#456 - Peony is good, but it needs to be cultivated.
Old Shao flashed and arrived in the courtyard, his brow furrowed as he stood outside the pavilion, his eyes looking up at the horizon.
Yin Lin moved a little slower, flying in with the wheelchair.
Wang Ji Xuan also opened his eyes at this moment.
His cultivation had broken through, and he was not far from the Great Vehicle of the Third Life. This should have been a happy event, but now the might of the heavens was upon him, almost making it impossible for him to breathe, and he couldn't even twitch half a finger.
This kind of heavenly might was completely different from the pressure of cultivators and could not be resisted by human power.
At least ordinary immortals couldn't resist it.
However, Wang Ji Xuan was now just unable to move, and had no other symptoms. He could even use his spiritual sense, which only extended three inches around him, to see the strange eyes that had appeared behind him.
It was as if there was a giant's face there, but at this moment only a pair of eyes were revealed.
What, what's going on?
Even the heavenly pressure during the tribulation was not so clear, right?
—An assessment from someone who had failed the Heavenly Tribulation twice.
Those eyes seemed to be staring at something.
Wang Ji Xuan felt that every second was slowing down. The world became very dim. In this heaven and earth, only the eyes behind him remained, and he had no idea what was happening.
The feeling of suffocation lasted for several minutes.
Suddenly.
Wang Ji Xuan only felt his whole body lighten, and he staggered forward, but Amy, who was not affected, quickly supported him.
"They're closed!" Yin Lin shouted in a firm voice.
Only then did Wang Ji Xuan turn around.
Looking back, the sky was clear and bright, with two white clouds floating in the blue sky, with nothing unusual.
It was as if the Eye of Heaven just now was his illusion.
A breeze blew by, and Wang Ji Xuan broke out in a cold sweat.
"Help me sit down."
"Okay," Amy Mina supported Wang Ji Xuan with all her strength.
After he was seated in the pavilion, he immediately closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing, so as not to leave any shadow in his heart.
Old Shao and Yin Lin waited by the side.
The two exchanged glances and began to whisper to each other, but neither could say what was going on.
In this vast world, the Dao of Heaven is hidden but not visible, but it governs the operation of the Immortal World, the True World, and the Void World, and has formulated countless rules to restrain living beings.
And they, the Heavenly Net Crowd, are like the Dark Cultists, the creatures closest to the Heavenly Dao.
But they, even Old Shao, only sense the Heavenly Dao through the Heavenly Dao Tablet.
No one can communicate directly with the Heavenly Dao.
No, perhaps the Grand Luo Golden Immortal can, and it must be a Grand Luo Golden Immortal recognized by the Heavenly Dao, who can communicate directly with the Heavenly Dao.
But like this, the Heavenly Dao manifested its eyes, stared at a living being for a few minutes, and finally did not bring down heavenly condemnation, did not give heavenly punishment, and did not give any reward…
This kind of thing is too unbelievable.
"This," Yin Lin swallowed, "Old Shao, what's going on?"
"I don't understand."
Old Shao pondered with his hands behind his back, walked to Wang Ji Xuan's side, and observed the condition of Wang Ji Xuan's primordial spirit.
"He's fine, it's just that the primordial spirit is affected by the might of the Heavenly Dao."
"It's not…"
Yin Lin looked at the equally dazed Red Serpent and Gao Huating, and for a moment he didn't know how to complain, so he could only mutter in his heart.
'I should keep my distance from this kid in the future, I don't want to be involved in any strange incidents.'
Half an hour later.
Wang Ji Xuan's primordial spirit returned to normal, and his body was no longer abnormal.
When he opened his eyes, he saw an old man with white hair, which was naturally the clone of Old Shao's wisp of primordial spirit.
Daoist Wang immediately got up and respectfully bowed to Old Shao.
"Greetings, Senior."
Old Shao smiled and helped him up, and said slowly: "There is no need to be polite, the poor Taoist also accepted the task of the Heavenly Dao Tablet and came to help you ascend to the Immortal World smoothly… Do you have any feelings?"
"Feeling?"
"The gaze of the Heavenly Dao, the arrival of the Heavenly Might."
Old Shao asked directly:
"Do you have anything unusual? Did the Heavenly Dao say anything to you?
"If it is inconvenient to say these things, then you don't have to tell us. The poor Taoist is just curious."
After speaking, Old Shao looked at Wang Ji Xuan expectantly.
Daoist Wang scratched his head a little.
He really didn't have any information.
"I just have some insights… This insight is not very profound, and it is also a little accumulation after my hard work…"
"Strange, why would the Heavenly Dao stare at you?"
Wang Ji Xuan really couldn't answer.
Because he really didn't do anything.
In front of this Old Shao, Daoist Wang could only try his best to express his sincerity, at least to look sincere.
Old Shao asked: "Can you let me investigate?"
"Of course," Wang Ji Xuan generously handed over his right hand.
"Good."
There was a bit more smile in Old Shao's eyes. He held Wang Ji Xuan's arm, and a wisp of immortal consciousness penetrated into it. The old Heavenly Immortal began to stroke his beard and chant softly.
Not long after, Old Shao asked Daoist Wang to take back his arm, and he already had some guesses.
Old Shao said solemnly:
"The Heavenly Dao manifested its giant eyes to stare at you, and it was both eyes, not the one-eyed eye symbolizing the Heavenly Dao's condemnation. This actually shows that the Heavenly Dao is also curious about you."
"The Heavenly Dao can know everything about the past and present, and can deduce countless possibilities for the future."
"Perhaps it is because of the arrival of the poor Taoist that you will be able to avoid the death tribulation in the near future, so that your destiny will change and a possibility that can affect the pattern of the Three Realms will be born."
"This matter is of great importance, you must not go around showing off to others."
"Hey, yes," Wang Ji Xuan said with a straight face, "Amy Mina, Red Serpent, Little Hua Ting, you must also remember to keep it secret."
The three agreed separately.
Old Shao said with a smile: "Okay, I originally wanted to come and say hello to you, but today is obviously not the right time. You should recuperate first, and the poor Taoist will also visit a few Grand Luo Golden Immortal seniors to discuss what is going on."
"Thank you, Old Shao, you have taken the trouble."
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay. Your core circuit magic has given us a lot of inspiration. Now everyone is looking forward to you going to the Immortal World."
Old Shao happily said goodbye and left.
Under Yin Lin's threatening gaze, Wang Ji Xuan sent Old Shao out the door and followed him for a long time, almost sending Old Shao back to his residence directly.
'Fortunately, Old Shao doesn't live here.'
Wang Ji Xuan was slightly relieved in his heart.
He is now used to being idle, and living with this kind of senior expert will inevitably feel a little restrained.
The Taoist returned to the small courtyard, chatted with Amy Mina and the others for a few words, and asked them to go to their respective huts to rest, and then left Red Serpent alone.
"What's wrong?" Red Serpent blinked, "I was very good just now, that old gentleman didn't even look at me."
Wang Ji Xuan shook his head: "It's not because of this… When the Heavenly Dao was watching, did you feel anything?"
"No, I just saw a pair of big eyes in the sky. They looked like human eyes, but they were a little different. They were quite pretty."
"Did you hear anything?"
"No."
"Was your action as usual?"
"Yes, but when Amy Mina went to help teacher you, I didn't go to help."
Wang Ji Xuan nodded: "Then it's okay, rest first, I'll go back to rest too."
"Uh, should I go back to the subspace first?"
Red Serpent asked worriedly:
"Aren't all the righteous cultivators here?"
"It's okay for now, don't go out first," Wang Ji Xuan smiled, "It's actually okay to go out, just say you are a gatekeeper spirit beast."
Red Serpent rolled her eyes.
This is only for Daoist Wang, if it were someone else, she would at least give a polite greeting with two middle fingers.
After Red Serpent left, Daoist Wang's smile gradually faded.
The small team he brought out of Earth was actually a bit 'special'.
Amy Mina, who was born as a spirit cultivator, carries a fully liberated core circuit and has lived for 17,000 years, which exceeds the lifespan set by the Heavenly Dao for cultivators;
Not to mention Red Serpent, a 'demon cultivator' transformed by Wang Ji Xuan using a King-level crystal core. Now her strength is not weak, and she can continue to practice by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. The disadvantage is that the King-level crystal core is already out of date, and she needs to condense a real demon core.
Little Hua Ting is a reincarnated spirit cultivator who still retains some special abilities from her previous life;
Old Zheng is not here…
If all these are excluded, then the only one who attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao is himself, and…
"Peony?"
There was no echo from the personal subspace.
Wang Ji Xuan used his spiritual sense to probe towards the subspace, but found that there was an extra layer of shimmering film surrounding it.
Peony was trapped here.
"Old Shao…"
The latest ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!
【Come in.】
A sense of perception was added to Wang Ji Xuan's Dao heart.
It was almost exactly the same as when he touched the Heavenly Dao Tablet, the insights he gained in his heart, and the form in which the insights were transformed into words.
The corners of Wang Ji Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. He let the alien soul wrap the pavilion, put on a look of cultivation, and his primordial spirit drilled into the subspace.
If the Heavenly Dao wants to kill him, a single heavenly condemnation would be enough.
On the contrary, he doesn't have to worry about any calculations.
…
In the personal subspace.
The ball of colorful light was like a sphere, completely enveloping the small island in the northwest corner of the subspace where Peony often stayed.
Wang Ji Xuan was naturally worried about Peony's situation in his heart, and at the same time he was extremely curious, so he went straight to the front of the colorful sphere.
The sphere rotated slightly, and Wang Ji Xuan's primordial spirit was already inside it, seeing the two figures in front.
Peony was sitting there in a duck position, with her spirit body above her head;
And opposite Peony, at a distance of about four or five meters, a figure like a stick figure was standing there quietly.
It is a bit inaccurate to say it is a stick figure.
It has the outline of a person, but this is just for people to understand.
A little bit of insight rose in Wang Ji Xuan's heart.
It had no form, and did not truly exist, nor was it a concept like a segment of thought or a cluster of signals.
It was merely a wisp of imagery from the Heavenly Dao.
Those eyes were its gaze.
At this moment, Wang Jixuan's nascent soul seemed to perceive countless principles of the Dao, as if this stick figure contained within it countless great Daos.
Daoist Wang immediately realized that this was an unprecedented opportunity.
As long as he had a brief contact with this stick figure, his understanding of the Great Dao would advance to a new level!
"Who are you?" Wang Jixuan's nascent soul asked softly.
The stick figure seemed to tilt its head in thought, and words once again appeared in Wang Jixuan's mind.
【They call me the Heavenly Dao.】
【But I am not a living being, only possessing some imitated ability to think.】
【Are you the master of this puppet?】
"Yes," Wang Jixuan nodded lightly, looking at the seemingly stunned Peony.
Wang Jixuan said with a serious expression, "I don't know what's wrong with her..."
【She glimpsed the secrets of Heaven.】
【Or rather, in a one in a billion chance, she cracked the Heavenly Dao's encryption of the Great Dao, by studying and simulating the state of your shallow resonance with the Great Dao.】
【I have already cleared her relevant data, otherwise, it would cause turmoil in the Three Realms. Apart from that, I have not harmed her.】
Wang Jixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Peony acted rashly and made a mistake. It is also because I, as her master, did not restrain her enough. I will definitely discipline her strictly in the future. Please forgive her, Heavenly Dao."
【Mm.】
The stick figure responded.
【The reason I am staying here is to wait for you.】
"Wait for me?"
【Do not worry, you are currently paused within an instant. Our conversation need not be known by other living beings.】
"Then what do you want to ask?"
【Can this soul servant of yours continue to be nurtured, given enough... computational resource support?】
Wang Jixuan: ? ? ?
【Soon we will face a great calamity. In my deduction and prediction, the Immortal Realm will encounter great trouble, and this well-designed world will collapse.】
"Is it the Dark Sect?"
【It is not.】
【Therefore, I need a helper. This soul servant of yours has the potential to become my helper, but the computational resources she currently possesses are still too few. I need her to have a higher thinking ability.】
【Only in this way can she truly help in the future calamity.】
Wang Jixuan's nascent soul scratched its head.
"Okay, I will try my best."
【Thank you, I will give you and your subordinates more rewards for completing missions in the future. However, I cannot do more. I am located at the convergence of cause and effect. Even the slightest disturbance will trigger a huge chain reaction.】
【I cannot give you shelter either, for the reasons stated above.】
【Rather than saying I am the Heavenly Dao, it is better to say that I am a part of the Heavenly Dao, only able to play a monitoring role.】
Daoist Wang nodded seriously.
He said with a solemn expression, "For the sake of all living beings in the world, I will also do my best."
【You are good, you are devoted to the Dao.】
The stick figure nodded to Wang Jixuan, and then waved its hand gently.
The surrounding seven-colored glow immediately collapsed and instantly returned to the stick figure, disappearing together with it.
The subspace was quiet.
Wang Jixuan stood there blankly.
"Eh?"
Peony stood up beside him, scratching her head.
She felt as if she had been hit with a club, but after self-checking dozens of times, there were no other effects. No parts were missing from her body, and there were no data anomalies.
What's going on?
"Master?" Peony called out softly when she saw Wang Jixuan's nascent soul in a daze, "What's wrong? I feel like I was ambushed..."
Wang Jixuan came back to his senses and looked at Peony with a complicated expression.
He really didn't expect it;
He actually benefited so much from Peony!
Heavenly Dao's favor!
Although the Heavenly Dao said there was nothing it could do to favor him, he had established a connection with the Heavenly Dao. Would he still have a good death in the future?
Uh, that's not right, it should be that Peony wouldn't have such a good death.
Daoist Wang stared at Peony's thighs for a few moments.
Still dressed in a maid outfit, Peony blinked her eyes and showed off her black silk stockings.
"It's nothing, um, you're not allowed to wear maid outfits anymore. Change into the immortal skirts that Amina and the others are wearing."
Wang Jixuan rubbed his nose:
"Later, I'll find a place for you to create a small mechanical civilization, and make the data center huge. We need to simulate some things."
"By the way, Master! I just calculated that you comprehended the Dao... Huh? Where's my data?"
"The data disappeared, I did it, don't ask too much."
Wang Jixuan pointed to the sky and then to each other, making a shushing gesture.
The Daoist couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Peony's bewildered expression.
This opportunity is too great.
