Chapter 192 - A Fine Line between the Devil and Buddha
Three days later, Jiang Ming felt refreshed. Half a month later however, Jiang Ming came over to the pavilion as he kept rubbing his waist, with ten junior sisters surrounding him.
“Junior Brother, can’t anymore?”
“It’s one against ten! Even a bull might die from exhaustion.”
“Hmph, just admit that you cannot already.”
“Wait till I start training on the Golden Steel Impeccable Body, then I’ll go another 3 million rounds with you.”
“All talk!”
The nine clones flew around hidden in Jiuyang Sect, looking at the changes for the past few years. Linglong’s main body stayed by Jiang Ming’s side and slowly talked about what happened in the Inheritance Space.
Over on the island where she was accepted as a disciple by name, time flowed100 times faster than the outside world. When coupled with immense resources along with 1,000 years of cultivation, she raised her cultivation base straight to level 14 Golden Immortal Realm. However, the rest of her clones had varying cultivation bases, some at Golden Immortal Realm while others in Mystical Immortal Realm.
This was especially the case for the Time Clone because it was relatively more difficult for her to improve, as she had just recently stepped into the Mystical Immortal Realm. Linglong’s main body, however, had already reached the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal Realm.
“You’re at Golden Immortal Realm and you’re still not named the true disciple?” Jiang Ming asked curiously.
“Yeah.” Linglong nodded, “Master’s background should be very big, beyond expectation. I won’t ponder on other things and will just need to practice my cultivation step by step and it will do.”
“Of course!” Jiang Ming agreed.
After becoming a named disciple, there weren’t any missions or mandatory requirements imposed. She was allowed to continue her cultivation and the conditions were not strict at all.
“However, old Bai did bring up something, that is if I cannot reach the Great Overarching Golden Immortal Realm within a million years, I will be expelled and have my identity as a named disciple taken back.
Linglong’s tone was casual and she obviously didn’t care about it much.
The Great Overarching Golden Immortal was above the Taiyi Golden Immortal. Once a person reached such a realm, the person would be considered one of the main powerhouses across the galaxies.
Though Jiang Ming wasn’t clear how impeccable a Great Overarching Golden Immortal expert was for he hadn’t even visited the immortal world until now.
“Are you confident?”
“Yes I am! Even if I’m not, don’t we still have the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Heart Bed!” “Haha! This can be a thing. However, we still have to focus on our cultivation. There’s only a limit to a whole day’s time, so we shouldn’t be focused on intimacy and love everyday.” “Well, there’s so many hours a day and the sun will be shining for so many hours! Senior Brother, the day is still young, let’s go.” “Cough….” Jiang Ming shut himself up. It was at that moment, Xi Yao came flying through the air and the moment she saw Linglong, her expression suddenly brightened, “I was just wondering why this place was sealed! It turns out that Linglong is back! I came over ten days ago and saw that it was sealed then, you guys didn’t just….”
In an instant, a thought ran through her mind as her eyes widened and her ears turned red. “Xi Yao, you are such a failure.” Linglong walked over with her hands behind her back, looking like an overbearing queen, “I gave you a few years’ time and you’re still a virgin!”
“Linglong, what nonsense are you talking about.” Xi Yao’s face turned red, as her expression turned serious, “I long for longevity, in search of the path towards the Great Dao and my wish is to step into the Immortal Realm. As for the rest, those are just insignificant like splashes of water and fleeting clouds.”
“Immortal Realm?” Linglong smiled strangely, “Well you’re looking at an Immortal Realm right in front of you! If you…. *cough*, you’d probably be at least Extreme Path Realm, if not Imminent Immortal, rather than staying at the pinnacle of Primal Spirit Realm.
*Slap…*
Jiang Ming slapped Linglong’s butt through the air and said, “You rascal, you’re getting more and more out of tune!”
Linglong only pursed his lips as Xi Yao lowered her head deep in thought.
‘If you…. *cough*, you’d probably be at least Extreme Path Realm, if not Imminent Immortal.’ Linglong’s words kept running through her head. How was that possible?
She couldn’t sense Linglong’s cultivation base at all. Standing right next to her inexplicably made her soul feel insignificant.
“Linglong, what’s your cultivation base now?” Xi Yao asked.
“Immortal Realm” answered Linglong.
“Immortal Realm? How is that possible?” Xi Yao exclaimed.
Linglong smiled as she raised her hands and grabbed into the air. A chain of order was forcibly pulled out by her, condensing into a chain as she swiftly threw it over to Xi Yao.
“This… This is the Lunar Law’s Chain!” Xi Yao’s eyes widened, her face filled with shock. “Even Imminent Immortals couldn’t materialize the Law’s Chains. You really became an Immortal? But how did you not ascend?”
Linglong didn’t answer but cheekily replied, “That’s why I told you, Immortal Realm is just in front of you, yet you’re turning a blind eye!”
Xi Yao was speechless as she took a glance at Jiang Ming secretly.
The mountain breeze was rippling through the air under the warmth of the sun.
Jiang Ming stretched his body and exclaimed in his heart, ‘This is what I called truly living!’
Accompanied by a fairy-like lady with another Holy Daughter on the other side, what more could a husband ask for!
However, Jiang Ming’s face turned slightly solemn and asked: “Xi Yao, is there any news from your Master?”
“There is. They’re just telling me to return to my master as soon as possible.” Xi Yao had a clear mind and immodestly felt that something was wrong, “Brother Jiang, did something happen?”
“Half a month ago, the cross dimensional gateway of the Western Region was opened, followed by Long Yuan in the deep Eastern Sea, Southern Region and Zhong Province. ” Jiang Ming explained, “There should also be a cross dimensional gateway opened in the Riyue Sect, which should be the so-called true heritage of the Sacred Lands.” “This…” Xi Yao’s expression changed slightly and anxiously continued, “Brother Jiang, my master’s sect…. my master’s sect will never be your enemy.”
Maybe her master’s sect didn’t know of Jiang Ming’s terror, but how could she not know?
He was the person who could decimate descended Immortals in a glimpse of an eye.
He was the one overseeing the world, suppressed countless foreigners who came from the outside world, preventing them from creating chaos and problems.
Now, even Linglong had already reached the Immortal Realm. How terrifying was that?
To top that off, the most important thing was that she could choose not to ascend when she was here.
Who else could even compete with her in this world?
But upon hearing what Jiang Ming told just now, she also understood in her heart that it was the Sacred Lands who were used to their arrogance. Now that various cross dimensional gateways were opened, they still thought that the world belonged to the Sacred Land, and thus ignoring this place now.
Otherwise, how could there be no concrete news? That was not right.
Could it be that they want to be enemies against us here? Otherwise, there should be more news.
As these thoughts ran through her mind, her face turned extremely solemn.
“Allies or enemies, it doesn’t really matter to me.” Jiang Ming spoke softly as he walked over and half onto the railings on the balcony, overlooking the distant mountains, “Just don’t come to Qing Province. Don’t come to Jiuyang Sect
He turned his head over, facing the spatial node right below Taiyang Peak.
He never looked there.
It was something that caused the Devils and Immortals to try and get their hands on at all cost, and it must be something that must not be taken lightly. For the sake of safety, he hadn’t acted.
He didn’t need the great encounters and only had to grow step by step. He didn’t want to endanger himself in these inexplicable encounters.
Xi Yao stood at the side and was trying to get into contact with her Master’s sect.
…
In the Tianyuan School of Zhong Province.
Liu Changkong was sitting together with Ye Ming
“Old Dean, the various sacred lands in the world all had their cross dimensional gateway opened. What are they planning? What are they trying to do? When the Eastern Region was lost, they did not take action; when the demons from the Northern Region invaded and when the foreigners from other worlds descended, these Sacred Lands did not open their cross dimensional gateways. Yet, what are they opening now for? The cross dimensional gateways have been opened yet the information about its opening is hidden from
us.”
“They are called Sacred Lands because they have a method of opening a cross dimensional gateway and will not simply evoke it unless it is the critical moment that leads to the destruction of the sect. Qingyun Sect was an example. Now, with all the cross dimensional gateways opening at one go, it seems the legend is true.”
“What legend?”
“A long time ago, this world of ours was once 90% destroyed, and almost collapsed completely. Later on, there was also a gruesome battle between the immortals and the devils. Based on these, it seems as though there’s something hidden in this world of ours that the gods craze for.Now that the cross dimensional gateways are opened in so many Sacred Lands, it can only explain one thing, that is, the hidden secret is true and it’s time to open it.”
“This… What should we do? Allow them to do as they wish?”
“Just wait and see!”
“Sigh, we can only do so. Old Dean, the secret is in Jiuyang Sect in the Eastern Region?”
“Everything that’s happened show’s it’s there.” “Should we inform them?”
“I’ll do it!”
Liu Changkong looked at the clouds in the skies with a heavy expression.
He never expected this kind of situation to happen and didn’t even realize it beforehand.
Qingyun Sect of the Eastern Region.
In a forbidden land, there were immortal lights trickling down with divine notes reverberating through the air, interweaving into a melody that didn’t belong to the human world.
Qing Fengzi came over to the place and he didn’t look very good.
He didn’t even know that the sect could open a cross dimensional gateway that could cross over to other worlds.
When he thought of the catastrophe in the Eastern Region and the heavy casualties that the sect had suffered, his heart was even more uncomfortable.
In the cross dimensional gateway, tens and thousands of these so-called “Immortals’ had descended but they were only at level 10. At the moment, these experts were sacrificing a mountain as an offering, turning it into an immortal land.
“Turning the mortal land into immortal land, guiding the projection of the immortal region to allow the real immortals to descend. They will then control the immortal land and travel around the world, conquering and wage war with everyone. Isn’t this the same as that Tian Ci from the Tianyuan School?”
Qing Fengzi understood a little more on what was occurring as he sighed in his heart, ‘This small feeble world is too miserable, constantly bullied by so many others.’
Meanwhile, Longyuan of the Eastern Sea, Taishang Sword Sect of Zhong Province, Million Demons Mountain of the Southern Region and many others were all doing the same thing
Western Regions.
Over at the Peak of Bliss, the mountain was also offered as sacrifice, turning into Buddha Land where peaceful Buddha lights illuminating throughout. Even thousands of Buddha phantoms started appearing in the air, reciting the sutras of compassion.
At the same time, there were as many as 10 millions of people gathered together, where some were devoted believers, while others the remnants of the Five Paths of the devil sects who were enlightened.
They knocked on the wooden fish, recited the scriptures, seemingly losing their own self-awareness through their immense devotion.
It could be clearly seen that their bodies were collapsing and disintegrating under the blessing of the great array formation below them. Those with their hands gone, their mouths never stopped; those with their mouths gone, their hands were still knocking on the wooden fish; those that had even lost their heads, their souls were still reciting the scriptures.
At a certain point, all of them completely disappeared, but there were countless spots of lights gathering together turning into a ball of light, as a streak of Buddha light rushed out of the cross dimensional gateway, merging with
After a while, the ball of light shattered and out walked a young Buddha monk, with a huge golden wheel of merit suspended behind his head.
He wore a cassock with a gentle smile on his face.
“All hail our Buddha!” Many Fo Sect’s elders knelt down one after another throwing their bodies onto the ground as respect.
“Namo Amitabha! You have all done greatly. After I save the world, I’ll take you all back with me to be under the originator Buddha!” the young Buddha monk nodded with a gentle smile, as his faint voice resounded through the
west.
Over on Chuyang peak, Jiang Ming also looked over that direction, his brows furrowed, “Such gruesome technique, such cruel method! Oh the Western Region, truly crueler than even the devils! A fine line between the Devil and the Buddha, both never apart. I finally understood what this saying meant.”
