break through the limits that no one has reached before, then they may become living 'earth immortals,' and the fate of the human race will be completely changed as a result. What I want to say is, if it really comes to that, is it still meaningful for us to continue to guard that secret? And can we really keep it?"

"So many years have passed, the world has changed, and everything has turned out differently. Haven't you all thought about us?"

A young Asian man spoke up.

Their lineage of deification only has the method of inheritance and the ancestral precepts and oaths that must be obeyed. As for the reasons for the birth of the oaths, including what the secret of the Earth Immortal is, what the severing of the connection between heaven and earth is, and why the secrets cannot be known to the world, they are also completely ignorant. For thousands of years, only the guesses of some predecessors have been passed down orally.

The best way to keep a secret of this level throughout history is to ensure that even the person keeping the secret doesn't know the answer. Otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that all future generations will remain unmoved by the secret and won't reveal it.

“Yichen, your idea is dangerous. With the abilities of our ancestors, they must have already considered all the consequences. As a senior who has come before, I need to tell you that we don’t need to think, we just need to execute and do what we have vowed. There is no need to consider any other possibilities.”

The old man with the gauze bandage changed his expression and tone, appearing quite serious and sharp.

"If that day ever comes, and we become obstacles to humanity and the flow of history, how should we respond?"

The young Asian man asked.

"If that day ever comes, let the wheels of history roll over us and sweep us into the dust."

The old man with the gauze bandages turned sharp, but then his expression softened as he swept his gaze over everyone present and said, “Everyone, this is also our mission. Perhaps this is the true meaning of the oath. We are the ‘trials’ left to us by our ancestors.”

For a moment, the leaders in the meeting room fell silent.

A trial?
the other side.

Within the Lotus Realm.

The lotus flower, seated cross-legged on its lotus throne, also learned of the battle situation in both Juncheng and Paris.

This time, even he fell silent for a moment.

He has always paid close attention to Yi Beidou and therefore knows his growth trajectory very well.

Without using the Earth Immortal Cells and knowing no ancient secrets, it seems that the Wandering Immortal didn't teach him anything beyond the fundamental method of the Free Mind Technique.

His success today is partly due to his unique physical condition, but more importantly, it stems from his own hard work and perseverance.

Throughout history, there have been many beings with the body of a celestial demon, and Yi Beidou was not the only one who obtained the opportunity to cultivate, but who has reached his current level?
This has nothing to do with physical constitution or external objects, but rather with the person.

The same goes for DeeVey Punk from Star Kingdom.

They all suppressed the evidence of the ancients possessing the cells of the Earth Immortal through their own efforts.

"Is it really possible for them to break through the limits that humans cannot surpass? Is their path the right one? Fuyaozi, was all of this within your expectations? And what can you gain from it?"

Lotus whispered to herself.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and a golden lotus bloomed beneath him, enveloping his figure. The lotus trembled continuously, as if connecting to another world.

In the boundless darkness, a long river, like the Milky Way, runs through the darkness, its origin and end nowhere to be seen.

In this long river, countless mirages, like images, flicker and rise, drifting with the current and flowing into the distance.

At this very moment, a dazzling star leaps out of the Milky Way, breaking free from the currents that are difficult for ordinary people to escape, and floats above the long river.

The star changed shape and transformed into a golden lotus, which rapidly grew and expanded in the darkness.

The golden lotus bloomed, and the lotus flower appeared in the bud, sitting gracefully on the lotus platform.

He looked down at the rushing river in the darkness. In the hundreds and thousands of years since he gained the ability to enter this place, the river had undergone tremendous changes.

Over the past century, the changes in the river have become increasingly apparent.

now.

Wow! Wow!
Lotus could clearly see the river rushing, surging and churning, displaying unprecedented vitality and intensity.

"Is the river of humanity, flowing ever more turbulent than ever before, because worldly people have made unprecedented breakthroughs?"

Lotus whispered to herself.

The river of humanity, formed by the wisdom and subconsciousness of countless beings throughout history, is the most vast and profound magnetic force, surpassing all "divine" magnetic fields.

Those who can even slightly influence some of its power are supreme beings who can change the history of humankind and attain Buddhahood or become patriarchs.

Lotus believes that if the Wandering Immortals truly have a backup plan, it must be related to this River of Humanity.

"Back then, even Buddha and Daoist masters could not use the power of the River of Humanity to break through the limits of the human body and achieve immortality. At most, they could only entrust a part of their consciousness and the Great Dao to the Void Realm for future generations to admire. What can you do?"

Lotus said softly.

"What our predecessors couldn't do, our successors may be able to do as well. Of course, you old fogies probably can't understand this principle."

Just then, a soft laugh suddenly came from the side, causing Lotus's pupils to contract slightly and her body to tremble as she looked in the direction from which the consciousness had originated.

In the void of darkness, a dark vortex appeared, and a figure stepped out from it.

Wearing a white lab coat, tall and broad-shouldered, his appearance made it impossible to discern his ethnicity, or rather, his features resembled those of most major ethnic groups on Earth.

"Bereta, you dare to show your face here, in front of me? You probably didn't come here just to chat, did you?"

Lotus calmed down and said softly, "The person who appeared was not You Xian, but Dr. Beretta, an important figure in the Pioneer Group who had clashed with Yi Beidou several times across the ocean."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Just as the lotus spoke, Dr. Beretta's body suddenly exploded in various places, and from the gaps, lotus flowers bloomed, appearing both eerie and beautiful.

"This 'Thousand Lotus Heart Lock' has been trapping me for thirty years, hasn't it?"

Dr. Beretta remained unmoved, a smile still appearing on her face, which blossomed with lotus flowers.

“Some things are inescapable, like fate, like cause and effect. You are where you are today because of my upbringing. I am your mentor, so you must repay this cause and effect.”

"If one day I can break free from my mortal body, transcend the cycle of reincarnation, and become an earth immortal, then that will be the time when you regain your freedom."

Lotus said calmly.

"There's something you might have forgotten: my success today isn't solely due to your guidance, but also to the information left behind by Youxian."

“Strictly speaking, both you and Youxian can be considered my masters. Do you really think I would just sit idly by and hand everything over to someone else?”

"I was just waiting for the right opportunity. Now that those two young men, Diwei and Yi Beidou, have caused quite a stir in the Mediterranean, as someone from the same era, I can no longer remain unknown, can I?"

Beretta said with a smile.

The next moment, his body suddenly trembled, and multiple images appeared.

One begets two, two begets three
Countless superimposed images appeared in the void, and each superimposed image was so real, as if Beretta had divided her spirit into countless parts.

This can no longer be described as schizophrenia.

It was during this process that the Thousand Lotus Heart Lock, which Lotus had placed within Beretta's consciousness, also split apart, greatly weakening its power.

"You think you can fight my restrictions this way? Too bad, have you forgotten one thing? I'm right in front of you."

Lotus remained unmoved, still appearing utterly serene.

hum! !

The golden lotus platform beneath him trembled, releasing dazzling golden light. On Beretta's countless divided spirits, the lotus seal, which had been weakened, seemed to be reinforced again, and the lotus began to spread and grow.

That's what makes this restriction so terrifying.

Lotus can use this restriction to transfer consciousness through the River of Humanity, and can project its consciousness onto the person it descends upon at any time. This means that if the other party resists, it can know immediately and descend to reinforce the connection.

To some extent, Dr. Beretta's remote control and deployment of chips was achieved using this method.

As he said, the lotus was his mentor, and his supernatural powers were inherited from the lotus.

This is an inescapable, immense cause and effect.

"Of course I know that, but have you ever thought about why I deliberately chose this location?"

Beretta's smile remained unchanged.

next moment.

Wow! !
The ever-flowing river of humanity beneath them suddenly surged, creating a small wave that sent spray of water rushing toward the two of them.

"you?!!"

Lotus's pupils suddenly contracted.

He simply couldn't fathom how Beretta could mobilize the power of the River of Humanity.

Although it is only a small ripple, for an individual life, it is no less than the convergence of the will of hundreds of millions of living beings.

The lotus flower's form trembled for a moment, flickering uncertainly, before suddenly disappearing from the void and darkness.

Dr. Beretta himself was also affected, with many of his spirit fragments shattering, but his main body remained unharmed and quickly recovered, beginning to split again.

This time, Lotus's original consciousness was not present, so no one could stop him from breaking the Thousand Lotus Heart Lock, and no one could stop him from leaving that steel cage.

However, at the last moment of breaking free of his mental lock, his gaze turned to the restored river of humanity.

He seemed to see a "fish" disappearing into the long river with the waves.

"It's already come to this? That's impressive."

Beretta muttered to herself.

"However, even so, it's just a minor path."

the other side.

Yi Beidou and his group rested in Juncheng, causing the local government to be on high alert. The entire city within a radius of several kilometers was sealed off, and all the people were dispersed. The local government also issued a stern condemnation of Donghua, and most Western countries, including Xingkong Kingdom, did the same.

But even with the harshest condemnations, they dared not take any further action.

They once possessed the absolute power to destroy a country, but now, the martial prowess of the Donghua martial artists is enough to make them wary.

In particular, Yi Beidou had already demonstrated his character and way of doing things to the world, and before his death, no country or high-ranking official dared to make a fuss.

Otherwise, even if God were to descend, he might not be able to save their lives.

Times have changed. At this point, individual military force can now be used to negotiate on an equal footing with the state.

Inside a building, Yi Beidou was covered in blood, his injuries were extremely serious, and his aura was very unstable. The backlash from being in his perfect state was extremely strong, and even he had essentially walked on the edge of life and death.

Even with such a drastic change in his aura, no hidden entity dared to turn back and deal with him. After all, his feint last time had already made everyone wary.

Who knows if this is for real, or just another trap set by Yi Beidou?
No one dared to gamble on that possibility.

After two days and two nights, Zhou Qingchen and the others had finished resting, and Yi Beidou had finally recovered.

Immediately, everyone gathered in one place, forming a circle, with several items placed in the middle.

Two solid, ancient divination sticks suspended in mid-air, and a mass of flesh and blood that was still pulsating like jade.

At this point, the spirit divination stick is merely an incomplete entity, unable to exert its inherent spiritual treasure characteristics, and therefore has little research value.

What truly intrigued everyone was that jade-like mass of flesh and blood.
