Jiang Nan sat in front of the Golden Jade Plate for another five months. During this period of time, his essence, qi, and spirit were exhausted time and time again. He almost fainted from exhaustion, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
In his mind, countless truths of the Heavenly Dao emerged like a vast blue sea. Lotus flowers bloomed one after another. Each enlightenment was like a lotus, swaying in the wind.
The aura of the Heavenly Dao on him was even stronger, even surpassing that of Daoist Zi Yu and the other heirs of the Heavenly Dao. It was as if he was the true disciple of the Heavenly Dao Divine Being!
This period of time was crucial to him. It allowed him to accumulate far more than any period of time in the past. Even the power of his nine great Heavenly Dao Mystiques increased day by day, becoming stronger by the day!
Moreover, during this period of time, he collected a lot of Primordial Violet Qi and refined it into his six incarnations. The six incarnations became a combination of the Primordial Body and the Xuanhuang Body, and their strength increased exponentially!
His cultivation level did not fall behind either. His cultivation level increased by leaps and bounds. He was already close to the third realm of the eight realms of the Heavenly Palace, the realm of the Longevity Heavenly Palace. He expected that after a period of arduous cultivation, he would be able to reach the peak of the Earth Heavenly Palace and attack the Longevity Heavenly Palace!
His biggest gain was that he integrated the enlightenment he gained during this period of time into his Seal of Fearlessness. He continued to perfect the first two styles of the Seal of Fearlessness, and its power increased tremendously!
"It's just that it consumes too much spiritual stone liquid …"
Jiang Nan sighed. During this period of time, his essence, qi, and spirit were greatly depleted. In order to recover quickly, he had to use spiritual stone liquid!
Every time he recovered, he needed millions of kilograms of spiritual stone liquid. Moreover, he recovered too many times, which caused him to consume 20% of his spiritual stone liquid!
"If this goes on, I'll run out sooner or later!"
A rainbow bridge appeared, and Jiang Nan stepped onto it. The rainbow bridge carried him away, and the young man on the bridge was still in a daze. "If I can get a spiritual stone vein, I won't have to worry about spiritual stone depletion all day long. That would be great … Eh? Why didn't the Dao Of Gojoseon send me away? "
The rainbow bridge carried him all the way to the Eight Sceneries of Cloud Hall before dispersing.
Jiang Nan landed on the ground and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of the screen with his hands behind his back. His black hair fluttered in the wind. A cultivator with a profound cultivation base would have a state of mind like an ancient well, without any ripples. Only when a stone was thrown would there be ripples.
Jiang Nan guessed that the middle-aged man standing in front of the screen, whose state of mind had never wavered since ancient times, was now rippling. His state of mind was in turmoil, causing his hair to flutter.
However, what terrified Jiang Nan was that the middle-aged man's fluttering hair gave him an unimaginable sense of oppression. It was as if a single strand of hair would be enough to cut him in half!
The middle-aged man didn't turn around and said softly, "Little friend Jiang, come here."
"The Dao Of Gojoseon?"
Jiang Nan was startled. He had heard of the Dao Of Gojoseon's voice before, and this middle-aged man's voice was exactly the same as the Dao Of Gojoseon's. But usually, the Dao Of Gojoseon was shrouded in heavenly light, and his face could not be seen clearly. But now, the heavenly light was gone, and his face was revealed!
Jiang Nan stepped forward and stood beside the middle-aged man. The Dao Of Gojoseon said softly, "The painting on this screen is about the past."
His gaze was distant as he said softly, "Back then, during the calamity of the world, the ancient Immortals created chaos. Immortals descended upon the world and shattered the Heavenly Dao. I participated in that great battle with many fellow Daoists, and the number of people who died was innumerable. It could be said that every inch of land in the universe was stained with the blood of gods, buddhas, and demons. They are the reason why all living beings in the future were able to survive on this land. "
Jiang Nan looked at the screen, and he asked curiously, "Who is this immortal in the painting?"
"This is a Guxian that descended to the world."
The Dao Of Gojoseon said leisurely, "He was a man of virtue and prestige. After the rebellion was quelled, the other two Guxian left, and he was the only one that stayed behind to teach us Daoism, and to explain the secrets of immortality, so that we would have enough power to suppress the body of the immortal that rebelled. There were 13 people who listened to him, but four of them passed away, and only nine survived. These nine people participated in the mending of the heavens, and I was one of them. "
Jiang Nan carefully looked at the painting on the screen, and sure enough, he saw a person who looked similar to the Dao Of Gojoseon. They both had the natural demeanor of a God Emperor who had been on the throne for a long time.
"At that time, our thoughts were that the Heavenly Dao was crumbling, and the worlds were about to fall apart. If we didn't save them, all living beings would die, and the worlds would return to chaos. If we mended the heavens, we would be assimilated by the Heavenly Dao, and become part of it. Our self-consciousness would disappear, and it would be no different from death. "
The Dao Of Gojoseon's eyes were blurred, as if he was reminiscing about the past, and he said softly, "At that time, we thought, so what if we die? What's there to fear? As the strongest existence in the world, the worlds nurtured us, and we can't live without the thought of returning the favor. So, the nine of us cultivated the Five Colored Gold to mend the heavens. "
He chuckled, "That was a long time ago. We were so young and vigorous back then, and we didn't care about the matter of life and death after mending the heavens."
Jiang Nan's heart involuntarily gave birth to a feeling of admiration. No matter what the nine Heaven Mending Deities did later on, no matter whether they obstructed the path of immortality for all living beings, their actions at that time were worthy of everyone's respect. Without them, the myriad of worlds would have long become a land of death without any chance of survival.
"But what the nine of us didn't expect was that we didn't die, and instead, we survived. It's been over 50 million years, and it's been a very long time … This is the Lord of Buddhas, he was a disciple of the ancient Buddhist Sect, and he surpassed his predecessors by doing good deeds and preaching. Even though he became a monarch later on, he still lived like a monk. "
The Dao Of Gojoseon pointed at a Buddha on the screen, and behind the Buddha, there were countless golden wheels revolving around the Buddha, and within the golden wheels was the Ji Le Great World. The Dao Of Gojoseon smiled and said, "He was very unhappy with me, and although he didn't say it out loud, we fought many times in the open and in the dark. Later on, I built a Heaven Court for him, and he was too embarrassed to find trouble with me, and we got along very well. This is the Ancestor of Providence, and his sword formation is unparalleled. His achievements in the Sword Dao are very high, and he abhors evil. His attacks are very strong, but they can't last long, or they will break easily. His attacks are overbearing, but after dodging the first few attacks, he is dead meat. This problem of his has put him in many dangerous situations, and I saved him a few times, but his attacks are indeed unparalleled. "
Jiang Nan looked at the Lord of Buddhas and the Ancestor of Providence on the screen, and he didn't think much of the Ancestor of Providence. 'During the time when the Ancestor of Providence was fighting with the Starlight Emperor, he didn't really hate evil. If not for his interference, would the Starlight Emperor's wife and daughter have died?'
"This is Heaven Blade."
The Dao Of Gojoseon pointed at a tall and mighty man on the screen, and said, "Heaven Blade is the most simple, mature, and pure. With a blade in hand, there is nothing else. It is because of his pure heart that he reached the highest level. He always said that my heart is not pure, and that I have too many distracting thoughts, and that it is really unjust that I could become a monarch. "
"This is the Ancestor of Xuanhuang. In the war of emperors back then, he was my strongest opponent. His knowledge is very diverse, and his comprehension is very high. He is also good at learning from others, and he can even surpass his master. Fighting with him is the most frustrating, because he will often use your cultivation techniques and divine abilities to defeat you. "
"This is the old man Yinglong. He is very arrogant, and his nose is always up to his eyes. Every time he opens his mouth, he talks about you ignorant and insignificant creatures. However, he is also the one who contributed the most during the calamity, and he is also the first person who agreed to sacrifice himself to mend the heavens without thinking."
"He is the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth. He is very ambitious, and often likes to play tricks. We call him 'Strategist', but he is very ambitious. When we were fighting against the Guxian, he even schemed and almost killed all of us. Heaven's Will, Heaven's Blade, and Heaven's Yellow Emperor captured him and gave him a good beating. After that, he became obedient and wholeheartedly gave advice and suggestions. Without him, that ancient immortal would have destroyed all the heavens. "
"This is my Master, people call him the Hutian Divine Ancestor."
The Dao Of Gojoseon's eyes shone with admiration and reverence, "The universe in the chest is big, and the sun and moon in the pot are long. His breadth of mind is broad enough to accommodate the world, and I was raised by him. His every word and action spurred me on to move forward. Without his assistance, I would not have been able to defeat the heroes and ascend to the throne. The last one is the Fortune Gate Ancestor. You have met him before, his creation dao is profound, unparalleled. Among the nine of us, he has the most thorough understanding of the Heavenly Dao. Long before the mending of the heavens, he could already use the Heavenly Dao's divine abilities. If you choose to go to him, you will definitely gain more than me. "
Jiang Nan listened quietly. In his heart, other than respect, he also admired the past deeds of these nine Heaven Mending Deities. These nine people were born in a chaotic era, fought against the ancient immortals, and had the heart to help the world. Whether it was in that chaotic era or now, their deeds were worthy of being remembered by the people of the world.
"Why is the Dao Of Gojoseon telling me these things?"
He was still puzzled. The things that the Dao Of Gojoseon mentioned were all about the past of the Heaven Mending Celestials. They were too old, especially the comments about the Heaven Mending Celestials. If it were to spread out, it would scare a lot of people to death!
"The Dao Of Gojoseon's state of mind is fluctuating. I don't know what happened, but he is looking for someone to have a heart-to-heart talk with. En, don't tell me he will kill me after he is done talking … "
While Jiang Nan was feeling uneasy, the middle-aged man beside him heaved a long sigh, and his voice turned gloomy, "And now, fifty million years have passed, we have decayed, and are no longer the same as before …"
Jiang Nan shuddered at the middle-aged man's words. He was even more certain that the Dao Of Gojoseon would kill him if he heard these secrets.
"My little friend Jiang, don't worry. I will not kill you for such a small matter." The Dao Of Gojoseon laughed as if he had seen through Jiang Nan's thoughts.
At this moment, he did not look like the God Emperor who fought against the Guxian 50 million years ago, nor did he look like the Heaven Mending Celestial Being who dominated the world. Instead, he looked like an ordinary cultivator, an ordinary senior.
"You have destroyed six altars. Other than six months to study the Heavenly Treasures, you will also have six chances to learn the Heavenly Dao's supernatural powers! You don't have to learn the supernatural powers of the other ancestors. I will teach you six supernatural powers! "
The Dao Of Gojoseon suddenly stretched out his index finger and pointed it at the center of Jiang Nan's eyebrows. Instantly, many supernatural powers flowed into Jiang Nan's mind. Before Jiang Nan could savor them, he saw a surge of divine light. The middle-aged man in front of him suddenly became vast and boundless. He was millions of miles away from him, sacred and cold.
"My little friend Jiang, are you willing to be my disciple?" His voice was indifferent and distant, giving off a feeling that the Heavenly Dao was merciless.
