Jiang Yuebai was taken by Wuwei Shanren away from the deep sea where the Observatory was located and came to an unknown high mountain in Taibai Realm.
It is a deep night, the moonlight is shining, the Milky Way is scattered among the mountains, and behind the distant mountains, the sea is dotted with stars and looks magnificent.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps it was the influence of the erosion, Jiang Yuebai stood next to Lin Jingyue and his whole body slowed down inexplicably.
My body is like flowing clouds and water, and my heart is like the bright moon and the fresh breeze. I just want to sit on the top of the mountain, watch the clouds roll and unfold, and stay away from the disputes of the world.
Lin Jingyue motioned for Jiang Yuebai to sit down. The mountain breeze blew over the hem of her clothes, lifting the veil on Jiang Yuebai's face, revealing the ink stains of the little turtle underneath. Jiang Yuebai hurriedly pressed down the veil, laughed dryly twice, sat down next to Lin Jingyue, and folded up the ink stains on the corner of her clothes.
Lin Jingyue didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly, "I have deduced what happened to Lu Xingyun."
Hearing the sound, Jiang Yuebai tensed up and quickly glanced around, fearing that a thunderbolt would strike.
Lin Jingyue smiled and said, "Don't worry. Under the heaven's rule, there is no secret for all spirits. Just speak freely and leave the rest to heaven."
Jiang Yuebai was amazed at Lin Jingyue's free and easy attitude. After thinking about it carefully, she was right. If the way of heaven really had consciousness, no matter how much she defended herself, she would not be able to hide any secrets.
Jiang Yuebai relaxed a little, "But the last time we talked about that, your incarnation..."
Lin Jingyue smiled helplessly, "Last time was a warning. Now you and I both know each other's secrets. It's okay to bring it up again, but your cultivation is still shallow, so it's better not to say it directly."
Jiang Yuebai nodded and waited for Lin Jingyue to continue.
Lin Jingyue looked towards the top of the mountain and said, "As a combined Taoist master, I can freely browse the books in the Stargazing Tower, but I cannot take them out, so I will keep it short."
"Lu Xingyun may really be like she said, not from this world, but from another world that we cannot imagine. Everything she has done so far is to return to her original world. The only way she can find is to break the laws of nature in this world."
Jiang Yuebai didn't know what to say, so he remained silent and continued listening.
"I don't know who wrote the book 'Xingyun Biography' that I read, but it records some fragmentary things about Lu Xingyun. Her life can be described as a legend that has never been seen before and will never be seen again. She has brought unprecedented changes to every aspect of the entire cultivation world."
"For example, the current Zhuge family has an unparalleled level of Yanjia manufacturing. There is also the Taixuan Taoist, a giant in the art of formation who ascended to heaven in the Heavenly Spear Realm, who was once instructed by her. The Wu family of the Taiwei Star Alliance, which is an expert in refining weapons, also has traces of Lu Xingyun's presence. There are countless such things."
Jiang Yuebai was surprised, "Lu... Is she so powerful? Where did she learn so many things from?"
Jiang Yuebai didn't dare to call Lu Xingyun's name, for fear that if she called her, she would dig a hole in the sky and poke her head out to eavesdrop.
Lin Jingyue shook her head. “I’m afraid no one knows this except herself.”
"But, but since she has made such a great contribution to the entire cultivation world, why aren't there many stories about her in the upper realm? It seems that except for those great immortals and the Zhuge family who have received her kindness, no one else knows of her existence?"
Jiang Yuebai's mind was full of questions. Logically speaking, with such an ancestor, the Tianyan Sect should not have been trapped in the Earth Spirit Realm forever. Shouldn't it have become the number one immortal sect in the upper realm long ago
Lin Jingyue sighed and continued, "But she created the method to seize the Dao!"
Jiang Yuebai's pupils fluttered and he stared at Lin Jingyue fiercely.
In the world of cultivation, everyone knows that seizing the Dao is a method of achieving one's own Dao fruit by plundering the Dao fruit of others, but no one knows how to do it specifically.
Jiang Yuebai had asked Chongming Immortal Lord many questions about 'seizing the Dao', but Chongming Immortal Lord always kept silent. She read many books in Chongming Immortal Lord's library, but only found a little bit about seizing the Dao.
In addition to the distinction between innate and acquired Dao fruits, there is also a distinction between large and small Dao fruits. Under the same category, large Dao fruits can devour small Dao fruits.
For example, the small fruits of the Tao such as spring, summer, autumn and winter can all be integrated into the great fruits of the four seasons cycle.
However, stealing the Tao is a taboo in the world of cultivation, even more taboo than stealing the body. Once discovered, the Immortal Alliance will do its best to kill the person who stole the Tao, and the Mahayana Immortal King will not allow the seizure of the Tao to happen at will.
However, in such a vast world of cultivation, although there are not many cultivators above the Refining Void stage who are capable of cultivating the Dao Fruit, no one can guarantee whether there is someone in the dark and deserted corner who has mastered the method of seizing the Dao and taking away the Dao of others.
Especially a place like the Demon Realm where there is no morality at all and promotion depends entirely on devouring.
Jiang Yuebai's pupils trembled violently, and suddenly he understood everything.
"So, Lu Xingyun has been trying to seize the Dao to make his Dao fruit closer to the Heavenly Dao? In order to fight against the Heavenly Dao?"
Lin Jingyue's eyes dimmed. "My guess is this. What Lu Xingyun wants is the Hongmeng Avenue that can compete with the Heavenly Dao. It is very likely that she has not yet obtained the Hongmeng Avenue that can break the Heavenly Dao, so she is still continuing to make plans."
Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but grab Lin Jingyue's arm, his body shaking uncontrollably.
"Could it be that the person who wants to seize the Dao must have the same innate talent as her own in order to proceed? So she chose... us, who have five spiritual roots?"
Lin Jingyue neither nodded nor shook her head. "The specific method of seizing the Dao is a taboo in the world of cultivation. I don't know the inside story, but I think it's probably like that. It's also because of this incident that everyone in the world of cultivation who knows her is very secretive about her."
"Over the past 100,000 years, the Mahayana Immortal Lords of all generations did not deliberately suppress those who respected her and the forces they supported, but they also did not vigorously support her. They only allowed her to develop slowly, which was considered to be in compliance with the will of heaven."
"I have consulted many historical records in the Stargazing Tower. In the past 100,000 years, among all the recorded cultivators with five spiritual roots, there were seven who reached the stage of Mahayana. The fruits of their cultivation are unknown, but all seven of them perished in the ninth immortal calamity and were unable to ascend."
Lin Jingyue paused, thinking that what she would face in the future would probably be the same.
Jiang Yuebai continued to ask, "Do these seven people have any connection with her?"
Lin Jingyue shook her head, "There is no way to verify it!"
"Then are there any abnormalities in the ninth immortal tribulation of these seven people?"
Lin Jingyue continued to shake her head, "There is no way to verify it."
Jiang Yuebai clenched his fists. Does this mean that before the arrival of the Great Perfection Immortal Tribulation, neither the Heavenly Dao nor Lu Xingyun would take action against them, the chosen ones with the five spiritual roots
If this was the case, she could temporarily relax and not have to worry about the sword hanging over her head falling down when she was not prepared.
Think about it from another perspective, if Lu Xingyun really has the ability to fight against the Heavenly Dao, then as long as she still has value, Lu Xingyun will not let her die easily at the hands of the Heavenly Dao
It is both utilization and protection!
Jiang Yuebai was determined in her heart, and slowly stopped shaking. She was still a long way from reaching Mahayana. As long as Tiandao and Lu Xingyun gave her a way to survive, she would always be able to solve everything.
She would never admit defeat until the very last moment. No, she would never admit defeat even until the very last moment!
Jiang Yuebai roughly understood Lu Xingyun's purpose, and she suddenly remembered another person who tried to control her fate, Zhufeng!
Jiang Yuebai looked up at Lin Jingyue and asked, "Have you heard of Wind Chasing Sword Master?"
See you tomorrow~
