Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 473 Three Dynasties Jointly Ordered the Execution of the Culprit; Arhat Passes Away Leaving Relics

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I, having received the favor of Heaven, govern the entire realm with utmost reverence day and night. Therefore, I hereby issue this imperial edict, bestowing upon you the title: The Holy and Compassionate Sovereign, Protector of the Netherworld by the Light of Heaven's Compassion, Wisdom as Bright as the Moon, Benevolent and Merciful, Dispelling Plague and Suppressing Evil, Granting Joy and Peace to the People."

The first to speak was Xiong Zhigang, whose imperial edict was written by Emperor Taichang himself and stamped with many official seals.

After the imperial edict was read, the aura of the Cat Goddess began to rise, and her attributes, profession, talents, skills, and even status all received a powerful boost.

The battle, which had initially put them at a disadvantage, became evenly matched.

After Xiong Zhigang finished speaking, Guo Ming also read out the imperial edict written by his elder brother. The seals affixed to the edict were so numerous that they made Chu Danqing's scalp tingle.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I, having inherited the great throne and ruled over the eight directions, rely solely on the divine way to establish teachings and assist the imperial plan. Therefore, with special favor, I hereby bestow upon you the title: Great Emperor of the Golden Mane, the Most Powerful and Mighty, Who Subdues Demons and Evil, Protects the Nation and Blesses the People, and Purifies the World."

With this imperial decree issued, the Cat Goddess swiftly grabbed and pinned down the illusory figure of Wenqu, turning the evenly matched battle into one where she gained the upper hand.

However, the real trump card was Yang Qianyuan, who didn't take the imperial edict and directly issued a decree.

After all, Xiong Zhigang was a powerful minister and Guo Ming was the head of the Imperial Clan Court; neither of them were the real emperor, so they could only act as his deputies.

Yang Qianyuan was a legitimate emperor and did not need middlemen.

"I, bearing the weighty trust of Heaven and Earth and assuming the supreme position, embody the Way of Heaven to practice benevolence and govern according to the laws of nature. Therefore, I hereby bestow upon you the highest title, and hereby confer upon you the title: Supreme Void Mysterious Firmament, Commander of Qi, Wind, Dew, and Grace, Spreading Across the Eight Desolations, Nurturing All Living Beings, Harmonizing Yin and Yang, Holding the reins of Qi, Propagating the Great Transformation of Qi, Mysterious Merit, and Universal Holy Virtue Heavenly Venerable."

When he was conferred the title, the emperor's aura transformed into a spider with a nine-foot-long yarrow stalk on its head, tortoise-shell-like legs, and stars on its body.

With three imperial decrees bestowed upon her, the Cat Goddess instantly shattered the illusory image of Wenqu.

Bai Zhenniang was also killed without a complete corpse.

A soul flew out, seemingly wanting to be reincarnated.

Without hesitation, Chu Danqing shouted, "Cat Cat, I want her soul to be scattered and never be reincarnated!"

The forked bell in the Cat Goddess's hand pierced through Bai Zhenniang's soul on the spot, shattering it to pieces.

[Quest Completed, You Gain: Return Qualification, Paradise Points x 30000, Attribute Point +6]

[Mission Completed, You Gain: Paradise Points x 30000, Attribute Points +6]

The trial and the side quest are completed simultaneously.

Then a primordial Qi appeared within his body, about to dissipate, but was suddenly absorbed by an object.

Not far away, Zen Master Wende was carrying Xu Jingnian in one hand and holding the gourd that had been given to him by Immortal Tongxuan in the other.

"Layman Chu, this old monk has not failed you." Zen Master Wende casually tossed the gourd to Chu Danqing: "The primordial Qi gathered during the height of the calamity is of the highest quality."

"Without the help of a calamity, if you collect it too early, it will disperse into the world; if you collect it too late, it will turn into evil energy."

"The Immortal Elder's calculations were accurate. He deceived the heavens and the sea during the calamity, taking advantage of the right time, place, and people. Thanks to the reward of this precious pearl from this old monk, he was able to fulfill his mission and obtain this primordial Qi."

"Otherwise, even if you kill the white snake, you still won't be able to obtain this Primordial Qi."

Even if Chu Danqing killed Bai Zhenniang before the calamity arrived, he still wouldn't be able to obtain it.

The primordial Qi originally belonged to the stars of the mortal world; upon death, it would simply return to the heavens and earth.

Even with his extraordinary abilities, the Immortal Master Tongxuan couldn't help Chu Danqing obtain this Primordial Qi.

Only when the chaos of war reaches its peak and the order of fate is disrupted will there be an opportunity to help Chu Danqing obtain it through the hands of Zen Master Wende.

Otherwise, why would he specifically tell Chu Danqing to wait until the calamity was overwhelming instead of directly killing Bai Zhenniang?

From beginning to end, the Immortal Master Tongxuan never intended for Chu Danqing to obtain the Primordial Qi on his own; he simply couldn't obtain it himself.

Moreover, before Bai Zhenniang conceived Wenquxing, she didn't have any innate Qi, so killing her would only yield one brilliant-level treasure chest at most.

The master of the primordial Qi is the worldly star Wenquxing, not Bai Zhenniang; this is predetermined.

Guo Ming stood in front of Chu Danqing and grabbed the gourd.

He seems to be one of their own, but he doesn't know the actual situation.

Being cautious won't hurt.

After Guo Ming glanced at it and confirmed that there were no problems, he handed it to Chu Danqing.

"Master, hand over Xu Jingnian to me," Chu Danqing asked.

At this moment, Xu Jingnian was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Chu Danqing even suspected that if he didn't even make a move, the other party might be scared to death again.

"Master Chu's actions have angered the world. So be it. Even the emperor didn't consider the people of Jinjiang Prefecture. This is a matter of repaying kindness with kindness." Zen Master Wende said, pushing Xu Jingnian forward.

Following Chu Danqing's instructions, the Goddess of Cats immediately killed him with a single fork, scattering his soul to pieces.

At the same time, a magnificent treasure chest appeared.

The pattern depicts a dragon girl and a boy holding a book with a small snake wrapped around it.

It is a treasure chest of destiny, and not just any ordinary treasure chest of destiny, but a treasure chest that Bai Zhenniang, Xu Jingnian, Bi Qing'er, and Wenquxing entered the world with.

The whole family of four is inside.

"Dragon Girl, Boy, do you know who they are, Master?" Chu Danqing asked.

Zen Master Wende slowly sat down cross-legged, looking as if he were at the end of his life.

He sat down, panting slightly, and then said, "Let me slowly explain to Layman Chu."

"Back then, this old monk had to undergo corpse liberation and reincarnation after this wicked beast stole the Primordial Pearl from me."

"Later, he was fortunate to receive guidance from the Great Master Ganlu, and after 188 years, he was able to join the ranks of the immortals."

"The world honors me as the Precious Pearl Arhat. This Dharma name, Wende, is what I used when I was practicing." At this point, Zen Master Wende took out the Primordial Pearl.

"If it ends here, it will be the greatest blessing of my life."

"But later, the Great Master found me and said frankly that a dispute had not been resolved."

"I am aware of the matter of the pill being stolen back then, but I am now among the immortals, and such a trivial matter is long gone. Why bother dwelling on it?"

"Bai Zhenniang is a pageboy under the Great Master, and it is not impossible for her to be enshrined among the immortals in the future."

"Unfortunately, this grudge can be put aside, but the kindness of enlightenment must be repaid."

"That's why I personally descended to the mortal realm to make things difficult for Xu Bai and his wife." "Firstly, to repay the kindness of their enlightenment back then, and secondly, to avenge the theft of their elixir back then," said Zen Master Wende.

The story is simple, and Chu Danqing understood the origins of these two people.

It seems that the dragon girl and the boy are disciples of the Great Master Ganlu.

No wonder that at the beginning, the Great Master Ganlu visited the Holy Mother Jinci and pleaded for Bai Zhenniang.

Chu Danqing initially suspected the Golden Virtuous Mother, but unexpectedly it turned out to be the Sweet Dew Bodhisattva.

"The Bodhisattva used ten years of his lifespan to request three imperial edicts from the emperor that would allow him to share the fate of the nation."

"Master Chu, you truly are a variable, possessing the courage to break the deadlock. If it were me, I would be far inferior," Zen Master Wende said with self-deprecation.

Even on his deathbed, he dared to speak.

"Master, why don't you join me?" Chu Danqing thought to himself that this Zen Master Wende was an Arhat.

In other words, if one actively enters the world and finds oneself in a life-threatening situation, one cannot unleash even one percent of one's cultivation; otherwise, one would be absolutely powerful.

However, Zen Master Wende shook his head: "This old monk is dispersing his spiritual practice to purify the polluted seawater within Jinjiang Prefecture."

"When my spiritual practice is exhausted, that will be the time of my passing."

“It is a pity that I have no next life, otherwise I would be overjoyed to receive your invitation.” Zen Master Wende also declined.

He was going to die, and he had no intention of continuing to reincarnate.

The Jinjiang Prefecture was littered with corpses, and in the end, he also bore responsibility. How could he have the face to live on in this world?

"After this old monk passes away, there will be a relic, which I will leave to Layman Chu for his practice, as a token of my gratitude." As Zen Master Wende said this, his body began to disintegrate.

Moreover, the speed of disintegration was extremely rapid. Before Chu Danqing could even speak, the other party had already completely turned into ashes.

Centered on the shores of Hidden Pearl Lake, an invisible force swept across the entire Jinjiang Prefecture and sank down.

This force is slowly nourishing the land and lakes, helping them recover from the effects of the initial seawater inundation.

After Zen Master Wende died, a golden light emanated from the Hunyuan Pearl.

As the radiance receded, the inner elixir became a relic.

The Goddess of Cats reached out and took it, checked its attributes, and then handed it to Chu Danqing.

【Ratnakuta Arhat Relics】

【Six Roots Purified (Passive): When worn, permanently and slowly increases one's aptitude and comprehension】

【? ? ? 】

[Equipment Requirements: Apostle ID 9999090919 - Chu Danqing]

Chu Danqing looked at the relic and fell silent.

An item of unknown quality has been given an active and a passive ability.

What's even more outrageous is that the equipment requirement was specifically assigned to Chu Danqing, making it essentially a bound piece of equipment that no one else could use.

As for the equipment attributes, they will probably only be unlocked after you reach a certain rank.

Although this equipment has no combat capabilities, its value is absolutely the highest.

If possible, Chu Danqing should find a way to strengthen it.

As soon as he put it on, Chu Danqing felt a gentle power flowing into his body, beginning to enhance his aptitude and comprehension.

At this moment, he understood that the phrase "slowly improve" was used to describe the quality of the Arhat's relics.

Chu Danqing is only at level 2, so his so-called slowness is not slow at all.

"Let's go, let's go to the palace and kill the emperor." Chu Danqing glanced at the dark clouds in the sky, which were about to dissipate because of the death of the culprit.

But Chu Danqing wouldn't let them disperse, because the damned one wasn't dead yet.

If we just leave like this, wouldn't that be giving up halfway?
-
A look of despair appeared on the face of the Great Master Ganlu, and the two children's souls were scattered and they ceased to exist.

“Great Master, what do you wish to do? If you wish to return, this old man may escort you on your journey.” The old man’s mind was not on the dead Sudhana and Sudhana.

Instead, it landed on the cat-headed, human-bodied immortal, in addition to the vast world that Chu Danqing had previously told him about.

Therefore, he wondered if this was a deity invited from beyond the heavens.

Furthermore, the grand imperial edict not only made the Immortal Master Tongxuan tremble with fear, but also made other immortals and gods who were watching the matter feel the same way.

“This humble monk wishes to debate with that person,” said the Great Master Ganlu in a cold voice. “If this humble monk is wrong, I will disintegrate and enter Nirvana, and will not be reborn.”

"If I win the debate, I will return to heaven and never concern myself with worldly affairs again."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Master Tongxuan sighed, "Great Master, why bother?"

He understood what the Great Master Ganlu meant; he simply wanted to hear the other's explanation and had no intention of returning alive.

“First came the Arhat of Precious Pearl, then came the Great Master of Sweet Dew,” said the Immortal Master Tongxuan. “It was all because of the White Snake, how can we blame others?”

“Even though he is a disciple of the Great Master, if he is wrong, he is wrong. What’s the point of arguing?”

When the Great Master Ganlu heard this, he simply shook his head and said, "In the end, this matter arose because of this humble monk."

“The Arhat with the precious pearl filled the void left by the flood that destroyed Jinjiang Prefecture.”

“The loss of the nation’s fortune should be made up by this humble monk,” said the Great Master Ganlu. “Why should all the people of the world be held responsible for our mistakes?”

"As the Immortal Elder had said before, I am beset by calamities and should enter the mortal world to face them, in accordance with the will of Heaven."

The Great Master Ganlu has already escaped the calamity, but it is too late.
