In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

#465 - Fear of Heaven

When Daoist Wang's vision returned, he found himself in the sky above the Moon God Palace.

The white bone seemed unmoved, but the two were already standing in front of enormous, constantly rotating stellar vortices.

Wang Jixuan looked up at everything before him, and a multitude of insights suddenly welled up in his heart, as if a long river of time was passing before him, with figure after figure leaping out from within.

These figures tried to break free from the shackles of time, but vanished in an instant, becoming part of the river.

'We are all components of time,' Wang Jixuan murmured in his heart.

Of course, this white bone senior was not bringing him here to enjoy the scenery or seek enlightenment.

The white bone clearly activated an array, and was now guiding a wisp of Wang Jixuan's primordial spirit, using the array to deduce and calculate.

Seeing Wang Jixuan recover from his trance and regain his senses, the white bone secretly nodded, expressing approval of Wang Jixuan's comprehension and talent, and then began to fully activate the array.

A strand of profound and obscure Dao rhythm slowly rippled out.

Wang Jixuan's vision blurred slightly, and he suddenly saw the end of that long river.

It was a chaos.

Weak points of light began to appear in the chaos, and the points of light, like fireflies, passed through Wang Jixuan's primordial spirit.

Scenes, some blurry, some normal, constantly appeared in Wang Jixuan's heart.

He saw himself.

He looked many years older, sitting quietly in front of a metal monument, heading slowly towards the eternally silent space of the universe, the monument inscribed with an epitaph related to Ling Tong.

However, this was only the situation within one point of light;

In different points of light, he was doing different things in different guises.

For example, he had broken up with Amina, who was wearing a celestial dress, Amina's eyes were full of despair, and she slashed her neck with a sword, and further away there seemed to be countless enemies…

'Commander, we cannot break through the barrier set by the Grand Luo Golden Immortal.'

'Brother Wang, be careful, after you leave, we don't know if we will ever meet again. I will take good care of things on Earth.'

'Wang Jixuan, you have caused us so much suffering!'

The scenes became increasingly chaotic.

Some terrifying scenes even appeared.

The sect in his memory seemed to reappear, but most of the people inside had become skeletons…

Finally, Wang Jixuan's primordial spirit could not bear it, he groaned, and his body became somewhat illusory.

"Three lifetimes of cultivation, the accumulated fruit is indeed abundant."

The white bone's voice rang out:

"If it were an ordinary Mahayana master, they would hardly be able to withstand it for even a few moments."

"Don't think too much, these are just possible future scenarios, and each scenario is changing at every moment, at most you can only see a fleeting moment."

"I'll help you find out what the Heavenly Dao is truly wary of about you."

"Logically speaking, the possibility of finding this scene is very small, but… since the Heavenly Dao has locked onto you, it must have left traces on the long river of time… Let me see…"

The white bone gradually focused.

Having been silent for millions of years, he now felt curiosity and a desire to win.

Opportunities to fight the Heavenly Dao were not many;

To have such an opportunity after death was truly wonderful.

Wang Jixuan didn't know how long had passed.

Perhaps three or four hours, or perhaps these few hours were stretched hundreds of times, Wang Jixuan waited with a trace of torment, and suddenly, the starlight above his head, behind his back, and under his feet blazed brightly.

"How could it be!" the white bone exclaimed.

Wang Jixuan didn't understand, the surrounding stars suddenly dissipated, the white bone's figure fell from the stars, and golden lotuses constantly emerged around him, these golden lotuses seemed to be suffering from some inexplicable force, constantly collapsing.

Wang Jixuan subconsciously closed his eyes, and a feeling of falling spread throughout his body.

When he regained his composure slightly, his primordial spirit was wrapped in a huge sense of weakness, but this weakness was rapidly receding.

Daoist Wang opened his eyes, his primordial spirit regained its perception of the outside world, and he was stunned again.

The white bone in front of him had grown flesh and blood.

This was an old man with wrinkles all over his skin, like cracks on porcelain, that could collapse at any moment.

The old man had a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and a pair of deep eyes stared deeply at Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan asked, "Senior?"

"Yes, it's me," the old man said in a low voice, "I used a trace of power just now, and couldn't suppress it, so I grew a physical body."

"Senior is not dead?"

"Dead," the old man said indifferently, "It's just that two million years after death, a wisp of consciousness was born from the corpse, and the mark I entrusted in the Great Dao of Time imprinted my memory, and I was reborn after death, but instead took the most crucial step on the Dao realm… However, my heart is already dead, my relatives, friends, and confidantes are all here, so I will stay here with them."

Wang Jixuan nodded lightly and asked, "Senior, what did you see?"

"I saw it."

The old man's eyes were still deep, but there was a bit more emotion in the depths:

"You have a spirit servant named Mudan, right?"

"Yes."

"Kill her."

"Huh?" Wang Jixuan was a little puzzled.

"Kill her, and your crisis will be resolved," the old man said in a deep voice, "In these countless possibilities, there is one possibility that you will become extraordinary with Mudan's creation, and become an existence above the Grand Luo, which is not allowed by the Heavenly Dao."

"I will become extraordinary with Mudan, and my creation will be extraordinary?"

"Yes, the crux is still on you, the person with extraordinary creation is you."

The old man said indifferently:

"However, that is a long, long time later, and it is only one of the billions of possibilities that may appear in the future."

"This shows that you and your spirit servant named Mudan have this potential when combined."

"I can see in the long river of time that you are facing away from the stars, destroying all enemies, but that is only a moment, don't ask me how to do it, I can't answer."

Wang Jixuan: …

Anyway, since Mudan has already been mentioned, there is nothing to hide.

Wang Jixuan got up and made a Daoist salute to the old man, and said solemnly: "Senior, this junior had something to hide before, please forgive me."

The old man shook his head with a smile: "Human nature, if you want to say it, you can let me help you refer to it."

"Okay."

Wang Jixuan briefly explained Mudan's special nature and the Heavenly Dao's gaze that day.

The old man nodded slowly and said solemnly: "The Heavenly Dao didn't go to find Mudan, that time, the Heavenly Dao should have gone to find you, but was afraid of causing your suspicion, so that you would focus your attention on Mudan."

"Why?"

"Because in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, or in the eyes of cultivators of my level, Mudan and you are one, Mudan is a part of you, similar to the relationship between your natal magic weapon and your primordial spirit."

The old man continued to explain:

"If you want to fight for this possibility, I can point you to a path to find a strong person to become a teacher, so as to protect yourself."

"The practice of cultivators is to go against the sky, and there are still many great powers and great supernatural powers in this world who specialize in going against the sky."

"That's not necessary."

Wang Jixuan smiled shyly and cupped his hands:

"Senior has given me guidance, and has already helped me a lot."

"I came here, in fact, also to find a path to fight against the Heavenly Dao, the Dark Sect and the Heavenly Net, are like the left and right hands of the Heavenly Dao, the left hand hits the right hand, isn't that…"

Wang Jixuan made a gesture of swatting a mosquito.

The old man smiled knowingly: "You are extremely smart, in essence it is indeed like this."

"So, senior, do you have any leads in this regard?"

Wang Jixuan asked seriously:

"I have thought about it carefully, wanting to rely on myself to fight against an organization like the Dark Sect is no different from a fool's dream."

"One of the purposes of my coming to find senior this time is to ask, how did the Moon God Palace rise back then, how should I plan to pull up a force, protect my friends, and also protect myself."

The old man leaned back slightly.

"You want to imitate our Moon God Palace?"

"That's right!"

"Then do you know, why did the Moon God Palace fall?"

"Senior once said that it was because the enemy Grand Luo Golden Immortal was too cunning, unable to do anything to senior, but attacked senior's relatives and friends."

"That's right, no matter how big or strong the force is, in the final analysis, it depends on how strong the top person is."

The old man said slowly:

"Each territory in the Immortal Realm has its owner, if you want your force to rise, you have to fight, compete, and snatch!"

"The path of the Moon God Palace is not necessarily the final destination for forces that try to break the stubbornness."

Daoist Wang smiled bitterly: "That's still much better than my current situation of being passive everywhere, I don't want to just be beaten and not fight back."

The old man pondered for a few seconds.

A wisp of beard grew on his chin, so he began to constantly stroke his beard.

Wang Jixuan waited quietly.

The old man said: "Alright, my Moon God Palace can be considered to have a little foundation, it's okay to help you… You can go, come here in three years, just pass my three tests, how about giving you this Dao inheritance?"

Wang Jixuan was naturally overjoyed when he heard this.

He got up and thanked him solemnly.

All the purposes of this trip have been achieved, and there are additional parts that exceed expectations.

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go, there is a Heavenly Immortal waiting for you outside for a long time, this may be another opportunity for you."

Outside?

Before Wang Jixuan could ask more questions, the old man's waving action had already shot out a beam of light, and Wang Jixuan disappeared with a wave.

After Wang Jixuan left, the old man's figure gradually withered, and his flesh and blood turned into mud and fell in front of the hall.

He returned to his white bone appearance again, walked back to his corner and stayed with the skeletons in the hall.

"Fellow Daoists, this kid is quite interesting."

Everywhere was quiet and silent.

This place was empty and lonely.

The giant laurel tree outside the Moon God Palace shook gently, as if it was already impatiently waiting for the arrival of the three-year agreement.

…

‘Through the peony, you might be able to…’

Through the peony?

Wang Jixuan kept repeating this sentence in his heart. The light and shadows in front of him flowed, and his nascent soul had already flown out of the Stone of the Past and appeared in…

This is in Wu Man's arms?

Just as Daoist Wang was about to have Wu Man take the Stone of the Past to find his body, his nascent soul suddenly became like a cat whose fur had stood on end, turning its head to glare at the middle-aged scholar in front of Wu Man, who was smiling and looking over.

This scholar was dressed in a white brocade robe with auspicious clouds and cranes embroidered on the front. Two or three pieces of beautiful jade hung from the belt around his waist, and he gently waved a folding fan in his hand, exuding an undeniable confidence.

The middle-aged scholar cupped his hands and said, “Fellow Daoist Wang Zheng, would you be willing to come out and have a chat? This humble Daoist has no malicious intentions.”

Wang Jixuan: …

You say you have no malicious intentions, and that's supposed to be enough?

However, the senior from the Moon Goddess Palace seemed to say that this guy is a Celestial Immortal.

Wasn't it said that those who descended from the Immortal Realm would be restrained by the Heavenly Dao, only allowing their cultivation to approach the Great Vehicle stage?

Wang Jixuan wasn't very clear about the intricacies of this, but he understood one thing.

The person in front of him was a genuine immortal;

And one of the small experts in the Immortal Realm.

Then there's no point in hiding, just show yourself.

So, Wang Jixuan's nascent soul revealed its tracks and bowed to the middle-aged scholar, “Greetings, Senior.”

“Just call me Fellow Daoist,” the middle-aged scholar said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Wang Zheng, there's no need to worry. This humble Daoist is not a follower of the Dark Sect, nor a member of the Heavenly Net, but I am quite familiar with both the Heavenly Net and the Dark Sect. Today, I have taken the liberty of visiting just to meet Fellow Daoist Wang Zheng and to ask Fellow Daoist a question.”

Wang Jixuan and Wu Man were both completely bewildered.

“Feel free to ask, Fellow Daoist.”

“The one who destroyed the Dark Sect, the Immortal-Banned Wang Zheng… Does Fellow Daoist know the inside story of this matter?”

“I don't know the inside story,” Wang Jixuan said with a wry smile, “This is truly an undeserved disaster. I was originally just a Heavenly Net member who was muddling through life, and then I was targeted by the Heavenly Dao.”

“Hahaha!”

The middle-aged scholar laughed a few times, then turned his head and looked around, “This isn't the place to talk. Is there good wine? Is there delicious food? This humble Daoist will have a good chat with you, and by the way, wait for the other fellow Daoists.”

Wang Jixuan asked, “What is your intention?”

“To get to know you.”

The middle-aged scholar said:

“We, this small group of people, are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, and we don't like the damn Heavenly Dao either.

“However, we can't easily get involved in karma. If the Heavenly Dao finds an opportunity, we will be calculated to death.

“None of us have ever seen a cultivator who has been specifically targeted by the Heavenly Dao, and still a small cultivator who hasn't even become an immortal. So everyone is extremely curious and wants to see what you have that is extraordinary.”

This middle-aged scholar kept raising his eyebrows:

“You go find your body first.

“Also, let me remind you, there is a group of Dark Sect followers on their way, and they will arrive here in three to five days.

“You can notify your relatives and friends to escape first. If you want to come with us later, then I will be your recommender.”

Wang Jixuan smiled awkwardly, turned his head to look at Wu Man, and immediately began to make evacuation arrangements and prepare for battle.

“Fellow Daoist, this way please.”

Wang Jixuan calmed down and raised his hand to invite the middle-aged scholar, his nascent soul wrapped the Stone of the Past and turned into a ray of rainbow light, disappearing without a trace.

The middle-aged scholar pondered slightly.

“That stone seems to be a treasure.”

Wu Man, who was beside him, immediately tensed up.

However, the middle-aged scholar didn't say anything more. He strolled over with his hands behind his back and crushed the jade talisman in his hand.

Calling friends and inviting companions.
