Chapter 343
Only when the three are united is she the brilliant and talented Immortal Emperor Qiming from ten thousand years ago!
Originally, they had not realized this, but on one occasion, the incomplete Dao position Taixu Attraction connected the auras of the three, and Immortal Emperor Qiming had such a thought: whenever she used Taixu Attraction in the past, she always felt it was not perfectly harmonious and satisfactory; could it be that she was not perfect?
And now… this is the perfect Immortal Emperor Qiming!
Between the Fairy's brows was a faint air of nobility from long holding a high position, her expression cold; one could vaguely see Immortal Emperor Qiming and Fairy Mingguang, and in the subtle details, one could also see the shadow of Zhao Qingqing.
Immortal Emperor Qiming was her during the Immortal Emperor period, Fairy Mingguang was her during the Cultivator period, and Zhao Qingqing was her during her childhood; three periods of time, at this moment, were finally unified as one.
At the center of her brows was a strange mark, looking like a character, yet also like a pattern. When others looked at it, they could vaguely understand it, and three words would surface in their hearts—Taixu Attraction.
Immortal Emperor Qiming did not pay too much attention to her current changes and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she had already broken through the barrier between the Creation Realm and the Human Realm, appearing behind Lin Yi.
Her physical body was still presiding within the Creation Realm, but her power had gathered on Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked up, and behind him, the phantom of Immortal Emperor Qiming was quietly watching him. A point of spiritual light flew out from her body and landed on the Baihong Sword in his hand, and this phantom dissipated. On the Baihong Sword, some strange patterns had appeared.
The Baihong Sword had previously obtained a Spirit Sword Chunjun reward; this reward allowed it to gain the ability to carry a "Spirit," which was the System.
As for the essence of the System… that was the "Spirit" born after His power and Lin Yi's Soul permeated each other; to put it a bit more colloquially… it was the child of Him and him.
Of course, it could also be considered as Lin Yi's half-body, or His will.
The "Fusion" obtained later allowed Baihong to carry other powers, such as the Essence of Reason, such as Dao positions; it had practically become a "Dao Sword."
This was not the so-called "Dao Sword" in the mouths of those low-level Sword Cultivators, which were just Swords that carried their own Sword Dao; Baihong was already the "Dao," one of the Incarnations of the Dao of Yin and Yang.
These two rewards looked useless, but in fact, they were very useful; it was just that they hadn't been highlighted yet.
When Lin Yi acted in the past, he always had Baihong helping him control things, and after obtaining "Fusion," it even absorbed the fragments of Small Worlds like the Asura Palace.
Lin Yi bent his finger and flicked the Sword body lightly, and the phantom of the Creation Realm behind him suddenly expanded. Under his will, the Creation Realm was approaching the Human Realm, and its external manifestation was—
Whether one was in the Northern Territory, Southern Border, Western Regions, or Eastern Sea of the Human Realm, one could look up and see a strange scene reflected in the sky.
It was sparkling like ripples, as if looking at a reflection across the surface of water, but as it kept approaching, it became clearer and clearer.
The Cold Palace and its various parts were naturally hidden, and the Cloud Top Immortal Palace hidden above the Cold Palace was also concealed; the figures of Pei Yuhan and the others could not be seen at all.
Lin Yi did not want people to know the reason for his methods. He would hide things as much as he could; otherwise, if they were cracked by someone, that would be bad, and it would also avoid being discovered by those guys from the Time Holy Court.
Moreover, these were all his trump cards for later, especially that Cloud Top Immortal Palace; the power within it was quite astonishing, as it was the final swan song of a half-step Dao Lord Immortal Emperor.
In the eyes of all living beings in the Human Realm, it was as if another world was slowly crashing down.
Those with profound cultivation could even see the towering mountains, rivers, and lakes, but there were no living beings in them; this was the only place that puzzled them.
This was naturally because Lin Yi did not yet have the Essence of Reason regarding creation; although he had Reincarnation, he still had no way to create living beings.
Chapter 456: I Also Want to Call You Little Brother.
"Is, is that the legendary Immortal Realm? Is the Immortal Realm about to descend into the Human Realm?! Have Immortals descended?!!"
"Can we also ascend to Immortality?!"
"Re, really?! Immortal… Immortals… we can also become Immortals…"
Immortal White Crane heard the excited voices of other Old Ancestors in his ears. He found it hard to imagine that those Old Ancestors in his memory would actually make such sounds… They should be old and steady, not like little children.
However… why was he also getting excited along with their words?
Immortal White Crane was somewhat confused, and he asked himself, having cultivated the Dao for over a thousand years, what was it all for?
He served as the Sect Master of the Xianyun Sect, became a lapdog for those people, sat by and watched Fairy Xiyue's moon Yin dissipate, fall into the Human Realm, and eventually even have to fall into the Netherworld; what was all that for?
Immortal White Crane used his Divine Sense to look at the Immortal Realm getting closer and closer above his head. It did not look like something from the Human Realm; it was vast, densely covered with traces of the Dao, as if the mountains, rivers, and lakes were outlined by the Essence of Great Dao…
Just by taking one look, he seemed to be finding his own path that had been cut off; he was about to touch that thin membrane. This… must be the Immortal Realm, right?
And he, having worked so hard all these years, wasn't it just for… Immortal Ascension?
Immortal, what a beautiful word… For countless years, countless Cultivators had followed one after another, wasn't it just to be like an Immortal, free and unfettered?
But how many are truly free and unfettered? Walking on this path, pursuing Immortal Ascension, isn't that also a kind of restriction? Perhaps, they aren't even as free as those Mortals?
Immortal White Crane was silent, the voices of the Old Ancestors still ringing in his ears.
"Magnificent, truly magnificent…"
An Old Ancestor muttered to himself.
"The gates of the Immortal Realm are about to open!! Let me go! Let me go!!"
An Old Ancestor was crazed, almost wishing he could fly up there. Unfortunately, after struggling for a moment, he was still pressed into the ground by that strange pressure.
"A new great era is about to begin…"
A sigh came, the voice filled with worry.
Immortal White Crane watched; they did not know why this change was happening, nor did they understand why the Immortal Realm was falling down.
They were just like those common Mortals; in the face of such changes, they could only helplessly accept it. They were no different from ants, and the cultivation they had worked so hard to attain had already fallen silent.
"Immortal Ascension…"
…
Xuanyuan Mingzhu gently stroked her lower abdomen. Beneath her phoenix-gold dress, the Yin patterns on her abdomen were gradually lighting up as the Creation Realm pressed down, but with a thought, these patterns silently faded away again.
She squinted her eyes, looking at the familiar scene above. She was one of the few people not suppressed by Lin Yi's pressure. Beside her, Maid Bihe was leaning against the railing, propping up her chin.
"Tell me, we will succeed, right? Bihe?"
Xuanyuan Mingzhu had not returned to the Creation Realm. After the Blood God was slain, the Human Realm would still need her to suppress it; that Yin-Yang Liangyi Universal Locking Array was prepared for the future.
She could not interfere with the affairs on the front line; that was a battlefield for those above the Dao Harmonizer level, but the rear… was a battlefield she could control.
She had to step up and help them stabilize, right? She was still the Empress of the Nine Provinces…
Xuanyuan Mingzhu pondered, a brilliant smile on her lips, not at all steady, just like she had turned back into that Ninth Princess who had landed in the dilapidated temple on a rainy night.
"Hmmph, is Your Majesty so lacking in confidence?"
Maid Bihe spoke with a grin, her tone lacking any sense of reverence, but Xuanyuan Mingzhu did not mind. The relationship between her and Maid Bihe had now become similar to that between Xuanyuan Ya and Demoness Zizhu, like master and servant, like close friends.
"That's good."
Xuanyuan Mingzhu nodded. She had confidence in Lin Yi, but she still had to ask others, so that her confidence could be firmer.
"Are the Dongfang Family, Celestial Masters Mansion, and Wei Family ready?"
Xuanyuan Mingzhu brought up the serious matter.
"They have long been ready. Before the Young Master went to the Northern Territory, they were already prepared. With Your Majesty's order, they can immediately activate the array and set off to the battlefield."
Maid Bihe replied, winding a strand of her hair around her fingertip, looking quite cute.
"Mm."
Xuanyuan Mingzhu nodded and once again silently watched her husband's actions, watching the Creation Realm press down horizontally.
At this moment, except for them, everyone was unable to move, so it was naturally impossible to issue orders for them to immediately impose martial law. She still had some spare capacity to appreciate this scene that was rare in ten million years.
…
"Little Carp? Is that the Immortal Realm?"
Dugu Xiwu looked up blankly at the reflection in the sky. As the water ripples flooded and the mist steamed, the reflection became clearer and clearer, giving a sense of heaven and earth turning upside down.
"… No."
Gu Dianxue frowned slightly, but after a while, her brows relaxed, and her expression returned to her usual coldness and calmness.
The two of them were currently not far from the Imperial Capital. After completing Lin Yi's instructions, they felt restless from being still and thought about finding an opportunity to have a meal, so they impatiently set off from Wan Yao Mountain and headed towards the Imperial Capital.
They did not expect that on the way, such a scene would occur…
"Does your Qiongyao Pavilion have any news about this thing? I feel creeped out looking at it, afraid that it will suddenly press down and we will all be pressed into biscuits!"
Dugu Xiwu's expression was somewhat panicked; her usual charm was gone, leaving only instinctive fear.
"How would there be any news? My Qiongyao Pavilion does not truly know everything."
Gu Dianxue was a bit annoyed. This situation was basically beyond their Realm, right? What news could there be? These were things that only existences above the Dao Harmonizer could clearly understand, right?
"Oh…"
Dugu Xiwu had strong intuition. She wanted to run away, but she was pressed in place and could not move at all. Only her Divine Sense could be released a little; otherwise, she would not even be able to talk to Little Carp.
"However… I do have some thoughts…"
Gu Dianxue spoke while pondering.
"Hm?"
Gu Dianxue scanned with her eyes and did not speak immediately.
"Little Carp, don't keep me in suspense!"
Seeing that Gu Dianxue had only said one sentence and stopped, Dugu Xiwu was anxious and wished she could pry open Gu Dianxue's mouth.
"In the Human Realm, only that Young Master is a Dao Harmonizer, right? Thus… this is also the work of that Young Master."
Gu Dianxue spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of fluctuation.
Without waiting for Dugu Xiwu to reply, Gu Dianxue continued, "Look, does that world have a familiar taste to that jade pendant?"
Dugu Xiwu was attracted by Gu Dianxue's words. She widened her eyes and used her intuition to perceive carefully. Sure enough, in the reflection that filled the sky for who knows how many thousands of miles, she really smelled that feeling of floating and ascending.
"Little Carp, it seems to be true…"
Dugu Xiwu muttered to herself.
"Right? It seems that Young Master's background is even bigger than we imagined. The Human Realm is about to become turbulent."
Gu Dianxue was somewhat helpless.
"Then, those Immortals from the Immortal Realm, won't they…"
Dugu Xiwu was not a fool; she was a nine-tailed fox, and she immediately thought of something. One must know that the Immortal Realm truly exists, and their Wan Yao Mountain has connections with the Upper Realm!
"So, this is a choice: whether to choose that Young Master or those Immortals."
Gu Dianxue nodded.
As great demons, having lived for so long, they knew many secrets, and ever since they deduced that Lin Yi was a Dao Harmonizer hidden in the Human Realm, they had understood many things, especially now, seeing this astonishing scene…
"You know, I am a Qingqiu fox. As for me, a fox, once I have set my sights on something, I won't change my mind!"
Dugu Xiwu's voice carried a hint of pride, "What about you? Little Carp?"
"Heh, my personality is quite stubborn."
Gu Dianxue's lips curved slightly.
"Hmph, I think your red phoenix star is moving!"
Dugu Xiwu huffed twice.
The two did not care about the phantom above their heads and started bickering. Gu Dianxue was originally cold, but at this moment, she became much livelier, perhaps influenced by Dugu Xiwu?
…
Nv Ye sat on the edge of the cliff, with Jiang Xuanji beside her. The two of them were carrying bundles, looking sneaky, but at this moment they were pressed in place and unable to move, which was unexpectedly funny to watch.
The two of them were preparing to leave the Southern Border secretly. Nv Ye was the Village Chief, and Jiang Xuanji was the Mountain Master. Neither of them was someone who could immediately abandon everything and leave alone. Nv Ye had to be responsible for the daily affairs of her village, and Jiang Xuanji had to be responsible for the many matters of the Misty Mountain.
Of course, if they really wanted to leave, it wasn't impossible, as these things could be left to their subordinates to do. Their most important task was cultivation, not really dealing with those miscellaneous matters.
It was just that Nv Ye could not face her friends and Family, so she thought of leaving alone so she wouldn't have to wave goodbye with tears. As for Jiang Xuanji… speaking of this, she was a bit angry.
Her grandfather didn't do anything and threw all the work to her, while he went to drink tea and chat with old friends every day. Was this something a grandfather should do?!
Jiang Xuanji learned from the pain, left a letter, packed her things, and just like that, she dusted off her bottom and set off with Nv Ye to leave the Southern Border.
The power structure in the Southern Border was different from other regions; it used Family forces as a bond, so the human touch here was stronger than in other places. Although Jiang Xuanji and Nv Ye were determined to leave for the thoughts in their hearts, they were still somewhat reluctant to part with their friends and Family, but they just didn't show it.
"What is that?"
Nv Ye squinted her eyes and watched the scene before her where the sky was collapsing. She was not panicked; after all, panic was useless. If she weren't unable to move, she would have simply wanted to sit on the ground and watch it like this; after all, it was quite spectacular.
"I don't understand."
Jiang Xuanji replied. Behind the two of them, the Red Leopard and Wen Li were already lying on the ground, shivering. As Yao Beasts, they were more keenly aware of that terror.
"Little darlings, don't be afraid."
Nv Ye comforted the pet beasts behind her with a few words, but unfortunately, it was of no use; they were still afraid. This made Nv Ye somewhat helpless; she could perceive their emotions through the connection between her and the pet beasts.
