#411 - Winter is coming
"Could you describe it in detail?"
After Wang Jixuan asked this question, Sanjie Langlangzi was silent for a while, then he actively transferred this part of his memory into the Stone of the Past and pushed it to Wang Jixuan.
Daoist Wang carefully looked at it several times, his expression changing from doubt to even more doubt.
He originally thought that the Immortal Gate was the gate to the Immortal Realm that he would see after ascending.
Only after looking at the old man's memory did he realize that the so-called Immortal Gate was a gate formed by the condensation of tribulation clouds after passing through the Heavenly Tribulation. Inside, there were infinite immortal realms, many auspicious omens, and Wang Jixuan's dream lover from that year—celestial maidens soaring in groups.
A rainbow-colored light ladder extended downwards from the Immortal Gate.
At that time, Sanjie Langlangzi tidied up his clothes, put on his long robe, and ascended step by step along the rainbow-colored light ladder.
He turned back, wanting to say goodbye.
Only then did he realize that the place he had chosen to undergo tribulation was a barren planet full of spiritual energy, long abandoned by some unknown civilization. The people of the Yina civilization were waiting outside the planet.
'Forget it, there's no need to say more to them. I have already given all the instructions that needed to be given, and the anomalies here can also prove the success of my ascension.'
'If they were to see the scenery of the Immortal Gate, I fear it would arouse unnecessary greed.'
'In the end, I failed to leave behind a complete Dao inheritance... Alas, their civilization has its own path to take, and I have a clear conscience towards them.'
'I wonder, compared to the beauties of Yina, whose slender waist is more delicate among the celestial maidens of the Immortal Realm?'
The old Daoist approached the Immortal Gate, held his breath, focused his mind, and dispelled all distracting thoughts.
He was just one step away from stepping into the Immortal Gate.
Suddenly, a warning sign flared up, and the old Daoist looked up ahead, his pupils shrinking sharply.
The many beautiful scenes instantly collapsed.
A finger pointed out from within the Immortal Gate, directly crushing towards the old Daoist.
This finger spanned the universe, fixed the years, seemed to go against the long river of time, and also seemed to smash down from the upper reaches of the long river of time, cutting off all paths of life, determined to kill Sanjie Langlangzi.
The Immortal Gate instantly collapsed, and inside was a dark and cavernous cloud.
Sanjie Langlangzi struggled desperately, but he simply didn't have time to make any movements. Even though he was now a half-immortal body, he only needed to step into the Immortal Gate to receive the baptism of immortal spiritual energy to transform into a Yuan Immortal, but that finger still only aroused despair in him.
Then, his consciousness instantly annihilated.
When he woke up, his remnant soul was already in the Stone of the Past held by the spiritual servant of the Yina civilization.
Sanjie Langlangzi didn't bring this stone with him when he ascended.
After all, this was the property of the Yina civilization. Lending it to him for refining and comprehension for many years was already generous. It would be too inconsiderate of him to take this thing away.
But he never expected that he would still be brought back by this object.
After that, the memory of Sanjie Langlangzi's remnant soul began to show some deviations. That finger turned into a second Heavenly Punishment, as if some force had deliberately modified his memory.
Wang Jixuan had already seen what happened next in the Stone of the Past.
Sanjie Langlangzi was desperate and lost, and he was depressed for a long time.
That modified memory was also slowly corrected back by this Stone of the Past.
"That finger..."
Daoist Wang lowered his head in thought.
The old man sitting opposite him sighed with a smile: "I don't know who it was, but it's obvious that they don't allow me to become an immortal."
"You and I are originally one, just two lifetimes before and after."
Wang Jixuan gently exhaled:
"I will both correct the mistakes you and I made, and I will also find a way to avenge you and me."
"That should be a finger from a master in the Immortal Realm, why? Do you have any ideas?"
"I have some."
The old man pondered for a few moments:
"There are only two aspects to it: the uniqueness of myself, or the uniqueness of the things I carry."
"The uniqueness of myself actually refers to the fact that I used the scientific and technological means of the Yina civilization to deduce the methods of formation and weapon refining for thousands of years, creating the core circuit, which is something that can mass-produce spiritual cultivators."
"The unrestricted core circuit can actually mass-produce experts in the late stage of the Integration Realm."
"Although these experts are not necessarily able to beat a real Integration Realm cultivator even ten to one, as long as they have an advantage in numbers, they can still play a role."
"But when I think about it... that's the Immortal Realm, shouldn't everyone in the Immortal Realm be at least an immortal? Wouldn't an immortal be able to extinguish an Integration Realm cultivator with a single breath?"
Wang Jixuan nodded, his eyes full of thought, and said again: "Could it be the potential contained in this technology?"
"Yes," the old man said, "This is actually the most likely guess... At that time, the only things I carried with me were various precious materials collected by the Yina civilization, thinking that I would go to heaven to be a god, even if I started as a basic heavenly soldier, having a little more precious wealth would make life easier."
Wang Jixuan gave a thumbs up.
Good fellow, he thought of the same thing!
The old man continued: "If it was this magical Stone of the Past that triggered that attack, then I can understand it, after all, this thing is too magical, very much like something from the Immortal Realm, but I didn't carry it with me at the time."
"Could it be that your memory was modified?"
"No, the Stone of the Past helped me restore this part of my memory. It's naturally clear and without any obscurity, so I can determine that it's the real memory."
Wang Jixuan was silent again.
His current body was actually on the verge of collapse, and there was no way to heal this collapse.
Just as Obsidian said, using too much power that doesn't belong to the current realm will inevitably bear a price. Next, he would face a series of pains such as ten thousand souls devouring his heart, demonic energy backlash, and the shattering of his Dao body.
But compared to the desire for knowledge and the obsession with ascending to the Immortal Realm, Wang Jixuan simply didn't have time to think about this kind of pain.
Pain is just a small matter.
Compared to being half a step away from becoming an immortal, can that even be called a matter?
Later, he would seal off his Yuan Spirit and let his second self help him heal.
Wang Jixuan suddenly said: "Could it be that you and I were too licentious in the Yina civilization, and the Immortal Realm also has moral character exams?"
"There was already a Heavenly Punishment before, falling together with the Heavenly Tribulation."
Sanjie Langlangzi said:
"Passing through the Heavenly Punishment washes away all the karma of the mortal world, this is the legend of the cultivation world."
"Besides, I can shamelessly say that although I have had dozens of romantic relationships, they were all true love and mutual affection. I accompanied them along the way, and they followed me on my journey. What's wrong with mutual willingness?"
"As for helping the Yina civilization conquer the east and attack the west... I actually have a sense of proportion. All those I killed were evil people, and I also saved many mortals, allowing the Yina civilization to adopt a gentle policy. Even if I didn't benefit one side, I can be considered to have done some merit."
Wang Jixuan pondered for a few moments and slowly nodded.
Sanjie Langlangzi said again: "You don't have to worry about the sins of this matter. You and I are already two souls, with the same status but different fates. I can only protect you for another hundred years, and I have completely exhausted the last bit of my energy."
"Let's merge our minds for a moment."
Wang Jixuan suggested:
"I want to make sure that you are not some great demon who has seized my second life."
Sanjie Langlangzi smiled sheepishly: "Then let's do it."
Daoist Wang nodded, and a stream of light bloomed from his brow. Sanjie Langlangzi's body turned into a ball of light, with fluorescent light constantly surrounding it.
The two merged for a moment.
Wang Jixuan opened his eyes, gently sighed, and a sense of relief arose in his heart.
There was indeed no problem.
It wasn't an external demon, nor was it a heart demon.
That finger did exist.
The experience of passing through the tribulation was also shared with his side. This was the most important thing. Wang Jixuan now had 30% more confidence in passing through the Heavenly Tribulation.
The problem was whether that finger would come again.
Moreover, the most important thing right now was for him to survive the current backlash completely, and not completely fall into the demonic path in pain.
"Help me."
Wang Jixuan uttered these two words, and his body suddenly collapsed.
Yes, collapsed.
He collapsed like soft mud, his skin like painted leather, his internal organs completely ruptured, and cracks all over his Dao body, with strands about to seep out.
Wang Jixuan instantly sealed off his Yuan Spirit, preserving his own Dao heart and Dao realm.
As for the Dao body and Dao foundation...
Sanjie Langlangzi nodded with a solemn expression, flicked his fingers, and streams of spiritual light flew from all directions, wrapping Wang Jixuan's Dao body and reshaping it into a human form.
This time, Wang Jixuan's closed-door cultivation was far from just healing.
...
"Holy crap!"
The latest and most complete novels are available at Liu 9 Shu Ba!
Zheng Shiduo's loud shout woke Wu Man from his meditation.
Wu Man frowned slightly, glanced at a certain pervert who was jumping around everywhere, jumping tens of meters high with each jump, and then continued to look inward.
The spiritual energy circuit was gone.
What replaced it was the core circuit... and it was a core circuit that emitted a faint golden light, as if it had boundless power.
Below the core circuit, there was also a sea of Qi. In addition to the various spiritual energy circuits in his body, he could also constantly draw spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth.
And this was the opportunity that Wang Jixuan gave them.
The Red Serpent not far away also woke up, looking down at her body. The 'elements' related to the Blade Beast on her body had disappeared, and she was completely in human form. Her teeth had also returned to normal human's neat white teeth, no longer the terrifying serrated shape.
The Red Serpent leaped up, and her body suddenly bloomed with red light, directly transforming into a Blade Beast that was forty to fifty meters tall and close to human form, covered in a streamlined exoskeleton.
Like a mecha.
She returned to human form, and then excitedly clenched her fist and shouted, then turned her head and looked around, only to find that the three of them were on a high mountain.
No, this wasn't a high mountain, this was...
The top of the asteroid that was pressed on the abdomen of the D8 Integrated War Zone.
Damaged small engines could be seen everywhere.
Thinking of the casualties of this battle, the Red Serpent suddenly stopped smiling.
Zheng Shiduo also stopped shouting, scratched his head, and looked up at the sky.
The sky had returned to azure blue.
This was actually not reasonable.
The dust cloud caused by this collision, along with the thick volcanic clouds from subsequent volcanic eruptions, could easily plunge Earth into a new ice age… But it didn't happen. For some reason, the dust settled on the ground ahead of time. Although volcanoes in various places are still active, the volcanic clouds from later eruptions can only affect local areas.
The Earth's climate will inevitably be affected next, but this impact has been minimized.
"Is it those dark clouds that Brother Wang created?"
Zheng Shiduo sighed, plopping down next to Wu Man, a hint of helplessness in his eyes:
"These bastards are real bastards. I'm talking about those Blade Beasts and the spiritual cultivators who released this asteroid weapon. Damn it, if I ever get the chance to fight them, I'll stuff their asses full of spiked clubs!"
Wu Man asked, "Where's Teacher?"
"I don't know," Red Snake recalled for a moment, "Where are Amina and Nielda Damon?"
As soon as she finished speaking, two figures flew over from not far away.
Wu Man had some impression of these two. Their identities were similar to Xiang Tiantian, but they were both genuine SS-level spiritual cultivators—Amina's spirit slaves.
The two stepped forward to explain their purpose, explaining that Amina and Nielda Damon were leading the spirit slaves of their respective families, cooperating with Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian to carry out the extermination of the Blade Beasts.
Red Snake was stunned for a moment: "Blade Beast extermination?"
"Yes, the great pioneer, the immortal hero, Mr. Black Storm, has already eliminated all the pillar Blade Beasts and the evil spiritual cultivators on Earth."
"Mr. Black Storm also annihilated several large waves of Blade Beasts gathered together."
"Now, the three of you should have gained some new power. Lady Amina wants to invite the two newly advanced spiritual cultivators, Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo, to take action, so that humanity can save more resources to cope with the coming winter."
"Okay."
Wu Man suddenly asked, "Is Yezi dead?"
"Yezi hid at the time, and the great pioneer didn't mention her much. However, Lady Amina has already issued an order: whoever can find Yezi will be killed without mercy."
"Okay," Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo exchanged glances, and at the same time looked at Red Snake.
Red Snake blinked: "Why are you looking at me? You don't want to exterminate me too, do you? I'm Senior Sister!"
Zheng Shiduo chuckled: "Then can I become Junior Brother Number Three?"
"Get rid of that perverted energy of yours first!" Red Snake scolded, "Stop trying to put gold on your face and don't even think about coming here to ruin our sect's reputation!"
Wu Man said solemnly: "Sister, go protect Master's wife. I'm afraid the Blade Beasts will counterattack for revenge."
"Oh right," Red Snake immediately took out the communicator from her storage bracelet, "You go kill the enemy, I'll go to Ling Tong's side. She should be injured too… Did Teacher say when he'll be back?"
Zheng Shiduo said: "He said he needs to heal. This time he used the remnant soul of his previous life, and his body can't bear this huge power. It may take twenty or thirty years, or even fifty years, before he can come out of seclusion."
Red Snake glared: "Fifty years! My Tongtong will be menopausal! That's too long!"
"Hey, what are you talking about!"
"Okay, okay," Red Snake said, "I'll go back and find Master's wife. You guys work hard to kill the enemy!"
Red Snake leaped up and flew close to the ground.
She had an extra round bead in her body, and two new cultivation methods of the demon race and more than a dozen spells were added to her mind.
Compared to Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo, who were developing towards spiritual cultivators and greatly improved their combat strength in a short period of time, Red Snake had to cultivate steadily.
By the way.
Amina also holds twelve core circuits.
Wang Jixuan picked them all up.
According to Wang Jixuan's instructions, Amina and Nielda Damon will guard the Earth for a hundred years, and they will each take two of these twelve core circuits as a reward for guarding the Earth. Of the remaining eight, only Fu Jian and Ling Tong are qualified to distribute them.
This time, the Obsidian forces suffered heavy losses, the Blade Beast civilization suffered a slight loss, and the Earth civilization gained armaments.
In fact, their crisis has not been resolved.
The Blade Beasts are positioning Mars and will begin a large-scale transfer in a year and a half, while Wang Jixuan will be in seclusion for decades.
Amina must find a way to get Earth through the coming winter.
