No one would believe that a mortal invention made by a mortal could reverse the heavens and earth.
Was Dao the simplest?
The Great Elder's face was filled with shock. "Unbelievable! Unimaginable!"
"Sigh!"
Yao Mengji let out a long sigh and said with disappointment and regret, "When I visited the expert yesterday, he even explained the principles of lightning rods to me, such as static electricity, conductors, and channels. It's a pity that my understanding is too weak and my strength is not enough. I couldn't understand a single word. Otherwise, I might have been able to understand the principles of the Dao."
Zhou Dacheng said, "It's not that easy to understand the expert's words. It's probably because he's at a higher level."
Yao Mengji suddenly asked, "Oh right, the heavens and earth are changing. Have you tried contacting the ancestors of the Linxian Palace?"
Qin Manyun said, "Master, we've tried."
"How was it?"
Qin Manyun frowned slightly. "It's no longer as unresponsive as before. However, even though the Ancestral Tablet is lit up, it's still difficult to communicate with the ancestors."
"It seems like the path between immortals and mortals is starting to open up."
Yao Mengji nodded and continued, "I'm guessing that it's because the heavens and earth have just started changing. Hence, most of the paths between immortals and mortals are still cut off. Moreover, we haven't paid enough yet, so we can't contact them. Let's not rush this. Let's wait for the future."
At the same time, in the Azure Valley.
In the deepest part of the main hall.
The space was huge but empty. There were only three things placed here.
A long wooden table, a milky white stone, and a stove with incense burning.
Gu Changqing brought Gu Ziyao and her brother along with three other elders of the Azure Valley. They stood respectfully in front of the wooden table. Their expressions were solemn.
"Alright, let's begin!"
Gu Changqing took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.
First, he kowtowed three times to the milky white stone in front of the wooden table. Then, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the stone.
Suddenly, the milky white stone started to glow and lit up the entire room.
Gu Changqing and the others were shocked. They did not dare to delay and quickly lit the incense sticks.
Then, he respectfully held the incense stick in his hand and said with utmost sincerity, "The eleventh Valley Master of Azure Valley, Gu Changqing, invites the ancestors to come!"
As his voice fell, the smoke from the incense began to change its path. It was no longer going up, but horizontally. It floated toward the milky white stone. The smoke merged with the stone, and suddenly, it shone brightly.
The blood on it shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Everyone held their breaths, not even daring to breathe loudly. They were extremely nervous.
Buzz!
In the void, a series of ripples spread out like space ripples, and a vast and boundless aura suddenly surged out.
Immediately after, the milky white stone shone brightly and shot straight into the sky. Then, above the light, an illusory figure slowly appeared.
The figure was dazed for a moment before asking, "Chang Qing?"
Gu Changqing's eyes instantly turned red as if he had seen his closest relative. He could not help but take two steps forward and choked with sobs. "Grandfather!"
The illusory figure's eyes also turned red. He said emotionally, "It's really you, my good grandson!"
Gu Changqing quickly called Gu Ziyao and her brother over. "Grandfather, this is my son and daughter, Gu Ziyao and Gu Ziyu. Hurry up and greet great-grandfather."
Gu Ziyao and her brother were extremely nervous. They said cautiously, "Great-grandfather."
"Hahaha, you have a son and a daughter. Not bad!" The illusory figure could not help but laugh. He was so excited that he was shaking a little.
After laughing for a while, the illusory figure said, "Right, where's your father? I remember that when I ascended, he was already at the peak of the Tribulation Stage. "
Gu Changqing's eyes darkened. He sighed and said, "Three thousand years ago, the demons wreaked havoc. They took advantage of the time when my father was being sealed as a demon to do evil. Although they were eventually suppressed, my father died."
The illusory figure also looked sad. Then, he sighed and said, "Life and death are normal for cultivators of our generation. There are a total of eleven Valley Masters in Azure Valley, including you. Which one of them is not a talented person? There are only three people who can truly ascend and become immortals, including me! The path to immortality is uncertain and the future is uncertain. Who knows how many cultivators have died along the way? "
Gu Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "Three thousand years ago, because the demons knew that the path between immortals and mortals was cut off, we could not invite immortals to descend. That was why they dared to invade Azure Valley. That year, there was a bloodbath in the entire Immortal Realm. Countless people died. It was really abominable!"
"After so many years, the path between immortals and mortals was cut off and the mortal realm weakened. It did give the Demonic Realm an opportunity to take advantage of. Fortunately, you guys held on."
The illusory figure said in surprise, "But I didn't expect the path between immortals and mortals to show signs of being reopened."
"Grandpa, I know a little about this. In our mortal realm, there is a …" Gu Changqing said in a trembling voice, "Sage!"
"Sage … Sage?"
The illusory figure could not help but shake his head. He found it funny and said, "Impossible. Not to mention the mortal realm, even in the current Immortal Realm, Sages only exist in legends. I'm afraid such people only existed in ancient times. Your knowledge is too shallow. Don't say such ignorant things. It's good enough that you become a laughing stock. Who knows, you might even offend the real Sage."
Gu Changqing quickly said, "Grandpa, I'm serious! A few days ago, Family Liu's ancestor descended and was killed by the expert's calligraphy. For this, he even poked a hole in the sky! I was there at the scene! "
The illusory figure was shocked and shook twice. "Family Liu's ancestor was only at the early stage of Celestial Immortal. There are many people who can kill him. But to break the path between immortals and mortals in the mortal realm, such a method, could it be a Golden Immortal? Or could it be some kind of special treasure left behind in the mortal realm from ancient times? There shouldn't be such a powerful existence in the mortal realm! "
He thought about all kinds of possibilities. If it were not for the fact that Gu Changqing was his grandson and he trusted Gu Changqing, he would have thought it was nonsense.
Gu Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa, the expert left behind a painting."
"Oh? Let me see it. Maybe I can guess a thing or two about his strength and see if it's real or fake. "The illusory figure was suddenly interested and could not wait.
Gu Changqing solemnly took out the painting and reminded him, "Grandpa, please be prepared."
The illusory figure smiled and said proudly, "There's no need for that. The first Valley Master of Azure Valley had ascended and was very talented. He also established a sect in the Immortal Realm. Although I'm not related to him by blood, we were both from Azure Valley. He took good care of me and I'm doing well. Just open it."
Gu Changqing nodded and slowly unfolded the painting in his hand.
Immediately, the Golden Crow Shining Sun and golden flames that filled the sky swept down from the scroll.
Gu Changqing's realm was not high enough, so he could not feel the pressure. However, the illusory figure was stunned. The painting was only unfolded halfway and he felt a vast and boundless aura pressing down on him. His brain buzzed and he almost lost consciousness.
Majestic, sacred, terrifying, and … scorching!
It was too scary, too horrifying!
In just a moment, the illusory figure had almost disappeared into thin air. An extremely weak and urgent voice was heard. "Stop! Don't open it again, I can't take it anymore! Quickly close the painting and summon me again, summon me again … "
