Would there be a bright moon tonight?
Would there be flowers blooming this time?
Jiang Wang didn't know the answer.
However, he was willing to wait with Master Guan Yan.
If the answer wasn't what they wanted, then he and Master Guan Yan would …
Change the answer.
"The Dragon God is fighting with this world's will and fighting with me, pretending that we're locked in a stalemate. On the other hand, he's secretly colluding with the stars of Alioth. He plans to control Alioth before erasing me. "
Guan Yan said, "He's about to succeed. The opportunity we're waiting for is at the juncture of his success."
Jiang Wang gripped his sword. The scabbard made of Divine Dragon Wood had been nourished by Sauvignon Yearning for a long time, and it had also been soaked in its spirituality for a long time. Now, its spirituality was deeply hidden.
It was hard to imagine that it had the same origin as the giant rotten wood in front of him.
Even if it was a precious material like the Divine Dragon Wood, due to different circumstances, there would be a drastic difference in its quality.
"I have confidence in Senior," he said.
"I don't have that much confidence," Guan Yan said softly. "But since I've already made my choice, then I'll do everything I can."
He would have no regrets if he did his best, and he would have no regrets if he did his best.
This was Jiang Wang's philosophy of life.
Thus, it wasn't unreasonable to say that he and Guan Yan hit it off the first time they met.
"Senior, are you still fighting with him in the world's origin?" Jiang Wang asked.
"It never stopped."
Guan Yan casually explained the situation to Jiang Wang. "Just now, he erased a portion of the Forest Ocean Origin World's will in the world's origin, but at the same time, I also erased a portion of his' divine source '."
He explained to Jiang Wang very naturally. "The divine source is the foundation for him to become a god in the Forest Ocean Origin World. You can't understand more complicated things right now, but you can simply understand it as the accumulation of the power of faith."
Jiang Wang enjoyed this process of seeking knowledge, just like every time he interacted with Guan Yan in Starmoon Plain. He stepped onto the path of cultivation heavily and confusedly. He stumbled along the way, but there were also many hands that pulled him forward.
"The more his' divine source 'is erased, the more Senior can control the Forest Ocean Origin World's Deity Position."
"That's true. However, neither he nor I actually cultivate the Divine Dao. We only temporarily chose this path in order to seize control of the Forest Ocean Origin Realm, and we've only begun to explore our understanding of divine authority in the past few hundred years … This is why I actually have many problems with my Godhood, and he also has many flaws in his Divine Dao, which is why I was able to seize the Divine Hilt. "Guan Yan added," I cultivate the Dao of the True Spirit, so he should be a legitimate member of the Dragon Clan. "
These words made Jiang Wang feel greatly astonished.
The first thing that surprised him was that the Dragon God and Master Guan Yan were not orthodox Shinto cultivators. Moreover, it was clear that Master Guan Yan was very confident in his Dao of True Spirit. He was relying on it for his entire life. Otherwise, he wouldn't have emphasized it so much after obtaining the True God hilt of the Forest Ocean Origin World.
Secondly, he was amazed by Master Guan Yan's perception.
Although Master Guanyan had said that he and the Dragon God had only just begun to explore the divine path. But that Dragon God had clearly explored the divine way way before Master Guan Yan, who knew how many years ahead of him. He had laid out his plans several hundred years ahead of Master Guan Yan, yet Master Guan Yan had found a flaw in his divine way...
This level of talent was simply terrifying.
Furthermore …
"A legitimate member of the Dragon Clan?" Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask, "A Dragon Clan from the Modern Realm? A Dragon Clan from the Forest Ocean? "
"I don't know much about his background yet. He's extremely cautious." Guan Yan shook his head. "All I can say for now is that he's a Dragon Clan member."
The Dragon Clan had been extinct since the Middle Ages in the Modern Realm. They had been chased away from the Forest Ocean.
Of course, Jiang Wang already knew that there were still dragons in the river. However, they were just like mascots that didn't have much of a presence. The Dragon Clan that could truly bring fear were all in the Forest Ocean.
What was the background of this Dragon Clan member of the Forest Ocean Origin World?
He had explored the Divine Dao, become a Dragon God, and even had the ambition to gaze upon the stars of the universe …
"The universe is truly boundless. It gives me an endless desire to explore!" Jiang Wang sighed. "Unfortunately, there's a limit to life."
"Shen Lin has a lifespan of five hundred years, Dong Zhen has a lifespan of a thousand years … First break through the short limit, then break through the far limit." Guan Yan didn't speak of any impassioned principles. Instead, he reminded Jiang Wang to be down-to-earth. "When you reach the end, you might be able to see even further scenery."
"I've learned my lesson," Jiang Wang said seriously.
"Actually, I know. Even though the universe is vast, you won't get lost. "Guan Yan chuckled." The problem with people is that they like to be teachers. I can't avoid this either. "
"Please don't say that." Jiang Wang was very serious. "Senior is only saying this because he cares about me … To be honest, not many people would do this to me."
Guan Yan's gaze was gentle. "Actually, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for allowing me to disappear from the Modern Realm for five hundred years, and the first person I saw was you. You didn't ruin my beautiful memories of my hometown. You know, people tend to beautify the past in their memories, and your qualities and spirit have satisfied all of my unrealistic memories. I'm beginning to feel that my hometown is filled with light, and that young people are filled with hope … Please continue to move forward. No matter what the outcome is this time. I really want to know. Where will you go? "
He spoke with such sincerity, which caused Jiang Wang to feel somewhat embarrassed.
It wasn't that this number one Inner Palace disciple in history hadn't been praised before, and he had heard all sorts of sappy flattery before.
However, the person in front of him was different.
This was a senior that he acknowledged and even revered. This was the kind of person that he had once wanted to become, but was unable to become.
"I hope that you can watch me go," Jiang Wang finally said.
"I'll work hard as well," Guan Yan said seriously.
He was so serious that it was a bit cute.
Alioth Star was still hanging high in the sky, not very bright, but not very dark either.
The Forest Sea gently rippled in the wind, and no one knew where it ended.
"How long will we have to wait?" Jiang Wang asked.
"We're not waiting for time, but for an opportunity. I used five hundred years to change the Forest Sea Origin Realm. The Dragon God also used five hundred years to understand me … but he didn't truly understand me, "Guan Yan said calmly.
"When he takes over Alioth Star, it will be time for me to reveal all of the things that I've accumulated over the past five hundred and thirty-seven years."
This was the calmness of someone who had done all of their hard work and could calmly face any outcome.
A total of five hundred and thirty-seven years!
"What do I need to do at that time?" Jiang Wang asked.
Guan Yan said seriously, "When he and I engage in our final battle, he will definitely make Yan Xiao go crazy and wreak havoc in this realm. He can distract me, transmit his power through the skull-eating beast, and even counter the will of this realm … … He will definitely make this choice, which is why I need you to go in and kill Yan Xiao when the time is right. "
The target of this trip was still Yan Xiao!
As a being born in the Forest Sea Origin Realm, killing Yan Xiao would only make him stronger, and he would not be able to resist the evildoers of this realm. This was why Guan Yan had urgently sent a voice transmission to the Starmoon Plains and asked Jiang Wang to go to the Forest Sea Origin Realm to help.
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then said, "If Yan Xiao is only as strong as he was last time, then I should be able to do something else."
With his current strength, he was more than ten times stronger than before.
What he had only been able to do when he fought four against one was now within his grasp.
Since he had already come to the Forest Sea Origin Realm, he hoped that he could do his best to help Master Guan Yan share more of the pressure. He did not want to just make do within a safe range.
He wanted to help Master Guan Yan, and he was not just doing it half-heartedly.
"Because this is a revived Yan Xiao, it hasn't had much time to grow. Even if it isn't in a weakened state right now, it won't be much stronger than the one you encountered last time … … it won't be stronger than the limit of the Inner Palace. "
Guan Yan said, "The only problem is that it will continuously absorb the Dragon God's power to revive itself. This is the connection between it and a god, and even the Dragon God himself cannot cut it off. However, its revival after being killed by you is different from its revival after being killed by the beings of the Forest Sea Origin Realm. The former will consume the Dragon God's power, but the latter will not. "
In a sense, Jiang Wang and the others had truly killed Yan Xiao last time. After all, they had truly consumed a portion of the Dragon God's power.
"So I …" Jiang Wang asked, "Keep killing it?"
"Yes." Guan Yan smiled. "Keep killing it."
"Given Yan Xiao's chaotic intelligence, since its combat strength won't exceed the limit of the Inner Palace, then it definitely won't be a match for me." Jiang Wang calmly examined himself and said confidently, "The more I kill it, the better, right?"
This was the confidence that belonged to the number one person in history.
"There's no need." Guan Yan shook his head. "You can kill it as slowly as possible and let it die for a longer time. It's fine as long as it can't help the Dragon God. "
As he spoke, he opened his jade-like right palm.
Star sand flowed like water and coiled around Jiang Wang's arm, forming a ring that imprinted itself on it.
Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat. He could sense the power of Master Guan Yan's star tower from this imprint. He had not forgotten that power that had escorted him to the Forest Sea Origin Realm.
"I've been modifying it for a while now, and it's finally complete. Consider it a gift for you. " Guan Yan said in a normal tone, "If anything unexpected happens … … it will bring you back to where you came from."
He probably recalled his experience in the Seven Stars Valley when he received Jiang Wang, so he added, "You can also go to other Seven Stars Realms. But after that, you'll have to find your own way home … … "
The more Yan Xiao was killed, the more energy the Dragon God would expend. Of course, this would be more beneficial to Guan Yan's battle … … But for Jiang Wang, danger was unavoidable.
Yan Xiao's strength was not to be underestimated, and every time he revived, he would be in a completely new state. No matter how strong Jiang Wang was, how long could he last against the Inner Palace's limit?
Even though Guan Yan had invited Jiang Wang to help him, he was still the one who would take the most dangerous part of the battle. He had even gifted Jiang Wang his star tower and prepared a path of retreat for Jiang Wang … …
If it weren't for the fact that he lacked confidence in this battle … … he probably wouldn't have invited Jiang Wang.
How could the Dragon God, who dared to target the stars of the universe, be so easy to deal with?
Perhaps Guan Yan was only calm about his own life and death, but his worries were elsewhere.
Jiang Wang was well aware of this, but he didn't say anything. He only said, "I know what to do."
"Divine power is vast, but human strength is limited." Guan Yan looked at him with a very serious expression. "Little Friend Jiang, I will do my best to finish him off before you run out of energy. This is my promise. "
The Forest Sea stretched as far as the eye could see.
The Forest Sea Origin Realm was always dimly lit.
A set of white monk robes and a set of blue robes stood side by side in front of a decaying, gigantic Divine Dragon Tree. They were the only two bright colors on this lengthy painting.
Beyond this gigantic, horizontal Divine Dragon Tree was the Hanging Skull Forest, which resembled a purgatory on earth.
Qing Qishu had once said, "In the future, the one hanging on this tree could be me, or it could be my child."
He had probably wanted to say … … his and Qinghua's child.
At this moment, Jiang Wang recalled how Qing Qishu had lightly punched him in the face back in the Swallow's Nest.
Qing Qishu, who had called him "Mister Zhang", who had treated his random teachings as peerless scriptures, and who had wholeheartedly wanted to get close to Qinghua … … Was he supposed to be under the Dragon God's control and live an eternal life of violence and slaughter?
Was his head supposed to be hanging on a tree and becoming its nutrients?
Was his family and friends the same as him, never able to see the end of the world?
In the end, "Mister Zhang" simply looked at Guan Yan and said, "Senior, your battle will be an even more difficult one. Please fight with all your heart and don't think about this side. Before my sword breaks, Yan Xiao will definitely not affect you. He will only continue to make the Dragon God bleed … … This is my promise. "
He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and extend it in front of Guan Yan. "Let us accomplish this great task together in this faraway galaxy, in this place that perhaps no one knows of."
"Alright." Guan Yan smiled warmly and reached out to shake Qing Qishu's hand. "In this faraway galaxy, in this place that no one knows of!"
In the vast universe, what didn't seem like dust?
In the boundless space and time, the Forest Sea Origin Realm was indeed a faraway place that no one knew of.
In this place, no matter what happened, no matter what sacrifices were made, no matter how dazzling one's performance, they were all destined to remain silent in the universe, so lonely that there would be no echo … …
They were the silent dust of the universe.
Since time immemorial, there had been people who sought benefits and fame.
For the sake of immediate benefits, they dared to hang their heads on their belts.
For the sake of glory, they dared to tread on a sea of fire.
However, in a place like the Forest Sea Origin Realm.
There was no applause, no cheers.
No matter how great a journey was, it could only quietly come to an end.
The beginning and the end were all lonely.
They sought benefits but failed to obtain them. They sought fame but failed to obtain them.
However, it was precisely in this place.
Guan Yan, the Xuankong Temple's number one perceptive ability in the past five hundred years, was determined to stay here and never become a Buddha.
Jiang Wang, the number one Inner Palace disciple in history, gave up on the battle of Xingyue Plains and went alone.
The top Tianjiao of the Modern Realm five hundred years ago, and the top Tianjiao of the Modern Realm five hundred years later … …
The two of them decided to work together in this unknown place to fight against the terrifying existence that was trying to control the stars of the universe.
One was for love, the other was for faith.
At the same time, they also felt pity for the Forest Sea Origin Realm.
No one in the Forest Sea Sacred Race praised Guan Yan's name. Apart from Granny Qinghua and Qing Bazhi, there were probably not many people who remembered that Jiang Wang had come here.
However, they still decided to do this.
Guan Yan had already fought alone for five hundred and thirty-seven years.
Today, Jiang Wang … … was going to fight!
The two of them stood in front of the giant wall of rotten wood, silently waiting for an opportunity to appear.
The rotten wood had no life force to speak of, but it still hadn't mixed with the soil. If the rotten wood had a spirit, then it was unknown what it was persisting for.
Jiang Wang explored the Inner Palace while waiting — — he didn't want to miss any time, because the heavy matters of the past were too pressing.
When Guan Yan spoke, he spoke. When Guan Yan didn't speak, he cultivated.
Meanwhile, Guan Yan focused most of his energy on the World Origin of this realm, on the Dragon God.
The two of them waited until the sky dimmed, and the entire world turned completely dark.
The Forest Sea Origin Realm's nighttime was terrifying.
Ever since the "Night Invasion" had been activated, it had never stopped wreaking havoc.
If there were vengeful spirits in this realm, the night breeze should have been filled with the cries of ghosts. Unfortunately, even the cries of ghosts didn't exist. Even if there were vengeful spirits, they would have been devoured by Yan Xiao … …
The Primal Chaos Invasion couldn't disturb the two of them.
The ring of stars on Jiang Wang's hand glowed faintly, protecting him from the Night Invasion. The scabbard made of Divine Dragon Wood also glowed faintly, as if it was expelling something, just like a lit Divine Dragon Incense — — he didn't know it had such a wonderful effect.
Guan Yan praised, "One can see the sword just by looking at the scabbard. Your sword is getting better and better."
Jiang Wang was sometimes shy when it came to praises for himself. However, he accepted all of the praises for his sword, because he was indeed very proud of himself. "It has indeed accompanied me for a very long time. It's the best weapon for me, and it's also something I love dearly."
Lian Que's custom-made sword nurturing technique was indeed very useful, and after he reached Heaven's Palace, he used the Light of the Five Divine Abilities to nurture his sword, which greatly benefited the Sauvignon Yearning's spirituality.
Most Famed Artifacts in the world were sentient beings that accompanied their masters. Over a long period of time, an unparalleled tacit understanding was born, and a spirituality that was compatible with their bodies was born.
Even if it was a weapon used by a peerless Perfected Lord, if it hadn't reached the legendary stage of "Spirituality Transformation", once it left its original master, it would have to start all over again.
If it left Jiang Mengxiong, even Qi's Famed Artifact List wouldn't be able to rank it as number one.
The reason why "Spirituality Transformation" was said to be a legend was because it was rarely seen in ancient times.
In short, no matter how strong a weapon was, it still had to rely on the performance of the cultivator. Therefore, the Famed Artifact List of each country usually ranked the strength of the cultivator, and not the weapon itself.
In response to Jiang Wang's praise, the Sauvignon Yearning made a soft hum in the scabbard, as if it was responding.
The extremely soft hum of the sword made the night even lonelier.
However, Jiang Wang and Guan Yan were both people who were used to loneliness.
"Little Friend Jiang, do you have anyone you like?" Guan Yan looked up at the empty night sky and suddenly asked.
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, then said, "I don't really know …"
"You don't know, but you do," Guan Yan said softly.
"Perhaps. I've never asked myself." Jiang Wang lowered his eyes and said, "There's only one heart in a person's heart, and it can't hold too many things."
Guan Yan had always known that this young man who wasn't even twenty yet had an extremely heavy heart. He hadn't even reached the age of twenty yet, but he still carried a heavy burden on his shoulders.
However, he didn't try to console him. Instead, he just said to himself, "Liking someone is a very beautiful thing. You're walking in a very, very dark night, and you're looking ahead as if there's nothing there. But if there's someone in your heart, then everything will exist. "
For five hundred years, the Plenilune Serpent had always been looking at "little annoyance".
They were in the same realm, but they couldn't see each other. They could only hide it from each other.
It was as if there was nothing there, but it was also as if they had everything.
"That's really very good." Jiang Wang only said this one sentence before falling silent.
He kept the words "but I can't" in his heart.
The terrifying night of the Forest Ocean Origin Realm couldn't disturb them in the slightest.
The two of them fell silent as they rested …
Waited for the final moment.
… …
… …
In the Land of Divine Shadow, in a bookstore that had been around for a long time.
A white-haired old woman was quietly reading a book.
The title of the book was "Eight Methods for Planting Spiritual Silk Flowers".
The author was unknown.
So many years had passed, and she had read every single book here countless times.
She remembered every single word and every single crease.
However, she still came here to read from time to time.
She couldn't share Guan Yan's story with any of her clansmen.
She had been a young girl yearning for love, but time had already passed.
The traces of that handsome monk were everywhere. In that clear stream, in that flowerbed, and in her heart … He had changed the direction of the entire Forest Ocean Sacred Tribe. He had changed the past, and he had also changed the future … However, she could only proclaim the will of the Dragon God.
He was everywhere, but she could only pretend that he wasn't there.
It was only in this bookstore that there was a secret tacit understanding between them.
She flipped through every single ancient book, imagining what that person had used as a reference and what he had changed when he left behind these contents. What he had made up, or what he wanted to say to her …
It was as if she was conversing with that person —
As a reader and an author, they had passed through time and life and death to communicate in silence.
For example, in this "Eight Methods for Planting Spiritual Silk Flowers", on the thirteenth page, the nineteenth page, the fourth page, and the twenty-second page, the sixth and seventh page … they all had the same small words —
"Little Trouble".
She had only discovered these after he had left for many years.
These romantic feelings hidden in subtle corners supported her through life.
Until today.
Today, she had deep wrinkles and white hair.
However, as she sat here and flipped through the book, looking at those small words, it was as if she had seen them for the first time. Her eyes shone, and her heart softened.
No one knew about her secret thoughts, and their romance was hidden deep within.
She enjoyed these moments …
Of course, it was difficult to enjoy life.
The Azure Saintess walked in at this moment.
She leaned against the door and looked at the white-haired old woman, watching her reading as usual.
Her skinny fingers caressed the paper, and there was actually a gentleness of caressing a lover's cheek.
"High Priestess …" She opened her mouth.
The old priestess reluctantly looked away from the book and looked at Qing Zhi, full of kindness. "What is it, Qinghua?"
If Jiang Wang were here, he would discover that Qinghua was much more haggard than she had been back then.
In the past, she had been filled with the power of "life". Now, her vitality was still there, but her brows were full of fatigue and her eyes were slightly red.
"I'm very confused," Qinghua said.
"Child, what are you confused about?" The annoying old woman asked.
Qinghua stretched out a finger and gently slid it across the bookshelf beside her. Her gaze darted up and down, as if she was looking for a book that she could read, a book that could calm her.
However, it was very difficult for her to stop for a book.
"Why has the Envoy of the Dragon God already killed Yan Xiao? Why has Yan Xiao reappeared? "she asked.
"Because …"
The annoying old woman was interrupted as soon as she opened her mouth.
It was as if Qinghua didn't need to answer at all. She already had her answer.
"Is it because the evil in the world can't be eradicated?" As Qinghua said this, she turned her head and looked at the old woman's wrinkled face with bloodshot eyes. "Is it because we … are sinful!"
The annoying old woman frowned. "Why do you say that? What have you come into contact with in private?"
There was really no need to ask this question.
The Saint of Qing Zhi could naturally come into contact with the "Dragon God".
However, the annoying old woman couldn't bear to.
Qinghua closed her eyes, as if in great pain. "I've been hearing some strange voices recently …"
The annoying old woman said, "Where there is day, there is night. Where there is good, there is evil. The evil in the world cannot be eradicated. However, the good in the world will not disappear either. Yesterday's Yan Xiao died, and today's Yan Xiao was reborn. However, if you could kill it yesterday, you can kill it again tomorrow. "
She sighed. "In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to listen to the oracle."
