It wasn't easy to separate this chapter, so I decided to publish it together. Two in one, 16,000 word chapters!]
All the members of Venerable White's team had some understanding of the Daoist Canon, and each of them had studied it thoroughly.
However, when this ancient expert started to explain the Daoist Canon, all the members of Venerable White's team felt that it was extremely mysterious. The ancient expert explained the contents of the Daoist Canon in just a few words, turning them into the sound of the Great Dao.
Every word of the ancient expert resonated with the power of the Great Dao of the Heavens and Earth.
Strange phenomena appeared, auspicious clouds appeared, and golden lotuses continuously bloomed in the air before disappearing …
The strength of the members of Venerable White's team was different, but each of them was intoxicated as they listened. The same content, in different people's ears, would be able to produce a comprehension that was suitable for them.
The ancient expert's speech hadn't ended yet, but Venerable Spirit Butterfly already had the urge to immediately close up and train. Just a few sentences of the ancient expert's speech had allowed him to faintly grasp the secrets of the Eighth Stage Xuansheng. Venerable Spirit Butterfly had already profited greatly from the few sentences of the Great Dao he had heard during this adventure in the ancient ruins.
Venerable White had also benefited greatly. He was currently closing his eyes and pondering. The spiritual energy in Senior White's body was continuously compressing … it was undergoing a transformation.
Similarly, Jouko Hagi, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, True Monarch Fallout, Cave Lord Snow Wolf, Great Master Profound Principle, and True Monarch White Crane were either lost in thought or intoxicated.
After safely leaving the ancient ruins, they only needed to close up and train. It wouldn't be a dream for them to break through a small realm or even a large realm.
The ancient expert's speech was truly a great opportunity that could only be encountered by chance and not sought after!
Not to mention, this ancient expert wasn't an ordinary Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender, but an 'Immortal'.
After reaching the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm, the Wielder of the Will of the Heavens had a master. If those geniuses with the Will of the Heavens wanted to advance further, they would have to find their own path and become an 'Immortal'.
In the Primordial Era, every single one of the Chosen Ones who had stepped out of their own 'Dao' shone brilliantly in their own time.
The Emperor Of Heaven, who had once built the Ancient Heavenly City, had used the Ancient Heavenly City as the foundation to build his enormous Dao of Immortality. Not only was his Immortality Path able to grant him immortality, but it was also able to grant immortality to the members of the Ancient Heavenly Court. As long as the Heavenly Courts were not destroyed, the immortals in the Heavenly Courts could obtain longevity and come into contact with the mysteries of longevity in advance.
There was also that Ancient Puppeteer of Jet-Black Sect. He had taken an unconventional path, transforming his own body into that of a puppet and creating a path of immortality that belonged solely to him.
This ancient powerhouse who was giving a speech was also an 'Immortal'. However, what was his' Dao '?
While the members of Venerable White's team were deep in thought, the ancient expert gradually stopped his lecture — the first chapter of the Daoist Canon had ended!
Then, the Moonlight Wheel above the Ancient Era's head grew brighter and brighter.
The white jade lotus platform he was sitting on turned into stardust and disappeared.
Then, a huge lotus flower 'grew' out of his body, wrapping him in layers.
Venerable White instantly understood what was going on, and said, "This Immortal is deducing his own Dao!"
The Immortal was displaying the principles of his Dao of Immortality to everyone present.
While this Immortal was deducing his Dao, everyone present sensed some incomplete laws of nature. It was a feeling of 'giving birth to new life in the midst of death'. Or was it the feeling of a withered tree coming back to life?
A new life was being born in the body of this ancient powerhouse, and it was about to be born. That new life was both his child and himself!
Yes, it was him.
Just as the lotus flower grew out of the body of this ancient powerhouse, a slender figure faintly appeared inside the lotus flower. It was the figure of a woman.
Everyone had an epiphany in their hearts — this might be the 'Dao' that the 'ancient great beings' had walked out of their own. The Dao of giving birth to new life.
Just like giving birth to a child, a new self would be born from one's own body.
After giving birth to the new self, the new self would inherit everything from the old body. This included knowledge, soul, strength, comprehension, and everything else!
Moreover, every new birth would make this' Almighty Primordial 'even more powerful.
It was a very special path to immortality.
…
…
However, at this time, Venerable White and the others were somewhat curious. What was this ancient powerhouse trying to express by leaving behind this video?
Earlier, she was explaining the Daoist Canon. Who was she explaining the Daoist Canon to?
However, the members of Venerable White's team didn't have time to think about this at this time. Everyone was staring at the process of the ancient powerhouse giving birth to a new life without blinking. This was the Immortal deducing his own Dao. It was a hundred times, or even a thousand times more powerful than when he was giving a speech.
If they could comprehend even a little bit of it, it would be very useful.
Before their eyes, the lotus flower next to the ancient powerhouse opened, revealing a jade-like body inside. This body was so perfect that it couldn't be described with words. There wasn't the slightest flaw!
This was her new life!
At this time, her original body had already fused with the huge lotus flower, disappearing without a trace.
The new body stood up from the lotus flower, and the lotus leaves turned into a daoist robe that draped over her body.
The lotus seeds turned into a daoist crown.
The lotus platform shrunk and turned into a white jade lotus once again, floating under her feet and supporting her body.
"Today, I successfully gave birth to myself once again. This time, I tried to 'give birth' to myself a few days ahead of schedule. It was very successful, and the result was even better than I imagined, "the new Immortal said to the void with a smile on her face.
Her voice carried a very strong local accent, but just like when she gave a speech, there was a kind of power in the world that would automatically 'translate' her words, allowing everyone who heard her to naturally understand the meaning behind her words.
After seeing the scene before their eyes, many people in Venerable White's team felt a sense of 'familiarity'. This Immortal who gave birth to herself was taking a selfie?
There was no mistake, she was really taking a selfie. She was talking to the void, but from the looks of it, it was as though she was talking to a large audience.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as a 'live broadcast network'. Was this ancient powerhouse recording a video of herself?
Such being the case, it made sense that she was able to record the entire process of her speech. It was very likely that she had taken a selfie herself and left it behind.
"My current condition is very good … perhaps the current me will be able to deal with the upcoming battle?" the Immortal said to the 'camera' with a smile.
Although she was smiling, one could see from the video that she, an Immortal, didn't seem to have any confidence in the upcoming battle.
"I hid from him for more than 300 years, but in the end, he still found me. He's really a stubborn man … Ah, although I don't dislike stubborn men … However, if he keeps chasing after me, I'll feel very vexed, "she continued.
"Anyway, let's not talk about this anymore … in short, before I die, I'll record everything. After all, my job is to record everything before my eyes, to record the 'real' history. If one day, I'm really going to die, I'll definitely record everything. After all, this is a part of history. "The Immortal patted her daoist robe and fixed her somewhat crooked daoist crown.
The video became silent.
After thirty breaths of time, but even more time had passed in the video. The originally bright video started to dim down.
"It's here," the female Immortal said softly.
In front of her, space was torn apart by a pair of big black hands.
This pair of big hands was covered in black demonic qi. One could faintly see a pair of blood-red eyes within the demonic qi.
"Found you, Immortal Cheng Lin." The voice of the big black hands was filled with endless anger.
"Hmm, it's me," the Immortal called Cheng Lin replied softly. Her tone was calm, without any trace of nervousness.
"Answer me, Immortal Cheng Lin, why did you leak the information about the Heavenly Court? Why did you betray us? " The voice of the owner of the big black hands was filled with anger. He was like a volcano waiting to erupt, ready to erupt at any time.
"So that's how it was. You knew that I leaked the information about the Heavenly Court, and that's why you chased after me. I was very discreet, hehe. "Immortal Cheng Lin faintly smiled, looking very charming.
The owner of the big black hands squeezed out of space, and said, "Why are you still so calm? It's precisely because you leaked the information that the Heavenly Court was destroyed overnight … you unforgivable traitor!"
"Of course, I knew that the Heavenly Court would be destroyed because of this. That's why I leaked the information," Immortal Cheng Lin said with a smile.
Just as she was speaking, the owner of the big black hands teleported next to her and grabbed her throat with his thick arms.
There was also a moonlight disc on the head of the owner of the big black hands. The light disc was filled with the laws of the Great Dao of Destruction and Death. This person was also an Immortal.
His huge body hung Cheng Lin in the air by her neck. Immortal Cheng Lin didn't resist.
The owner of the big black hands clenched his teeth, and said, "Tell me why you betrayed us! Tell me!" His voice was like that of a wild beast.
"This is a secret!" Immortal Cheng Lin smiled sweetly, and winked at the owner of the big black hands. "Moreover, the Heavenly Court was already destroyed. Is there any point in telling you the reason? Could it be that you can ease the pain in your heart a little because of the 'reason of betrayal' that I mentioned? "
"You damned bastard!" The owner of the big black hands had a nervous breakdown. He grabbed Immortal Cheng Lin's throat with one hand and grabbed her head with the other, squeezing it with all his strength.
Just like crushing a fragile object, Immortal Cheng Lin's head was crushed just like that.
During the whole process, Immortal Cheng Lin didn't resist in the slightest.
Earlier, she had said that she would 'face' the upcoming battle. But now that she was facing the owner of the big black hands, she didn't resist at all. She was also an Immortal, an existence that surpassed the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm. Therefore, it was impossible for her to be completely powerless.
After Immortal Cheng Lin's head was crushed, the 'video' before their eyes came to an end.
Everything returned to normal.
…
…
Cave Lord Snow Wolf didn't dare to believe it. "An Immortal died just like that?" An existence that surpassed the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm and stood at the peak of the True Immortal World died just like that? Was this a movie?
Venerable Spirit Butterfly said indifferently, "Not necessarily. It's just a crushed head … even I have several methods to recover from it. Let alone an Immortal. "
"This matter is related to the destruction of the ancient Heavenly Court. The ancient Heavenly Court was reduced to ashes overnight, and from the looks of the video before our eyes, this Immortal Cheng Lin played a very dishonorable role. " True Monarch Fallout's eyes slightly sank. He had an ancestor in his family that might know some information about the ancient Heavenly Court.
His ancestor was the fifth master of the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, Fifth Cultivator of True Virtue. Septuagint's lineage was passed down from generation to generation. The first or second cultivator of True Virtue must have experienced the destruction of the ancient Heavenly Court, and the relevant information would have been passed down to the next generation.
True Monarch White Crane said, "What I'm more concerned about is that Immortal with black hands and eyes. Who is he? Is he the 'Emperor Of Heaven'? "
Venerable White shook his head and said, "He isn't the Emperor Of Heaven. In the past, the Emperor Of Heaven was one of the most powerful Immortals. He established the Heavenly Court together with several fellow daoists whose innate talent wasn't inferior to that of the Emperor Of Heaven. Later on, it was said that several of the companions of the Emperor Of Heaven found their own path and became Immortals. The owner of those black hands should be one of those Immortals. Moreover, that Immortal Cheng Lin might also be one of the companions of the Emperor Of Heaven. "
On the side, Great Master Profound Principle joined his palms together and sighed.
Buddhists were very particular about karma.
Every action of a cultivator could be a 'cause' and bring about a different 'effect'.
Without a doubt, they had gotten involved in the karma of the ancient Heavenly City because of this matter.
"The matter of the ancient Heavenly City is too far away for us. You don't need to think too much about it. Just relax and cultivate step by step. If you think too much, it's easy to develop inner demons, "Venerable Spirit Butterfly said with a smile at this time.
Venerable White nodded and said, "Let's take a break first. Afterward, we'll wait for the 'video' before replaying. Just now, Immortal Cheng Lin explained the contents of the Daoist Canon as well as other scriptures. After the video is replayed, we'll watch it again. "
The members of the team nodded one after another. Before Venerable White activated the 'illusory reality', they had missed a lot of content. It would be great if they could watch it again.
Venerable Spirit Butterfly and the others sat down inside Venerable White's' illusory reality '. While waiting for the video to be replayed, they thought about what they had learned from Immortal Cheng Lin's' dao lecture '.
Venerable White silently looked at the distant charred land.
Immortal Cheng Lin … the black-armed Immortal with eyes all over her body … the Emperor Of Heaven who went missing in the explosion of the Heavenly City.
"I feel that this is rather interesting," Venerable White said softly.
In addition, the video of the 'Immortal's lecture' was very good. I'll take note of this place first. When the time comes, if the other fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group are interested, I can bring them here to listen to the lecture and comprehend it.
At that time, I'll have another 'entrance fee'. It's just like how Great Master Profound Principle used the 'Jingang Token' to collect entrance fees after discovering the 'Heart Tempering Ancient Well' in the 'Jingang Immortal Cave'.
Since Venerable White was in possession of the ancient ruins, he could also collect entrance fees. This was the rule of the Nine Provinces Number One Group. You have to pay, and you have to reap!
However, if I want to bring people here to comprehend the lecture, Venerable White will have to accompany my fellow daoists and activate the 'illusory reality'. It seems that it's going to be a bit difficult to earn this money …
After thinking up to this point, Venerable White turned his head around and saw 'Song Shuhang, Little Friend No.2' sitting in front of him.
Oh, right. Shuhang Little Friend is still here. Since his' Ten Thousand Mile Flying Escape Technique 'Runes has been activated, does that mean he has returned to Earth? If I have time, I'll bring him to the ancient ruins as a reward after I finish shooting the 'movie'.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the 'movie' has to be filmed to his satisfaction.
Venerable White thought to himself.
* * *
At the entrance of the Clearwater Pavilion.
The Sobbing Old Man was guarding the entrance with a serious expression on his face. He wouldn't get up until the entrance of the Clearwater Pavilion was open!
Speaking of which, he seemed to have seen something fly out of the Clearwater Pavilion yesterday. If he wasn't mistaken, the thing that flew out was Reiki.
However, the Sobbing Old Man didn't chase after Reiki. For him, obtaining the complete Tome of Never-Ending Tears was the most important thing right now. Reiki and whatnot weren't very attractive to him right now.
The Sobbing Old Man chose to continue guarding the entrance.
He wanted to use his strong will to move the people of the Clearwater Pavilion. If necessary, he could become a disciple of the Clearwater Pavilion. After all, he was just a loose cultivator!
Whether it's ten days, one month, one year, or even ten years, I'll wait until the end! The Sobbing Old Man thought to himself. He didn't believe that the people of the Clearwater Pavilion wouldn't leave for ten years!
"Sob, sob, sob ~ even if I have to die, I want to die in front of the Clearwater Pavilion! Sob, sob, sob ~ feel my will!" the Sobbing Old Man said while crying.
…
…
Clearwater Pavilion, Time City.
"Sob, sob, sob, sob ~ when I read this book with a benevolent heart, I suddenly felt that this senior monk was very powerful. Sob, sob, sob ~ so much pain, but he withstood it with his strong will. Especially the part where he was poisoned. In the end, the senior monk overcame the poison with his strong will. I'm really moved. Sob, sob, sob ~ "Sister Ye was crying while reading the book. Her tears kept falling down.
Song Shuhang comforted her gently while wiping away her tears. Senior Sister, you're reading this book with a benevolent heart, but you're not asking yourself to give up your 'intelligence' just to read this book!
The part where the senior monk overcame the poison with his willpower was simply a fantasy. If the senior monk had a strong willpower, how could the poison that almost took his life be cured without any medicine?
If willpower was so scary, what was the point of having doctors?
But then again … Sister Ye was crying like this. Wasn't a benevolent heart enough?
This was a benevolent heart and a compassionate heart.
While pondering, Senior Martial Sister Ye flipped through the 'Diary of the Ascetic Eminent Monk' page by page until she reached the end.
"Sob, sob, sob, sob, so touching. In the end, he died … even his bones rotted away in the soil. This kind of romantic method is indeed the best ending for a senior monk. Sob, sob, sob. "Sister Ye was crying very sadly.
Song Shuhang continued to gently wipe away Sister Ye's tears. Speaking of which, how is' even his bones rotted away in the soil 'romantic?! Moreover, didn't the senior monk have a strong willpower? If he could even overcome the poison, then he should have overcome this strange 'death' as well! It's too strange for him to suddenly die! ]
At the same time, Song Shuhang understood that Sister Ye wasn't just acting like this because of her 'benevolent heart'. She was definitely feeling sad again because of the 《Tome of Never-Ending Tears》.
Therefore, she was very sensitive at this time. Even the slightest bit of emotion could make her tear up, causing her to cry even more.
That said, Senior Sister Ye Si was really interesting in this state.
If her tear threshold … could increase a bit, that would be even better.
"Ye Si, did you comprehend anything?" Song Shuhang asked gently. According to the appraisal technique, if one read the 《Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk》 with a benevolent heart, they would gain something unexpected.
Senior Martial Sister Ye, you've already finished reading this diary. Have you learned anything?
Fairy Ye Si rubbed her eyes and sobbed from time to time.
Then, she recalled something for a while.
"I felt like I had a 'flash of inspiration' at the end," Senior Sister Ye Si said softly.
Song Shuhang's eyes immediately lit up. "That's it! That flash of inspiration should be the trick to the 'soul ferrying technique'!"
Sister Ye lowered her head in embarrassment. "But later on, because I couldn't hide the sadness in my heart, I burst into tears. I didn't grasp that flash of inspiration. "
Song Shuhang: "…"
"But it doesn't matter, we can just read it again! We'll definitely succeed this time. " Sister Ye said while sobbing. She had already memorized the entire contents of the diary after reading it once. However, she felt that it would be even more effective if she read it again.
"Alright, that's the only thing we can do." Song Shuhang flipped back to the 《Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk》.
Benevolent heart, benevolent heart!
"Shuhang, can you read this 《Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk》 to me?" Sister Ye suddenly said.
Song Shuhang: "?"
Sister Ye said softly, "I was crying too hard just now, so my eyes are a little red. So, can you read it to me? I want to hear your voice when you read this book. "
Although she could use healing techniques to heal her eyes, Sister Ye felt that this was a way to improve her relationship with Shuhang.
"… Alright." Song Shuhang nodded.
Thus, he flipped open the 《Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk》 and began to read.
Benevolent heart, benevolent heart!
Song Shuhang's voice slowly sounded in the library space. He unhurriedly read the contents of the diary.
The plot of the diary reverberated in his ears.
The senior monk was bald, barefoot, and wearing thin linen clothes.
The senior monk was thin, but his eyes were bright and full of energy. He walked barefoot in a world of ice and snow, and didn't eat or drink for dozens of days.
The senior monk was hungry and cold.
Sister Ye hugged her knees and sat with her eyes closed, listening to him read aloud.
Song Shuhang was still reading aloud, and his voice was neither slow nor slow.
Suddenly, Shuhang, who was in the middle of reading aloud, shivered.
