Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 425 The most disdainful thing is unrequited love.

just.

What Jiang Jian truly cares about.

Behind this illusion lies a vast, boundless "illusionary realm."

In the real world I live in, there exist great gods.

The fantasy world, though mostly presented in fragmented forms.

To some extent.

It corresponds to the real world.

Suddenly.

A flash of light flashed.

Deep within Jiang's mind, a deafening thunderclap resounded!

He suddenly thought.

Since mythical creatures like the Sun-Wandering Envoy in the Yinshan Wonderland can materialize from the illusory and appear before one's eyes in reality.

Then.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the illusory world.

It is also possible for it to become real!
Thus.

More problems have emerged.

If we were to place the Bodhisattva Venerable One in reality...

What level of cultivation has he reached?

What type of ability does one possess in cultivating oneself?

All of these things are unknowable.

Thinking about it.

Jiang Jian lowered his gaze and looked at the "Netherworld Tribulation Scripture".

anyway.

This supreme treasure from the netherworld was indeed placed before him.

The illusion I just witnessed.

It's simply about allowing this scripture to merge with one's own soul, temporarily binding it together.

As for the study and understanding of the scriptures.

Even now, Jiang Jian still doesn't have many clues.

I don’t know when it started.

The ancient book shattered into black light, transforming into a torrent of light rain that seeped into the depths of Jiang Jian's soul, returning to silence.

Jiang Jian steadied himself, looked up, and was about to get up when he saw an unbelievable scene that left him frozen in place!
Only now did he realize this with horror.

This is not the moon at all!
Instead, it was the Yinshan Mountains, which were extremely familiar to me!
Behind Yinshan Mountain, beneath the lotus throne.

The young man had a cold expression, wore a black Buddhist robe, and held a Zen staff in his hand, appearing aloof and independent.

"Buddha."

Jiang saw his pupils contract, stood up, and suddenly realized something.

He merged with the "Netherworld Tribulation Scripture".

It's very possible that the aura of the Illusionary Realm was truly activated!

The identity of the creature before us is obvious!

Venerable Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
"Greetings, Venerable One."

Jiang saw that his clothes had instantly transformed into the black robes of a royal palace. With a solemn expression, he stepped forward and bowed to the Bodhisattva.

The last time I met the Bodhisattva was at the Ksitigarbha Hall in Yinshan.

The Bodhisattva personally intervened, slicing off Di Ting's head with a flick of his finger.

At that time.

Jiang Jian once asked if they would ever meet again.

However, the Bodhisattva did not answer.

nowadays.

Because of the "Netherworld Tribulation Scripture".

The Bodhisattva Venerable One from the illusion reappeared before my eyes.

"Rotating wheel".

The Bodhisattva's gaze was lowered, showing neither sorrow nor joy.

"This scroll of the Netherworld Scripture was created by me through my own enlightenment after witnessing the suffering of all living beings, and I have never passed it on to anyone."

"If you want to practice this sutra, you must have a heart of compassion for all sentient beings."

"Otherwise, one day, we will suffer the backlash of the scriptures."

"Millions of years of cultivation, vanished in a single day, turned to ashes."

Hearing the Bodhisattva's words.

Jiang Jian stood there, silent.

Compassion for all living beings.

He is not qualified yet.

At this time.

The Bodhisattva spoke again, but his tone was now somewhat cold and desolate.

“After this scripture was passed on to you, there was not the slightest resistance; it seemed as if it were naturally created.”

"Perhaps, this is your destiny."

The words fell.

The Venerable One's form gradually became transparent.

The entire Yinshan Mountain will collapse along with it.

This moment.

Jiang Jian suddenly raised his head, looked at the Bodhisattva, and asked with a bow, "Venerable Bodhisattva, is the Illusionary Realm real or fake?"

The world fell silent after those words were spoken.

Its hidden meaning is very clear.

Using the illusion of reality to question the true nature of the Bodhisattva.

This is extremely disrespectful!
only.

The Bodhisattva did not get angry, but instead froze in place.

A pair of cold, indifferent eyes gazed silently at Jiang Jian.

After a long time.

The Yinshan landscape quietly collapsed, turning into countless points of light.

Only the Venerable One's voice could be heard clearly.

"If one day you can transcend to the realm of enlightenment, that is, the Spiritual Platform of the True Realm, you will naturally know about the affairs of the Illusionary Realm."

"Furthermore, I am not the Bodhisattva, but merely a wisp of his consciousness."

"The true Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's path can reach the heavens, and his name resounds throughout the world."

"Even when facing the gods, I would rather be shattered to pieces than bow my head and take a step back."

Its sound gradually faded away.

Only Jiang Jian remained, standing alone in the same spot, his expression still solemn.

This time, I am studying and comprehending the "Scripture of the Netherworld Tribulation".

I have received far too much information!

First, there is the incredibly mysterious Illusionary Realm!

According to what His Excellency just said.

The illusory world also has different levels of cultivation.

The "transcendence" he mentioned.

It is equivalent to "seeing the spirit" in the real world.

Secondly, it concerns the Venerable Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

According to what he said.

The true Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has already descended into reality!
Hear these messages.

Jiang Jianxin had a guess in mind.

Not all beings in the illusory realm can materialize and appear in the real world.

It's like my own Yinshan Wonderland.

Wonderland is the medium connecting the real world and the illusionary world.

He had used the Origin of Wonderland, which cost him a great deal, to bring three Wonderland creatures into the real world.

Looking towards home, Nüying.

The Tenth King's Palace: Black Impermanence Fan Nian and White Impermanence Xie Zhao.

All three of them have reached the Divine Palace Realm in their cultivation.

Even bringing them to reality is so difficult.

Not to mention the other beings in the illusionary realm, for them to approach reality would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Besides.

Jiang Jian sensed more important information in his words.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, if judged by the standards of cultivation in the real world, should surpass physicians, yet still finds it difficult to approach the level of a deity.

The physician is a terrifying being who peers into the heavens.

Jiang Jian had met her before and knew about her expertise in the spiritual realm, so he had a general idea of ​​the upper limit of a physician's methods in spiritual research.

Estimate from all aspects.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is at least no worse than her.

How far is the Realm of Gazing at the Heavens from approaching the divine?

Jiang Jian was unaware of this.

just.

Judging from his words.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is qualified to face the gods!
Thoughts are surging.

Jiang calmed himself down and sorted through the information again, making sure to remember the parts that were useful to him.

Compared to these secrets.

What Jiang Jian cares about most is always his own self-cultivation.

He knows it very well.

Whether it's a fantasy world or a wondrous realm, it's all part of the world.

As for myself.

These are aids to spiritual practice and means of self-reliance.

But it can't be your focus.

perhaps.

From then on, he would never come into contact with the Illusionary Realm again.

All of this has nothing to do with me.

The path of cultivation is full of strange and wonderful things, with countless secrets.

Occasionally, the scenery along the way is indeed beautiful and captivating.

but.

If so, you might stop and stay.

This is putting the cart before the horse and is not a wise move.

The story of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva may be fascinating.

But as far as Jiang Jian is concerned.

If you have the chance to see it, that would be wonderful.

If we can never meet again, it's not a big deal.

Jiang Jian was concerned about this at the moment.

This is what the Venerable One just mentioned, the requirement for cultivating and comprehending the "Netherworld Tribulation Scripture".

This is not a story without any basis in reality.

Rather, it is something closely related to one's own spiritual practice.

This scripture, as a supreme treasure from the netherworld, has many wondrous uses after descending into the mortal realm.

Its rank is extremely high.

The scripture requires enlightenment for all living beings, and to have "compassion for all beings," which made Jiang Jian ponder for a long time.

He can sense it.

After the Netherworld Tribulation Scripture temporarily bound itself to itself, it blended in perfectly, without any unusual resistance.

Jiang Jian naturally wouldn't be so naive as to think that he was the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and that this treasure should rightfully belong to him.

The only explanation.

It is he himself who truly has the thought of "compassion for all living beings".

Jiang Jian always thought so.

In the real world.

Only gods have the right to have mercy on humankind.

Pity, not in the literal sense.

Compassion, not in the sense of meaning.

The gods are high above, they do not accept worship or incense offerings.

But this vast solar system, and everything it is now.

They are all born of gods and exist because of gods.

The eight planets of our solar system, home to trillions of living beings, thrive and flourish in a vast realm whose diameter is measured in light-years.

This is the greatest mercy that the gods bestow upon humankind.

Humans, whose lifespan is originally only a hundred years, have the opportunity to extend it to thousands of years through diligent cultivation.

Monsters have appeared in the solar system, thriving as a completely new race.

Ghosts, either because living beings die or because of the gathering of yin energy, become true living beings and have the opportunity to break through their limits.

The presence of demonic spirits further confirms the grand vision that all things in the world can be transformed into spirits.

"All that has a spirit is a living being."

Jiang Jian murmured softly.

This has always been his true, deep-seated belief.

Whether human or demon, ghost or spirit.

They are all part of the living beings in the world.

The idea had barely surfaced in my mind when it came to me.

I felt something in connection with the "Scripture of the Netherworld Calamity".

The golden scriptures shone brightly, reflecting down upon the text.

Shenque, Yongquan, Shengong.

The three major acupoints were all protected by the black and gold light, creating an additional layer of solid barrier.

The speed of spiritual energy operation, its upper limit, and the rate of spiritual energy transmission.

All of these factors have increased by at least 10%!
An incredibly terrifying spiritual aura surged forth around Jiang Jian!

Jiang Jian stood up, sensing the vast spiritual energy within his body, and gently clenched his fist.

At this moment, Jiang Jian knew that he had finally taken the first step in cultivating the Netherworld Treasure.

This scripture is of the auxiliary type.

Another illusory treasure, the water-controlling treasure "Lihen," is of the offensive and control type.

The "Ksitigarbha Staff" of the Yinshan Illusionary Realm also belongs to the category of suppression and control.

This scroll of the Netherworld Tribulation Scripture perfectly fills the gap in the availability of auxiliary treasures.

Nourished by the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

One's own spiritual energy is like a vast ocean, endlessly flowing.

Whether using precious treasures or employing magical techniques, it can be maintained for a very long time.

"See you Jiang."

The voice of the Death Realm True Lord pierced through the barrier and came clearly.

Jiang Jian snapped out of her daze, stopped her thoughts, and looked up.

The barrier of death energy melted away inch by inch.

The young man in black robes stood not far away, his sleeves billowing as he protected himself.

"Thank you, True Lord."

Seeing that Jiang looked serious, he stepped forward and bowed again to express his gratitude.

The True Lord of the Death Realm chuckled and said, "Although I have never seen this Netherworld Treasure, the aura it exudes is something that no ordinary person can control."

"It's already quite impressive that you were able to bind your soul to it and begin your initial cultivation in such a short time."

While talking.

The True Lord flicked his sleeve.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed drastically.

The darkness gradually faded away.

In its place lies the familiar scenery of Wangyue Mountain.

"Mercury is dangerous; it is not a good place."

As the figure of the Death Realm True Lord was about to dissipate, his gaze fell upon Jiang Jian, and there was an unusually appreciative look in his eyes.

"When you go to the outer world to carry out the plan, you must also do your best to ensure your own safety so that you can return safely in the future."

His tone was very friendly.

Jiang Jian looked solemn and bowed, saying, "Yes, True Lord."

Since this time.

The True Lord of the Death Realm is quite famous in the seventy prefectures on the surface of the earth.

His public image has always been that of a kind person who is happy to mentor younger generations.

In fact, as its reputation spread further and further.

Many prodigies from the surface world willingly entered the mortal realm to serve under the True Lord of the Death Realm, listening to his teachings day and night.

Regardless of what this true lord of the land truly thinks.

At the very least, it has indeed made a contribution to the Earth.

The four realms of earth, moon and sky.

Most True Monarchs at the Spirit Platform Realm are high above and unattainable.

The True Lord of the Death Realm is an exception.

It issued a boundary announcement through the surface city of Tianjing.

From this day forward, all beings in the Divine Palace Realm who wish may go to the Earth Realm to listen to lectures.

Of the seventy prefectures on Earth, many prefecture lords and other high-ranking figures are quite interested in this opportunity.

According to rumors.

Listening to a lecture by the True Lord once can increase one's lifespan.

Those with high comprehension will find their long-standing mental barriers loosened upon hearing the True Lord's teachings.

At this moment.

Upon seeing the contact with the True Lord of the Death Realm, Jiang Jian, after careful consideration, found that the rumors were indeed true.

As a being of the Lingtai Realm, a high-level being, it was willing to condescend to personally protect its own Dharma.

Such kindness towards younger generations is something that no ordinary True Lord could ever do.

At the Divinely Gifted Joint Forum.

The reputation of the Death Realm True Lord was suddenly comparable to that of the Jade Capital Supreme Lord!

Until now.

Within the Lingtai Realm that Jiang Jian had encountered.

The goddess in plain clothes is the most aloof and noble, making her difficult to see clearly.

As the head of the Lingtai family, Lu Ye Zhenjun is very particular about rules and is quite traditional.

The Jade Emperor is free-spirited and unrestrained in his actions, yet his words are law and his likes and dislikes are clear.

The True Lord of the Death Realm is completely different from the former.

The rest of the Spirit Platform Realm beings, regardless of their temperament or disposition, as higher-level life forms, always treat other living beings with a condescending gaze.

Even the Jade Capital Lord and the Lu Ye True Lord are no exception.

Only the True Lord of the Death Realm never gave people this feeling.

Being with this sage is like being bathed in a spring breeze, making one's senses very comfortable.

Unknowingly.

The True Lord of the Death Realm has already left the Ice Crystal Palace.

The spiritual aura that permeated the heavens and earth also dissipated.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which had originally formed a giant tornado around the True Lord, slowly returned to its original form as it rotated.

"Star position adjustment complete."

"Prepare to board the ship."

Xu Qingxian's voice echoed throughout the foothills.

The dazzling, colorless spaceship silently landed and quietly came to a stop in the middle of the flat ground.

All the geniuses present whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

Beyond the Earth lies a realm that ordinary beings have never ventured into.

Most people, even if they go through their entire lives, never leave the four realms of Earth, Moon, and Earth.

For these exceptional talents...

Beyond the Earth represents the unknown and excitement, as well as danger and opportunity.

The planners here are all carefully selected geniuses who have recently broken through to the Divine Palace.

They are exceptionally talented and quick learners, and their overall bone age is not high.

Now, as he prepares to travel to outer space, driven by his youthful spirit, anticipation still dominates his mind.

at this time.

The girl in the green dress twirled and landed in front of Jiang Jian, her skirt fluttering in the wind.

She still held that thin, long sword between her slender, white fingers.

"Qingshuang!"

Lu Chen looked surprised when he saw the girl in the blue dress.

in his mind.

Qing Shuang is a rare prodigy in the Star Ring Realm.

Unparalleled in combat prowess and extraordinary talent.

Based on her previous performance.

It's even better than what I have here.

She stood there, her azure dress cascading down, exuding a refined and aloof aura.

"She's here to see you."

The next second, Lu Chen immediately realized what was happening, turned to look at Jiang Jian, and his eyes revealed a mischievous glint.

"I have some business with Shang Tianhai, I'll go check over there first."

Lu Chen blinked, grabbed the bewildered Shang Tianhai, and turned to walk away into the distance.

soon.

Only two people remain here.

"Your sister's cultivation has encountered some problems."

Nie Zheng walked closer, activated his identity device, and swiped it across Jiang Jian's hand.

Her movements were very natural, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.

beep.

A beep sounds.

A document was transmitted to the identity device.

Jiang frowned slightly, raised her wrist, and looked down.

soon.

Jiang Jian's expression turned slightly cold.

My younger sister, Jiang Zhao, is very obedient to me and spends most of her time cultivating in Yinshan.

just.

Every so often, she would take Yinyin back to the Star Palace projection in Linjiang Prefecture.

The information shows that...

The projection of the Linjiang Prefecture Star Palace emits violent fluctuations every so often.

It even caused the continuous mountain ranges at the border to tremble day and night.

The blazing silver light emanating from the video footage clearly indicates that this was caused by the younger sister's methods.

soon.

Jiang Jian looked at the documents, the coldness on his face dissipating, and his eyes showing contemplation.

My younger sister, Jiang Zhao, is intelligent and quick-witted, and the most obedient and well-behaved.

Her personality is somewhat similar to mine; she wouldn't do things without a goal.

Based on Jiang Jian's judgment.

The unusual phenomenon in the star palace projection should not be due to a problem with Jiang Zhao's cultivation.

Perhaps this is just a smokescreen.

It's very likely that the younger sister wants to achieve some goal through this method.

After making a rough judgment.

Jiang Jian calmed himself down, turned off his identity device, and stopped thinking about the matter.

Regardless of what Jiang Zhao and Yin Yin are thinking.

There's no need for me to interfere too much with it right now.

What he left for his younger sister was enough for her to live a peaceful life of cultivation.

She held power over Yinshan, and was assisted by night patrol envoys.

With my sister's intelligence and wisdom, she will surely be able to take good care of everything in Yinshan for me.

"See you Jiang."

Nie Zheng suddenly spoke up, "Don't get too close to the beings of the Illusionary Realm."

She raised her face, her eyes clear and bright, exquisitely beautiful.

Jiang Jianxin was startled and turned to look at the girl in the green dress, meeting her gaze.

A few moments.

Jiang looked away and replied softly, "I understand."

recently.

He often immerses himself in illusions, and also experiences a strange feeling.

Reality and illusion intertwine.

The real world and the illusory world seemed to have merged together.

This strange sensory experience is not a good thing.

The girl in the green dress had a cold and stern look in her eyes as she continued, "The only use of the Illusionary Realm for the real world is to provide treasures and spells."

"All the living beings within are born of illusion."

"Although among them, a very small number of exceptionally talented individuals are able to break free from the highest shackles and become real."

"But most of the creatures in the Illusionary Realm are harmful to us!"

Speaking of it.

Nie Zheng stopped there and didn't say anything more.

Holding his longsword, he sat down beside Jiang Jian.

aside.

Jiang Jian couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine!
He listened to Nie Zheng's words.

In the Wangxiangtai of Yinshan, there is also a guide who is closely related to the illusory creature "Diting".

Think of this.

Jiang Jian thought of the deal he made with the True Lord of the Death Realm.

Deep down, a sense of urgency arose within me.

The Terrace of Longing for Home is a ticking time bomb.

The creatures of the illusory realm, "Di Ting," are far beyond my ability to handle.

If we could pack up and send away the Terrace of Longing for Home, the Bridge of Helplessness, and the Eighteen Levels of Hell, it would be like eliminating a major threat.

Thinking about it.

Jiang Jian activated his identity device and sent a message to his sister.

He ordered the Night Patrol Envoy to reinforce the troops again, and dispatched more Royal Palace Judges and Black and White Impermanence to garrison the Viewing Platform.

If any abnormality occurs in Taichung, it must be reported immediately without any slackening.

"See you Jiang."

The girl in the green dress turned her head, pursing her bright red lips.

Her long, flowing black hair cascaded down, highlighting her fair and exquisite profile.

The mountain breeze blows.

Her black hair was disheveled and flew up, obscuring the girl's face.

"If there were no divine decree as a bargaining chip."

Will you still marry me?

The girl, with a strand of hair between her lips, asked softly.

Jiang Jian was taken aback and looked at the person in front of him.

The girl chuckled to herself, extending her slender, white fingers, her voice even softer.

"When I returned to the Fourth Sea, I missed you terribly."

She tilted her head back, closed her eyes slightly, and let her long, black hair dance and flutter in the mountain breeze.

A bustling noise came from afar, with a huge spaceship as a backdrop, its bright sunlight shining on the girl's flowing black hair.

This scene seemed to freeze in time.

The sword held in the girl's arms reflected a dazzling array of colors, which entered Jiang Jian's pupils, only to be swallowed up by the dark vortex within, leaving nothing behind.
