Chapter 1365: Is It Suitable?
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
On the third level of Mount Yujing’s Tripitaka Block, Zhu Yi casted his vision towards his own Heavenly Temple and sensed the mana ripples coming from over there.
A cold-looking youth with white hair was sitting beside him. He turned towards the Heavenly Temple and asked, “Ying Luozha?”
Zhu Yi nodded and said, “Yes. He managed to break through his shackles and the bottleneck to reach the immortal soul stage.”
The white-haired youth was Lin Feng’s third disciple, the Extreme Dao Eminent, Wang Lin. Another youth clad in a purple robe was beside Wang Lin. One of his eyes was black while the other was white, as if they were Yin and Yang – it was Lin Feng’s fifth disciple, the Yin Yang Holy Priest, Yang Qing.
Yang Qing glanced at the Heavenly Temple as well before his eyes turned towards the Wasteland Valley. He asked Zhu Yi, “You’re not handling anything at all. Is everything okay?”
Zhu Yi answered, “Tian Hong sought out Ying Luozha as soon as was possible after she met Yunsheng. This means that her choice has never changed from the beginning to the end. In that case, I will start to worry if Ying Luozha couldn’t break through his bottleneck so quickly after meeting her.”
“Now that Ying Luozha is in the immortal soul stage, everything is alright now. I will let Tian Hong and Yunsheng figure things out by themselves.”
Yang Qing nodded and said, “You’re right about that.”
Wang Lin asked, “How’s Yuncong doing? Is he ready to make the final step?”
Yang Qing smiled and said, “We have been taking our time to ensure that everything will be fine. He is sufficiently prepared, and I will let him attempt to reach the immortal soul stage soon.”
“Yuncong has been getting used to this over the years. He is irritable and easily flustered because of his Yang-Incinerating Entity, but he’s able to control and restrain himself now.”
Both Zhu Yi and Wang Lin tilted their heads. “That’s good. These problems will cease to be after he reaches the immortal soul stage, and Yuncong will have a smooth future from then on.”
“That’s correct. It’s better to be safe than sorry for this last hurdle. He will be in boundless open vistas after that,” Yang Qing smiled at Wang Lin and continued, “Our eldest senior brother has Tian Cang and Tian Qing, and now second senior brother has Tian Tai and Tian Bi. I wonder when the second immortal soul stage cultivator will appear under your wing?”
Wang Lin said, “Everything will be fine after a few days – she shouldn’t be slower than Yuncong.”
Zhu Yi and Yang Qing exchanged a look. “Is she moving out today?”
Wang Lin nodded. “Yes. Xingfei has departed the mountain today, and she should be on her way home by now.”
A Yi Daoist Talisman could be faintly seen hovering in Zhu Yi’s eyes. It flickered with pale radiance and rotated continuously. The void inside the Tripitaka Block became deep and endless wherever his eyes reached, as if the entire universe was right before his eyes.
There appeared to be a formless human figure inside this vastness. This shadow was like the sun, the moon, and the stars; this shadow wore the mountains and the oceans like they were its clothes, and it stared down at everything below the skies. This person’s face was almost completely white, and he didn’t have any facial features at all.
However, this faceless shadow displayed a formidably intimidating and dignified aura, as if he represented the only truth in the world, and he was the dictator of the entire, as if he set the rules and represented heaven and earth and the great Dao.
A myriad of emotions flowed from this person’s body. However, nothing seemed to exist if one observed closely, as if there was nothing there at all and everything was empty.
Emotions grew thin once they became as deep as they could be – forgetting emotions didn’t mean one didn’t have any. The projection from Zhu Yi’s eyes was surprisingly playing out one of the Great Void Sect’s two most supreme mantras, the Mantra of the Great Oblivion.
Cultivators from the Great Void Sect would recognize that the true Mantra of the Great Oblivion was a little different from Zhu Yi’s projection. However, anybody outside the Great Void Sect would probably conclude that the Celestial Sect of Wonders managed to figure out this top-tier mantra.
The Yi Daoist Talisman in Zhu Yi’s eyes rotated slowly. “This is working thanks to the Ancient Satanic Heart Curse. Even though the lineage is different, it’s enough to help me comprehend by analogy. This display is similar but ultimately different, but it’s enough for experimentational purposes.”
Wang Lin tilted his head, while the black and white lights in Yang Qing’s eyes intertwined. The two beams of light appeared like the two extremes of Yin and Yang.
A Yi Daoist Talisman appeared in Zhu Yi’s other eye. It released a ray of light and formed another patch of void in the distance. However, this region was pitch black, and the Yin and Yang beams from Yang Qing’s eyes descended into this patch of darkness as they circulated continuously and interacted with one another.
The Yin and Yang beams transformed into two beams of light, one black and one white, while they continued intertwining with each other in the seemingly endless void space before they became a cycle that appeared like it continued to spin indefinitely.
Yin and Yang broke each other down but built each other up, and gradually seemed to become a world of destiny. Yin and Yang continued to rotate and intertwine as they abnormalized everything inside the void.
Wang Lin’s eyes sparkled as she said, “Reverse.”
The rotating beams of black and white paused, and actually started turning in the other direction. It was no longer expanding, and instead started to become smaller.
Yin and Yang grew smaller and smaller, and the endless void around it seemed to collapse together along with it with the two beams of energy as the center. Everything continued collapsing and condensing into a single point.
On the other side, the heavens that resembled the great oblivion transformed as well. The formless human shadow gradually began to disappear.
This wasn’t just visual formlessness. It felt as if the person’s entire being ceased to exist – except, the universe and its vastness seemed to grow even more profound as it blanketed over everything.
Yang Qing muttered, “We still need more confirmation to be sure.”
Zhu Yi nodded and said “We will be able to feel it when the Great Void Sect’s cultivators study this because heaven and earth will react.”
Yang Qing turned towards Wang Lin. “The Great Void Sect’s cultivators should be able to feel our own decipherment through the great Dao, and they should be aware. Do you think it’s okay for Tian Chi to proceed alone?”
Wang Lin’s expression was calm, and his eyes were plain. “I can still make it there in time if something does go wrong.”
Just when the three brothers were talking, the void space split open in a middle world away from the Greater World, and a purple-robed girl strode out from within. She didn’t have any dramatic effects, and the void space that was split open didn’t appear twisted or cracked. The gash was neat and orderly, as if she was opening a normal door.
This girl was pretty and charming, and she looked like she was just over twenty years of age. There wasn’t much of an aura around her body, but everybody that knew her wouldn’t dare to underestimate her.
The reason was because she was the Forest Abode’s second-generation First Elder, Li Xingfei.
Her senior sister, Dao Yuting, had long been in the immortal soul stage but Xingfei herself wasn’t in the immortal soul stage yet. However, she had been in the nascent soul advanced stage for a long time.
Li Xingfei’s cultivation speed was slow at first but grew faster and faster. Under Wang Lin’s guidance, her improvements became more conspicuous. She was originally able to reach the immortal soul stage along with Huang Zhenting and Yang Tie, but some unexpected circumstances occurred that delayed her.
She was here to handle these things today.
Li Xingfei’s expression was calm as she sauntered through the void. She didn’t alert anyone as she descended towards a nearby city inside this middle world. There was a manor near this city called the Li Manor, and this was the residence of Li Xingfei’s parents.
It was like any typical manor, but everybody within a million miles knew that they would rather incur the wrath of the city’s owner than offend the residents of this normal-looking manor.
The Li family’s environment wasn’t too bad, while their intimidating aura was naturally due to Li Xingfei.
Even without considering the Forest Abode and Celestial Sect of Wonders behind Li Xingfei, she herself was well-known throughout the entire Greater World.
Li Xingfei entered the manor. The servant girls and butlers seemed like they didn’t know she existed while she quietly proceeded forward and came to a small mansion at the back.
Both her parents were surprised when they saw their daughter appear before their very eyes.
“Mother, Father.” Li Xingfei greeted her parents, and her father smiled. “Why didn’t you give us a heads up, Chen Jun, that you are coming? Are you back by yourself, or with your host of disciples?”
Li Xingfei’s eyes rippled with emotion when she heard her parents address her by her nickname. Her emotions poured forth, until they became like raging tides and tsunamis and she could no longer maintain her composure.
Her parents were astonished at her reaction. They had always known their daughter to be stable and level-headed. Now that she had a high level of mastery, her status was revered, and she was widely respected, they had never seen her like this even when they were with her.
Li Xingfei took a deep breath and said softly, “Mother, Father, take a look at these things – will they be useful?”
She took out a jade talisman and crushed it in her hands as she spoke.
A ray of light shot out from the jade talisman. The space inside the house began to twist and contort from the radiance, and immediately changed its form.
The vast heavens appeared before the three of them. Her parents’ eyes sparkled, and her mother smiled. “You know we don’t understand your cultivations and whatnot. Doesn’t that mean showing this to us…”
She was suddenly unable to complete her sentence. Her mother stared at the light projection before her and her eyes slowly grew slack and lackadaisical. “This… This is…”
Her entire body trembled and she leapt to her feet. Her eyes were fixed upon the light projection before her, and she snapped her head back towards her husband. “This really is…”
Her father got to his feet in shock. He stared at the light projection for a long while, and his eyes sparkled with strange lights that Li Xingfei had never seen before.
At this moment, she truly felt an unprecedented unfamiliarity with her parents.
“No, it’s not the same…” Her father heaved a heavy sigh after a while. Her mother inspected for a moment longer and finally nodded her head. “You’re right… It’s different!”
And then they turned towards Li Xingfei.
Li Xingfei’s emotions finally settled down and she said calmly, “Father, Mother – you do recognize the Mantra of the Great Oblivion. Since that’s the case, can you give your daughter a few pointers?”
