Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 418 Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave

Inside the house.

Jiang Jian raised his head, gazing at the flashing blue light above, his eyes thoughtful.

Based on their judgment.

The credibility of the figure is not low.

However, Jiang Jianxin still had reservations about the extent of his trust in him.

A few seconds later.

Jiang Jian finally spoke.

What kind of deal do you want to make?

The blue light above trembled slightly.

Li's hoarse voice became clearer: "Actually, my divine technology skills have long reached the level of a great engineer, but I have never reported it."

"The reason this last memory is shrouded in mist is because it was a method I left behind."

"When the time is right, I will help you break the seal and let you know the truth of what happened back then."

"Furthermore, I will entrust all the technological heritage I left in Jiuchang City to you."

Li's words were extremely tempting.

The complete legacy of a great engineer!

Something of this magnitude would cause a massive upheaval even on the planetary level!
Hear this.

Jiang Jian remained expressionless and asked, "What do I need to give in return?"

Amidst the flashing blue light, Li let out an unpleasant laugh and said, "My teacher once told me that a single spark can start a prairie fire."

"Mercury today is full of hidden sparks, but they can never be connected into one."

"I want you to be the one who holds the fire, to carry out the teacher's Myriad Star Tower Plan to its final step."

"It turned the world upside down and changed the land and the heavens."

at the same time.

An incredibly complex message entered the depths of Jiang Jian's mind.

Jiang Jian glanced at it only once before immediately focusing his gaze, his expression turning serious.

This is the final hidden step of the "Ten Thousand Star Tower" plan submitted to Saturn by the chief person in charge of the Lingtai Realm on Mercury hundreds of years ago!

This step is kept very secret.

The numerous technical teams sent by Saturn never discovered the slightest clue.

Such a significant secret.

However, "Li" was placed directly in front of Jiang.

There is no cover.

This is the sincerity shown by "厘"!
Furthermore, the person in charge betrayed Mercury, bearing centuries of infamy, in order to build the Myriad Star Tower—that was the true purpose!
Jiang Jian flipped through the document, his mind racing with thoughts.

"What Li asked me to do is similar to the Mercury Operation Plan."

"Many steps can be completed easily."

"If that's all there is to it, this deal isn't a loss."

Thinking about it.

Jiang Jian said in a deep voice, "Are there any other costs?"

Regarding Jiang Jian's reaction.

The result was not too surprising.

He had long anticipated that Earth would also have to deal with Saturn.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have risked sending those lurking people to retrieve their memory modules.

Earth and Mercury actually share a common enemy.

That's all, nothing else.

The next moment, Li replied, "As long as you follow the steps and use the Jiuchang Star Tower as a catalyst to activate the nine Myriad Star Towers, my legacy as the Great Engineer will be yours."

Jiang Jian remained silent for a moment, then asked again, "If I hadn't used my supernatural powers and the memory module hadn't been restored, but instead been consumed by the formation, what would you have done then?"

Li smiled and said, "Your supernatural abilities are indeed quite impressive."

"If you don't use your supernatural powers, I will activate the core of the star array to resist the array's consumption, transform into a ghostly light, and communicate with you directly, which is not much different from now."

Li gave his answer to Jiang Jian's doubts.

soon.

Seeing that the deal was feasible, Jiang readily agreed, "Deal."

Li laughed and said, "Indeed, straightforward."

The blue light flickered even more intensely.

The sound of the li grew farther and farther away, gradually fading away.

"I will show you this last memory when you need it."

"Concealing it with mist now is also a bit of my selfish motive."

……

A few seconds later.

The blue light above the house dissipated completely.

The memory module stuck in the formation vanished silently, as if it had never existed.

at the same time.

The foothills of Wangyue Mountain.

Wang Anran and the other inspectors breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the anomaly at house number 1 had been resolved.

They even felt admiration and gratitude towards Jiang Jian.

House No. 1.

The memory module has disappeared.

But Jiang Jian noticed that a faint light had quietly fallen and hovered between his fingers.

It is not aggressive and is similar in nature to a memory module. It is shrouded in the aura of a star array, making it difficult to detect.

This faint light is the culmination of "Li"'s star array technology.

If it didn't follow me on its own initiative.

Even when Jiang Jian activated the karmic fire and used the "Disillusionment" trait, he could not detect its existence.

"Master, the blue light has returned to normal!"

Beside him, Qingfeng looked up at the formation and exclaimed in surprise.

They were unaware of Jiang Jian and Li's conversation.

In the eyes of the gentle breeze and the bright moon.

Jiang Jian simply sat there, silent for a few minutes.

The blue light above then vanished completely, never to be seen again.

"I saw."

Jiang Jian nodded gently, "You two don't have much time left here. You should cultivate diligently and cherish this opportunity."

Hear this.

Both Qingfeng and Mingyue knelt down and respectfully said, "Yes."

There are only ten days left until the end of preparations.

Previously.

Jiang Jian has already cultivated the "Mirror of Still Water" supernatural power to a completely new level.

According to the cultivation plan.

Next.

He intends to cultivate the supernatural power of "avoiding death and prolonging life".

A crescent moon and three stars signify avoiding death and prolonging life.

This secret divine power was passed down by the Jade Capital Lord and originated from the illusionary landscape of Fangcun Mountain.

Its original charm is of extremely high quality.

It is quite similar to "a clear mirror and still water".

but.

Jiang Jian has never deeply cultivated this supernatural power.

Previously.

This is something that has passed through the memory module.

Jiang Jian realized that this "avoiding death and prolonging life" supernatural power was extremely useful!

Often, this supernatural power can have an incredible effect when one doesn't expect it.

Calm down your mind.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Jian sat down on the floor in the room, enveloping himself in a semi-transparent pale golden light.

He never stopped cultivating spiritual essence in the third realm.

Simultaneously.

He devoted a small portion of his mind to cultivating the essence of the "avoiding death and prolonging life" supernatural power.

Under the blessing of the extreme place of spiritual practice.

My spiritual practice with Shen Yun went very smoothly.

just.

Deep within Jiang Jian's mind, there had never been a vision as real as "a clear mirror and still water."

"Lingtai Fangcun Mountain."

"It is the sacred site of the Great Master Mingxin, who underwent tribulations in mythology."

As Jiang Jian sketched the essence of the subject, he recalled mythological stories from Earth.

Master Lingming, also known as Bodhi Patriarch, was a highly accomplished being whose spiritual attainments were comparable to those of creation.

This "avoiding death and prolonging life" supernatural power comes from the wonders of Fangcun Mountain and is one of the methods of this powerful being in the story.

"When practicing the 'clear mirror and still water' method, one can clearly see the illusory scenery of Yinshan Mountain."

"The essence of this supernatural power is improving rapidly, but I still can't see the illusions."

"Could it be that my cultivation of this supernatural power was not directly taught by the Illusionary Realm, but rather by the Jade Capital Lord?"

Thoughts are surging.

Jiang Jian's previously calm expression suddenly froze!
This moment.

He suddenly realized that the essence he had been sketching had come to an abrupt end.

All the spiritual lines became extremely blurry, making it impossible to continue cultivating and comprehending!
It was at this time.

When Jiang Jian tried to cultivate again.

A realization dawned on me.

This supernatural power is a secret transmission from the Illusionary Landscape of Fangcun Mountain.

What I cultivate originates from the Jade Capital Lord.

Although I made extremely rapid progress in the early stages of my cultivation.

However, in the third realm, his cultivation of this supernatural power could only reach this level, and he could not make any further progress!

This is the drawback of Shen Yun's second-generation transmission.

The upper limit of supernatural power cultivation, which is closely related to realm, has been greatly weakened.

Only upon reaching the Lingtai Realm can one continue cultivating.

"But this is the ultimate training ground!"

Jiang frowned slightly, then a sudden inspiration struck him. He gathered a golden point of light and released it toward the lines of divine charm!

really!

Under the impact of the massive spiritual energy, the originally blurry lines of divine essence suddenly became clear!

Before Jiang Jian could even show any joy.

These expressive lines, in the blink of an eye, became blurred again! Meanwhile...

It possessed an aura of boundless illusion, and crashed down with a thunderous roar!

"If you want to cultivate the Fangcun Mountain supernatural powers, you must enter the Fangcun Mountain illusion!"

Jiang Jian sensed the aura of the illusion and immediately understood!
The divine lines, infused with the golden light of the extreme spiritual realm, evoke the illusions contained within!

Supernatural powers are unique.

Once a living being cultivates supernatural powers, it establishes a connection with the creator of these powers through the spiritual lines.

at this time.

Jiang Jianzheng gained the opportunity to enter the Fangcun Mountain Illusionary Realm by relying on the charm of the lines and the special nature of the cultivation extreme!
Fangcun Mountain Wonderland has its owner.

but.

The original mirage of Fangcun Mountain is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.

It can be triggered as long as the conditions are met.

Once a wondrous realm appears, primordial illusions will follow.

Back when we were in the Second Realm, this was how the Sea Dragon Palace looked.

The Yinshan Wonderland in Jiangjian is the same.

The Fangcun Mountain Wonderland is the same today.

Gazing at the illusory aura crashing down.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Jian made a decision in no time.

It has a significant effect in preventing death and prolonging life.

If one can only cultivate to this level, it is far from enough for one's own use.

"The Illusory Scenery of Fangcun Mountain".

Whispering softly.

As Jiang Jian's mind trembled, his divine soul power surged forth and completely merged into the illusory aura in front of him!

boom!
Light and shadow tear apart, stars shift and constellations turn!
The blinding white light obscured everything.

Jiang Jian's soul and consciousness also sank into it.

……

……

……

Xiniuhezhou, Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Sunlight reflects on the misty mountains, locking in the emerald screen; rain stops, and the dark green hues are tinged with dew.

As noon approached, the downpour gradually subsided.

A faint seven-colored glow appeared, leaping joyfully among the mountains and rivers.

A magnificent rainbow has been splashed across the canvas after the rain.

"Jueyan, stop daydreaming and come with me to fetch water!"

"If we are late, we, your fellow disciples, will inevitably be scolded and punished!"

Jueqing looked annoyed and tugged hard at Jueyan's sleeve. Seeing that he was still in a daze, she couldn't help but raise her voice.

“Around Shenshi (3-5 PM), a senior master of the Yuan generation will be giving a sermon at Luohongtai. You may not like listening, but don’t let it interfere with my business!”

"Come with me quickly!"

The words fell.

Jueqing stretched out one hand, lifted two wooden buckets, and with the other hand, pulled Jueyan down the mountain stream.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain is located in Xiniuhezhou.

In the eyes of the world, it is a place beyond the five elements, not subject to the control of the Heavenly Court, nor under the jurisdiction of the Netherworld.

The owner of this place is a very famous person.

He is called "Great Master of the Great Awakening, Wondrous Appearance, True Tranquility, and Enlightened Mind Through Kalpas".

This Venerable Master, who has experienced countless tribulations and attained enlightenment, is said to be immortal and live as long as the heavens, possessing incredible supernatural powers.

It skillfully expounds the teachings of the Three Vehicles, encompassing all the subtle and profound dharmas.

This is the person they are referring to.

Whether it's the Jade Pool Sacred Realm or the Kunlun Heavenly Realm.

It is still the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas and the Heavenly Court of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

And the thirty-six blessed lands and the six realms of reincarnation.

Whenever there is a grand celestial banquet or an emperor's birthday celebration, the master of Fangcun Mountain always sends an invitation imbued with celestial essence.

Jueyan, whose robe sleeve was being pulled by Jueqing, had already regained his senses.

After a brief silence, his expression calmed down considerably.

"This Lingtai Fangcun Mountain is indeed a rare blessed land of immortals in myths and legends."

Jueyan raised his head, looked around at the magnificent scenery, and felt a sense of awe.

In mythology, whether it is a human, a demon, a ghost, or a spirit.

As long as one can see Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, one is considered to have the affinity to seek immortality and enlightenment.

There are forty-nine disciples of the "Jue" generation, which secretly aligns with the profound principles of the Great Dao.

They wouldn't accept even one more.

Although these juniors never even get to see the legendary, all-powerful, and enlightened master who has undergone countless tribulations.

However, on ordinary days, he can also cultivate many profound incantations of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

When they achieved success and left the mountain, they were all looked up to by others.

"Jueyan, don't blame your senior brother for being angry with you, you're just too lazy, yesterday..."

Before Jueqing could finish speaking, he saw Jueyan take the wooden bucket from his hand, squat down, and fill it with spring water from the mountain stream.

The rest of his sentence stuck in his throat, and he couldn't finish it.

As Jueyan drew water from the spring, he looked up and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Jueqing, isn't there a senior uncle of the Yuan generation giving a sermon at Shenshi (3-5 PM)?"

He straightened up, his smile unchanged, making it impossible to tell if it was genuine or not. "Let's hurry up and not be late."

Beside him, Jueqing carefully examined Jueyan and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"What's wrong with you today? Why have you suddenly changed your attitude?"

Almost all beings who can enter the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain to cultivate have profound backgrounds.

Jueqing was intelligent and not stupid; he noticed Jueyan's unusual behavior at a glance.

Although the earth vein power of Fangcun Mountain has reached an unimaginable level of terror.

They even bound the spiritual cultivation of their disciples to that of ordinary mortals.

However, these methods of confinement do not affect the mind and thoughts of living beings.

Jueyan filled the two heavy wooden buckets, stood up straight, his smile faded, and calmly asked, "What makes you say that, Senior Brother Jueqing?"

Jueqing stared at him for a while, then didn't bring it up again. Instead, she reached out and pointed to Jueyan's sleeve: "Don't you want your clothes anymore?"

original.

Just now, when Jueyan was fiddling with the wooden bucket, she accidentally spilled some water, wetting a corner of her clothes.

This water is no ordinary water.

It is the Heavenly River True Water, which is significantly heavier than the Xuanming True Water.

Its source is the Heavenly River in the Heavenly Court.

Every drop of the Milky Way's true water weighs more than ten thousand jin (a unit of weight).

This wooden bucket is no ordinary wooden bucket either.

It is made from the sacred wood of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, processed by hand.

Jueyan and Jueqing fetch water from a tributary of the Milky Way in the mountain stream, a daily ritual they perform.

The two of them repeated this tedious task day after day.

The reason.

It is precisely for the purpose of refining one's spirit and tempering one's character.

"It was an accident, please don't blame me, senior brother."

Jueyan placed the wooden bucket steadily, his expression remaining calm.

Deep within his mind, however, a myriad of thoughts were swirling.

He used all his strength to activate the extremely stagnant immortal power within his body.

Finally, the water stains on the sleeves of the robe were completely wiped away.

Jiang Jian had never encountered this kind of power before.

At this moment, the immortal power used to cultivate "Awakening Words" felt extremely unfamiliar and its efficiency was incredibly low.

See this scene.

Jueqing's eyes showed even greater doubt, but he still didn't say anything more. Instead, he picked up a wooden bucket and said, "Quickly carry the water back. If you delay my journey to Luohongtai to listen to the Dao, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"

Jueyan responded, then channeled his immortal power again, picked up a bucket of Heavenly River True Water, and followed behind Jueqing, walking up the stone steps towards the mountain.

The geological features of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain are quite mysterious.

The other blessed lands are all vast and boundless, with palaces and pavilions tens of thousands of feet high, and jade palaces in the sky.

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, however, is completely different.

The palaces and temples here are not much different from those in the human world.

Any living being that comes here will be bound by the power of the earth's veins.

This is why people from outside flock to it.

If one can cultivate and attain enlightenment here.

After leaving Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, their cultivation foundation and spiritual root will far surpass those of other beings of the same level.

more than this.

If one is fortunate enough to be among them, one may acquire secret supernatural powers.

They can even take on a hundred or a thousand opponents single-handedly.

"Wait there, young Taoist. Which sect do you two belong to?"

Suddenly, a deep voice entered my ears.

Jueqing clearly recognized the man. His face showed a bitter expression, and he ignored what the man said. He carried the water bucket in his hand and quickened his pace.

Jiang Jian, who was "Jueyan", stopped and looked at the tall creature on the mountain path.

That's not human.

Instead, it was a monster with a bird's beak and a human body.

Judging from the cloud-patterned robe he was wearing.

This bird-beaked, human-bodied monster was a senior martial uncle of the "Yuan" generation.

next moment.

The monster chuckled, extended its sharp claws, and gently grabbed.

Jueqing involuntarily took several steps back, only to be pulled close by it from afar.

Jueyan blinked, stepped forward and bowed, his eyes dark, and said, "Reporting to our senior uncle, we belong to the 'Liu' sect and are Jue-generation disciples who have not been in the mountain for long."

The bird-beaked monster smiled faintly and said, "Uncle-Master, there is an important matter here. Would you two be willing to help?"

Jueqing put down the bucket and forced a smile, saying, "Uncle-Master, you flatter me. Our cultivation is too low; how could we possibly help you?"

It's not that he's timid or afraid of trouble.

However, this bird-beaked monster was far too troublesome, relying on its seniority of the "Yuan" generation to bully the younger generation of the "Jue" generation from time to time.

I can't fight anymore, I can't run anymore.

Among the forty-nine disciples of the Jue generation, this senior uncle was already notorious. Anyone who saw him would keep their distance, fearing that he would target them.

The bird-beaked monster ignored Jueqing's excuses and laughed, "This 'Flow' school is best at integrating the various schools of thought, which happens to be what I'm going to do. You two probably can't escape it."

The words fell.

With a flick of his sleeve, he took Jueqing and Jueyan into his pocket and headed straight for his temple.
