In the Azure Heaven, Mengqi, who was wearing the mask of Heavenly Primogenitor, descended from the cloud and landed in front of the palace. Learning from Qu Jiuniang, he found an emergency talisman in the back hall and ignited it with Real Fire so that Primogenitor Lingbao could return as soon as possible. The Immortals were half of the Samsara Square and could be entered many times, but each stay could not be too long.
Mengqi did not go back the way he came. He chose to abort the task and was pulled out in advance. Although this would be judged as a failure and he would not get the reward, it would be faster and he would not be delayed by rushing back and forth. Kunlun was a little strange, so it was best not to delay it to avoid unexpected changes.
He did not take the sprite branch with him because it was a "living creature". Unlike other spirit herbs and treasures, it could not belong to him and be kept in the Space Ring. He could only seal its Vital Spirit and let Zhang Yuquan guard it.
After some time, Chong He, who was wearing the mask of Primogenitor Lingbao, appeared directly in the Azure Palace. It seemed that he did not go through the entrance.
After asking about the details, Primogenitor Lingbao did not speak for a long time. He looked at Mengqi as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly, he sighed. "The Daoist has been searching for many years but found no clues. He did not find any seal. It is really sad that you encountered something the first time you entered."
His voice became solemn. "Although this can be attributed to the karma and luck carried by practicing the Heavenly Golden Scripture, it is too coincidental …"
After thinking about his words, he continued, "Your luck is too good. There are too many adventures and coincidences. Even when we were fighting for the Primary Instruction of Buddha's Palm, you, who were thousands of miles away, could find an opportunity. For a cultivator, this is not a good thing. It is beyond your ability and does not belong to you. It is like water without a source or a tree without roots. If you rely on it, you will be in big trouble sooner or later."
Seeing that Mengqi was not emotional, he felt relieved and continued, "The most worrying thing is, where did such luck come from? Were these fortuitous encounters and coincidences natural or arranged by someone? "
"Thank you for your reminder, Heavenly Venerable One. I've been aware of this for a long time, and I've been panicking and trying my best to find a way to deal with it in the future." Mengqi cupped his hands and bowed, his tone calm and unwavering.
After being reminded by Mr. Lu and Heaven-destined Cultivator, the Little Jade Buddha, the Buddha's Lamp, the Buddha's Palm, the serial tasks of Zhenwu could be triggered by killing the Evil Ridge Horse Bandits, and the haunting Ananda who kept saying, "I see", Mengqi was deeply vigilant. It could be a coincidence if it happened once or twice, but three or four times would make his scalp numb!
Therefore, the mentally prepared Mengqi was not frightened by Primogenitor Lingbao's words.
"You're still clear-headed." Primogenitor Lingbao was slightly gratified. "Do you have any preventive measures or countermeasures?"
Delighted, Mengqi seized the opportunity and said, "Since it's related to karma and luck, I should start from there. Therefore, I've collected karmic secret arts and after much effort, I've mastered the real 'Karma Fruit'. However, this bladesmanship is deeply related to Ananda and the Demonic Sage. I intend to continue collecting other karmic secret arts and study the 'Principles of All Karma'. Combining this blade, I'll create my own karmic bladesmanship. In the future, I'll cut off the connection and be myself!"
"That's a good idea … Unfortunately, the three seals of Overturning the Heavens, Yin and Yang don't involve karma. Otherwise, the profound 'Principles of All Karma' would be enough to push you to create your own blade of karma." Primogenitor Lingbao sighed with emotion. Then, he muttered to himself, "As for other karmic arts and secret arts …"
Was there? Was there? Mengqi looked at Primogenitor Lingbao with bright eyes.
"The Daoist doesn't know much about this. If you encounter them in the future, please pay more attention," Primogenitor Lingbao said.
Mengqi quickly cupped his hands in obeisance. "Thank you, Primogenitor!"
There was no time to waste. Primogenitor Lingbao grabbed Mengqi's shoulder and pointed with his left hand.
The void split open and the sword flashed brightly. It was a vast expanse of whiteness. Mengqi felt as though he had passed through layers of thick water curtains and traversed the darkness.
Primogenitor Lingbao had chosen to force his way in!
…
In front of a lush valley, two people wearing the masks of 'Primogenitor Lingbao' and 'Heavenly Primogenitor' descended from midair.
The medicinal sprite cowered and glanced at Primogenitor Lingbao. Its leaves swayed as it pointed to the valley. "The seal is here."
Primogenitor Lingbao's spirit, which was as vast as a sea of Qi of Heaven and Earth, spread out. He cast various secret arts and supernatural powers but the valley remained unaffected.
"I can't find the seal." His voice was calm as he looked at the medicinal sprite.
The medicinal sprite shuddered and stammered, "If … if there's no token, only … only the orthodox descendants of Yuxu Palace can see it when they use their skills. They must be orthodox! It can only be the Heavenly Golden Scripture, Eight Nine Mysteries or Guangcheng Catalog! "
Even the Eight Nine Mysteries would work? Mengqi was worried that his Heavenly Golden Scripture was an imitation and could not hide from the seal related to Yuxu of Kunlun. Now that he had let go of his worries, he activated his skills and imitated the Golden Scripture with Eight Nine Mysteries so as to not expose himself in front of the medicinal sprite.
The vast wilderness was filled with the vicissitudes of ancient times. The surroundings suddenly became dark as if they had returned to the beginning of everything.
Just then, a faint golden dot lit up. A golden door appeared at the entrance of the valley. Finally, something unusual had happened.
"There's really a seal …" Primogenitor Lingbao sighed.
The two of them passed through the golden door side by side. The light in their line of sight rippled like water. After a while, the valley appeared in front of them with the Qi of Grass and Wood a hundred times more exuberant than the outside world.
Old trees towered into the sky, green grass was like a carpet, exotic flowers were in full bloom, and vines were entwined. It was a scene of lush greenery.
"Master, apart from us fellows from Kunlun, none of them are useful!" The medicinal sprite said proudly.
Mengqi ignored it and asked, "Where's the deeper seal?"
The medicinal sprite hurriedly fell and led the two of them around a place full of ordinary ginseng and glossy ganoderma. They arrived at a mottled stone tablet.
Mengqi, who had been operating the magic skill to imitate the Golden Scripture, effortlessly activated the faint golden door behind the stone tablet!
"There's indeed a deeper seal …" Mengqi was still in the midst of lamenting when he suddenly heard Primogenitor Lingbao exclaim softly.
"What happened?" Mengqi followed Primogenitor Lingbao's line of sight and his eyes fell on the stone tablet.
The stone tablet did not have the aura of any exotic minerals or produce, nor did it have the slightest feeling of interweaving Dharma and Logos. The ancient seal script carved on it looked ordinary and mysterious.
"There are no spiritual herbs or exotic flowers forming here."
"This …" Mengqi's eyes widened, feeling inexplicably strange.
If he had seen it anywhere else, he would not have felt the slightest bit of emotion. At most, he would have thought it was a sign to commemorate something. But in the valley, according to the medicinal sprite, there were no spiritual herbs, exotic flowers, or old trees forming except for the few spiritual herbs from Kunlun!
Was this a prediction or a 'rule'?
"Primogenitor, do you see anything special?" Mengqi asked, tilting his head.
Primogenitor Lingbao shook his head. "The Daoist did not see anything special. There are no signs of the Force of Heaven and Earth being triggered. It's normal."
With such an unpredictable seal, the stone tablet was the most special thing about it!
Both of them looked at the medicinal sprite at the same time, causing it to tremble in fear. "I, I don't know either!"
Meng Qi calmed himself down and passed through the pale golden door again. Inside, there was a grayish-white stone ground with a radius of hundreds of feet. Not even a blade of grass grew. There was only a stone tablet similar to the one outside.
It was written in a calm and placid manner: "The creatures of this world are unable to cross the first step of the Celestial Ladder."
This! Mengqi could not suppress the shock in his heart. He tilted his head and looked at Primogenitor Lingbao.
It was true that no one in this world affiliated with the Immortals could truly cross the first step of the Celestial Ladder. At most, they could obtain similar powers through tricks!
Primogenitor Lingbao found this strange but could not find the reason. Now, the stone tablet stood there quietly. The seal script on it clearly stated this matter, like a curse or a rule!
Was it really because of this sentence and this stone tablet that the creatures of this world were restricted and could not break through no matter what?
If this was the reason, it was too shocking!
How powerful was it to determine the limits of heaven and earth with a single word?
Both of them fell silent. Even the medicinal sprite dared not speak. Behind the stone tablet, there was still a pale golden door.
Continuing through, Mengqi saw a field with a radius of hundreds of feet. There was nothing planted in it except for the third stone tablet.
"This world is full of Vital Qi of Heaven and Earth. There is no shortage of commonly seen exotic minerals and produce. However, the cultivation method is not of a high level and the refining method is crude."
It was another rule that matched the situation of the outside world!
Was it the Taoist Praying Technique or the golden words of the Celestial Sovereign?
Mengqi and Primogenitor Lingbao each pondered. They separately checked the stone tablet. It was still ordinary and had no power.
After passing through the golden door, there was a small pavilion in front of it. There was still a stone tablet in front of the pavilion. The words on it were still the same indifferent "tone":
"This world has a chaotic sea. Fog confuses the gods. Thunder punishments are incessant. Whirlpools are hidden. Cracks appear in the void. Only three months a year can pass through. The two sides are separated."
After seeing this stone tablet, Mengqi's vision blurred. A thought became clear. This was like a programmer setting up his own "world"!
"The God of Creation of this world?"
"Not in the beginning. The stone tablet appeared earlier than this world. It was a forced 'rule' later on." Primogenitor Lingbao, who had been silent for a long time, said.
He could roughly determine the era of the words on the stone tablet. It was younger than the age of many mountains in this world.
"Later on? Why such a rule … "Mengqi was full of doubts. However, he could clearly see the power of the person who set up the stone tablet. All the strangeness of this world seemed to be caused by the words on the stone tablets.
After passing through the pale golden door a few more times, the room became smaller and smaller until it reached a small room. There was still a stone tablet in the center. On it was written in seal script. It was light and calm without any strong emotions.
"Only those who practice Heavenly Golden Scripture, Eight Nine Mysteries, Guangcheng Catalog, Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art, or those who hold a token can enter this place."
There was no trace of the operation of a formation. However, everything seemed to be proceeding according to the stone tablet's description. It was as if they were the laws of heaven and earth, superior to other laws!
"It's only slightly inferior to the vastness and profundity that Daoist felt when he obtained the Aquamarine Palace." Primogenitor Lingbao sighed.
There was another door behind the stone tablet. According to the rules, this should be the last door. The two held their breath and stepped in slowly with Sprite of Herbs.
There was another stone tablet three feet behind the door. However, there were no words on it like before. It was in a blank state. There was only a signature at the bottom left corner. It did not give off a domineering feeling. It simply announced itself:
"Yang Jian of Yuxu School!"
"Yang Jian, Yang Erlang?" "Lord of Purity and Magic?" Mengqi's pupils constricted. He was dumbstruck!
