Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 325 Yanfuzi Reunited

The sapling nodded and said:

"You go ahead!"

“I won’t let you work for nothing. After this job is done, I will completely release the essence of [Yanfu Nursery] and hand it over to you.”

“Your foundation is solid, your Taoist skills are remarkable, and your path to the Great Dao is promising. You should serve as a role model for us in Jambudvipa.”

[Ghost Hair] nodded and said:

"Thank you, Master!"

Having said that, he went to summon the other [Yanfuzi].

Even though [Yanfu Daozu] said that, [Gui Mao] was still reflecting on his own.

Despite managing the Yanfu Nursery for so many years, he still hasn't been able to fully grasp the complete essence of this precious treasure.

There's even a hidden door left behind by the Dao Ancestor!
Even if it's one's own ancestor, this is completely unacceptable.

This is a huge wake-up call for [Ghost Hair].

However, seeing that a great opportunity was about to arrive, he couldn't care less about anything else.

The plan, originating from the patriarch of the Other Shore, is bound to be extremely dangerous.

But he was completely fearless!

Once you've reached this level of cultivation, any coward will be long gone, their graves overgrown with weeds.

Even if [Ghost Hair] keeps a low profile, his inner ferocity should not be underestimated.

He arrived at a special place and, in his capacity as the most senior member of the [Yanfu Dao], began to summon several fellow practitioners.

……

The Aquarius Universe is a relatively dark corner of the Abyss, making it a rather low-key Producer Universe.

It has never undergone any particularly serious major repairs, and it has rarely been deeply involved in the many major events within the [Great Abyss].

It's a small, happy realm where you can close the door and live your own little life.

If there was one noteworthy event in the past year, it would probably be the Third Lord of the Aquarius Seal, the Lord of Vasa, who recklessly provoked enemies and was hunted by the distant God of the Sea.

As a result, his own [Time Sequence] was snatched away, and his originally immortal and indestructible divine position was also completely devoured by the Empress.

Ten thousand years later, the remote [Aquarius Universe] has once again undergone new changes.

This world is divided into layers, with a total of eighty-one days.

A powerful being who created the world divided all living beings into eighty-one classes according to the nobility of their bloodline, the level of their cultivation, and their lineage, and assigned them to different heavens.

It can be considered a large realm with strict laws and regulations everywhere.

On this day, from beyond the boundary, two thick fingers appeared, transforming into light.

Upon closer inspection, these two fingers, one index finger and one middle finger, exude an extremely strong and unrestrained aura.

He placed two fingers on the outside of the [Treasure Bottle Seal Universe], carefully observed this realm, and then rushed straight into the realm.

And on the fingernail of that index finger, a strange ghostly script quietly appeared:
"change!"

As soon as the "Transformation" technique was used, an extreme force of attrition suddenly appeared, forcefully corroding a large hole in the defensive barrier of the "Treasure Bottle Seal Universe".

This defense, powerful enough to withstand the forces of countless tribulations in the void, is as thin as a sheet of paper before the [Transformation] technique.

These two fingers head straight for the three heavens above the [Treasure Vase Seal].

Within the eighty-one days, only the top three days have the powerful [Old Time Order] of the first rank to suppress them, making them the enemies that must be dealt with first for the two fingers.

This realm's foundation is average; as long as these few [Ancient Ones] are suppressed, the entire realm will be at your disposal.

Littlefinger left five fingers of his left hand in the Abyss, hiding them in the cultivation world. His purpose was to collect valuable materials for himself and find a way to transfer them to Infinite Hell so that he could harvest the resources of Infinite Hell.

The so-called valuable materials are high-grade "destiny charts"!
This requires the fingers to delve into the world of cultivation, attempt to nurture prodigies, and then plunder their painstakingly awakened [Destiny].

That's how the [Nine Dragon Cauldron Universe] was slowly hollowed out.

Now, it's the turn of the [Aquarius Universe]!

……

The Eight Treasures Tree Universe is one of the few Buddhist realms within the Great Abyss.

The five saints—Heart, Fate, Qi, Immortal, and Time—were not Buddhists, and the lineages they passed down naturally had nothing to do with Buddhism.

Unfortunately, this Buddhist tradition is characterized by its unwavering perseverance and exceptional ability to scheme and maneuver.

They were like locusts, spreading throughout all realms!
Whether it's the highly enclosed [Great Abyss] or the [Great Ruins] dominated by several demons in [Night Jade].

Even secret organizations like the "Daydreaming Society" and the "Covenant" have Buddhist influence.

Looking at all these realms, the source of the entire Buddhist tradition is still Bodhidharma!
[Blind] Deep in his heart, he is no longer compatible with the true Dharma of Buddhism and no longer regards himself as a Buddhist disciple.

However, he remained peacefully stationed in the [Eight Treasures Tree Universe], cultivating in peace.

In Buddhism, offerings and service are emphasized. As long as one can maintain a high status, there will be a continuous supply of resources, which can be described as worry-free and convenient.

His unconventional approach to practice, which differs greatly from Mahayana Buddhism, is also easy to explain.

Buddhism prides itself on being all-encompassing, so it's quite reasonable that it created a sect called "Buddhist Demonism," where people can pick up a butcher's knife and instantly become demons.

Anyway, his position is the number one fighter of the [Eight Treasures Tree]. As long as his combat strength is sufficient, he doesn't need to worry about his status.

Relying on the [Eight Treasures Tree], the [Eyeless]'s temporal accumulation speed is not slow.

His cultivation as a first-rank cultivator was progressing very smoothly. On this day, he received a long-awaited message from his distant homeland and his sect, the Yanfu Dao.

Even though [Eyeless] was a veteran of many battles, he was still greatly surprised when he saw the message from [Ghost Hair].

[The Patriarch of Jambudvipa] has been resurrected?
We need to defeat the Great Demon of the Other Shore?
This, this, this, this!
The nearly bankrupt [Yanfudao] still offers such team-building benefits?
Is this some kind of scam by [Ghost Hair]?
Regardless, [Eyeless] set off for [Yanfu Nursery] without any hesitation.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

……

[I'm sick] I've been very distressed lately!
His spiritual practice has run into serious problems!
He was once trampled on by the Celestial Being of the Yama Ancestor for thousands of years.

He was completely soaked in the power of the Dao Ancestor.

These are common tribulations and opportunities on the path of cultivation in the [Yanfu Dao]. If one can overcome them, one can absorb the legacy of the [Dao Ancestor], which will greatly benefit one's own path of cultivation.

It was precisely because of this "foundation" that [Youbing] was able to rise rapidly after the decline of [Yanfudao] and join the ranks of the upper three grades.

However, recently, as his cultivation has become increasingly profound, especially when he touched the edge of the threshold of [Time Sequence].

The dormant aura of the [Yanfu Dao Ancestor] within his body, which had been dormant for many years, began to stir uncontrollably!

It was as if a sleeping behemoth was about to awaken, or as if a mark imprinted deep in one's bones was being activated.

That vast, ancient power, imbued with the essence of [Yanfu], surged through his meridians, acupoints, and even his soul, attempting to regain dominance.

His body sometimes swelled up like a ball, and sometimes withered like a skewer, with bulging and moving air masses constantly rising under his skin, radiating a chilling pressure.

Even more terrifying, his consciousness would occasionally waver, as if he were about to leave his body and be pulled into some ethereal, ancient realm composed of countless beast roars.

"Damn it... how come this little bit of 'marinade' has rebelled?"

[Ill] He sat cross-legged in his cave, which he had set up with many restrictions, his expression changing constantly as he tried his best to suppress the turmoil within his body.

Just when he was at his wit's end, the summons from [Ghost Hair] arrived.

"Hunting the Other Shore? A scheme devised by the Ancestral Master?"

[Sick] was reading the message when he was first startled, then overjoyed.

He finally found the root cause of the problem.

He's finally saved!
……

During the battle at the Heavenly Stairs, Jing Qian was still vying with the Mirror of Fate.

However, after such a long delay, the situation between the two sides has completely reversed.

The female cultivator already knew that she absolutely could not contain the entire [Sumeru] dimension.

Therefore, she began to turn around and push Jingqian away.

But Jing Qian completely disagreed!

He didn't care whether the female cultivator was willing or not. Since he had taken a liking to the illusory and real path of this "Fate in the Mirror," how could he be satisfied without exploring it to the end?

The Dao patterns around Pangu's body flowed, resonating with the entire Sumeru dimension. The weight and vastness of the dimension itself were not weakened by the female cultivator's resistance; on the contrary, they penetrated into the mirror even more domineeringly.

"You...you stop right now! [Mirror Image] can't take it!"

The female cultivator let out a rare scream, for the first time she clearly felt her natal [spiritual treasure] emitting a mournful cry!
For the first time ever, cracks appeared on the mirror surface, and they showed a tendency to spread under pressure.

She desperately tried to use her magic to close the mirror passage, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The illusion of the "Stairway to Heaven" is not an illusion.

As cultivators delve deeper into it, all the consumption of magical power and the feedback from combat become incredibly realistic.

If her "Mirror Image" is truly burst, then upon returning to the mortal world, she will inevitably suffer spiritual damage!

This is a huge loss!
"Why be so stingy, fellow Daoist? I am merely borrowing this precious place for a look, not forcibly taking it from you."

Jing Qian laughed heartily, but his movements never stopped.

He wasn't acting recklessly. [Qili] perched on his shoulder, its cat eyes radiating magical power, like the most precise probe, analyzing every moment and every detail of [Mirror's Edge]'s shift between reality and illusion.

Whether Jing Qianming understands it or not is not important; [Qili] is the core of transforming [Flame Mountain], and it must figure this out.

"I see... It's not a purely imaginary creation, but rather based on reality, 'reflecting' and 'reflecting' it, relying on 'information' that exists in the present world between the virtual and the real..."

Jing Qian seemed to be deep in thought. What he had sensed from the Ruins of Imagination was more in line with the principles of "manifestation of thoughts" and "creation from nothingness," and was indeed fundamentally different from what he had sensed from the Ruins of Imagination.

【Mirror's Edge】is more like a sophisticated tool for illusion and reflection, while 【Imaginary Ruins】is closer to the power of illusory imagination.

"Wonderful! Each has its own merits! If I can integrate these two profound mysteries of illusion and reality, how could I not connect all realms with my [Sumeru] dimension?"

The gleam in Jing Qian's eyes grew even brighter.

This was a significant gain that exceeded his expectations!
It's much more interesting than just dryly earning points!
Just then, a thought struck him, and he sensed the increasingly clear fluctuations coming from [Ghost Hair].

He was somewhat surprised at first, but after he analyzed the information, his surprise grew even greater.

The Dao Ancestor is not dead?
If we were to share in the incarnation of the patriarch, wouldn't that be equivalent to scraping flesh off the patriarch of the Dao?

However, this information piqued his interest even more, and he certainly wouldn't miss this [Yanfuzi] team-building event.

However, this means we still need to figure out a way to deal with the challenge of the [Heavenly Steps].

He no longer attempted to cram the entire [Sumeru] dimension into the female cultivator's domain.

His reflection in the [Mirror of Fate] transformed into a brutal slash, unleashing three [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formations] that hurtled straight towards the female cultivator.
