Ying Shuangze looked at the scene in surprise.
Zhu Changyang's cultivation is growing rapidly at an incredible speed.
Mid-stage of Spirit Division, Peak of Spirit Division, Early stage of Integration, Mid-stage of Integration, Peak of Integration…
Mahayana!
Under normal circumstances, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years to reach this level, but he broke through in just a short moment.
No, that's not right.
It has recovered.
Ying Shuangze realized it later and at this moment he also understood that this was Zhu Changyang's "origin".
Jun Shu knew more and realized that the shell that existed in Yuan Nie was the same as the monitor that was previously taken by Zuo Zhe, both of which were refined by Shuo Hui's cultivation.
When Zhu Changyang gets these things, he will be able to recover his cultivation from his previous life. When his realm is completely restored, all his forgotten memories will be awakened.
But he recovered too quickly. The last time he took back the monitor, he attracted the purple lightning.
Jun Shu was worried that there might be more problems, so he quickly gathered his magic skills and set up a protective barrier for Zhu Changyang.
The next second, Zhu Changyang suddenly held his hand.
"Jun Shu, come with me."
The two people's fingers were intertwined, and Zhu Changyang's breath was transmitted to Jun Shu. Those memories of Shuo Hui's past life also poured into Jun Shu's sea of consciousness.
He saw Shuo Hui standing at the end of the Penxue River, in front of Yongze's magnificent bronze gate, refining his own realm into the Sun and Moon Pot and absorbing the power of the Great Dao.
Jun was suddenly stunned.
.
The thunder disappeared and the heavy rain stopped.
A brilliant multicolored glow bloomed across the vast blue sky, and the passage to heaven opened toward Shuo Hui.
Shuo Hui, with his immortal bones after being reborn, stood majestically above the bronze door. In front of him was the smooth road to heaven that countless seekers of truth had spent their entire lives pursuing, while under his feet was a misty continent submerged by floods.
Shuo Hui looked back and saw the roaring water flooding into Yongze City, ruthlessly destroying the painstaking efforts of mortals that had taken years or even decades to build.
The little child who was singing a ballad innocently just a moment ago was instantly swallowed up by the flood.
The whole city was roaring, screaming, and crying, and kneeling helplessly under the blue sky to pray.
Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as straw dogs.
Under the great road, what is the difference between humans and ants, and between them and the blades of grass, trees, grains of sand and stones on the ground? If they are flooded, they will be flooded.
But he is not the Great Dao of this world. Even though he has forged immortal bones, he was born and raised in Yongze City.
This is his hometown.
In an instant, Shuo Hui had made a decision.
"It's better not to do this immortal."
He turned around abruptly, pressed his palm on the blood on the bronze door, and used the blood as ink to quickly draw runes.
Soon, the magic circle took shape, and the saint's magic rose, covering the entire city.
The citizens who were swallowed by the flood had a faint halo on their bodies at the last moment before drowning.
Then, they all turned into green carps as long as arms.
Big, small, long, fat, with fried scales, wide tail... This is the most common type of fish in the world, but it is different from ordinary fish.
These herrings still retain their eyelids, a sign of their former status as a hominin.
The black carp was surprised and confused at first, but somehow it managed to catch its breath in the water and barely managed to save its life.
Compared to those other lives that were destroyed, we are extremely lucky.
Only the old black turtle whose carapace had passed the Great Dao still maintained its original appearance, lying on the edge of the pond, and shouted from afar: "Lord Shuohui, everyone survived, you can become an immortal now-"
Shuo Hui shook his head.
But this is far from enough.
Outside Yongze City, there is an entire vast land ravaged by floods, and everywhere you look, there is devastation.
The deep and wide Pengxue River split the earth in two, but the water of the river had no way to drain.
The problem is far from solved.
Shuo Hui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then put his hands on his back and suddenly pulled out one of his fairy bones.
Yuan Nie was shocked: "Shuo Huijun, what are you doing—"
Shuo Hui didn't have the energy to answer. It would be extremely risky to destroy his immortal body. If things went wrong, he would be reduced to ashes.
But this is the only way to keep life on this land.
Using the immortal bone as a guide, one passes through the opened passage to immortality and borrows strength from the stars.
The star Canopus shines brightly, and a huge force descends upon the earth.
Shuo Hui held on to his last breath and cast a spell on the earth—
"There is blood at the gates, and the city has become a lake."
The magic circle protecting the city was in harmony with the power of the stars. The earth shook and a loud rumbling sound was heard.
Then, the huge Yongze City, along with the surrounding farmlands, villages, mountains and rivers -
It fell into a swamp.
The swamp continued to sink underground, and the Pengxue River, along with the raging flood from the entire land, poured in with a "splash".
The torrents on the earth were gradually dredged, and countless creatures finally got a chance to breathe and avoided complete annihilation.
The water level of the vast swamp continued to rise, and finally became the largest lake on the Piaomiao Continent.
In the many years to come, this vast swamp, together with the Penxue River, will bear the countless floods that plague this land.
The power of the saints remains on both sides of the river, and together with the great lakes and rivers, it forms a solid water network, which together protects the long-term peace and tranquility of this place.
Eventually it became the largest mortal city and the most prosperous commercial center on the continent.
But it’s still not enough.
He must protect the entire Yongze City and the old people in this city.
Under the star Canopus, the boundless lake is vast and misty.
Shuo Hui floated above the vast sea of smoke and cast a chaos barrier.
"Go to sleep, and when the earth is at peace and the world is prosperous, we will return to this world together."
This is Shuo Huijun's promise.
These black carps with human eyelids knew that he would definitely do what he said, so all the fish closed their eyes together and fell into a deep sleep under the protection of the saint.
The blood pattern on the city gate glowed, and the city protection array spread to the entire swamp. The water became turbid, forming a dark world that could not be seen.
Ten thousand years thereafter, this place became the enchanted water that no one dared to approach.
People from later generations cannot approach, let alone catch any fish here. Anyone who enters the water will turn into a black fish and sleep in the city with Nagase's old friends.
Shuo Hui exhausted his last drop of energy, his celestial bones were completely destroyed, and he fell into the water helplessly. Fortunately, he was well prepared, holding a piece of turtle armor with ancient longevity in his hand.
This was something Jun accidentally broke off when Yuan Nie complained about him and he was so angry that he secretly picked a fight with the old turtle in the middle of the night.
Jun felt guilty after he broke off the story. After thinking it over, he decided to tell Shuo Hui the truth.
Shuo Hui criticized Jun harshly and took the turtle armor to apologize to Yuan Nie, only to find out that the turtle armor had sensed something and fell off on its own.
The born demon just happened to take the blame.
Yuan Nie felt a little embarrassed, so he gave the turtle shell to Shuo Hui.
Before his immortal bones were completely consumed, Shuo Hui refined most of his lost cultivation into turtle armor, and then put the turtle armor back on Yuan Nie's back armor.
Also handed over to Yuan Nie were the Sun and Moon Pot and the two bench puppies.
"Mr. Yuan, once my consciousness is dispersed, I don't know where it will go. Please keep these things for me for the time being."
The old black turtle felt that supreme cultivation was falling on its back, and these cultivations would give it a longer life.
It stretched out its pillar-like limbs, put the rest of the objects into its shell one by one, and promised solemnly: "Lord Shuohui, don't worry, I have a long life, and I will stay here and wait for you to come back."
Shuo Hui smiled slightly: "Okay, we have a deal."
The immortal body disappeared at this point, and the only remaining wisp of consciousness, with the help of the power of the stars, finally broke free from the Avenue and went out of the world.
It was a world that was very similar to Piaomiao Continent, but also completely different.
The people there do not practice magic, but rely on their unremitting exploration of "science" and have found another way to heaven.
Shuo Hui rebuilt his body there, and his weak consciousness forgot his past, but he still instinctively knew that he had to go back to Piaomiao Continent. So he used the technology of that world to create a live broadcast system.
And at the time agreed with Jun Shu, he sent Zhu Changyang back.
The saint and the natural demon species meet again in the dusty land where they parted ten thousand years ago. They pursue their dreams all the way and gradually recover their forgotten skills and memories.
Finally, I returned to Yongze again to fulfill an old appointment with an old friend from the city.
.
Ying Shuangze watched Zhu Changyang's cultivation level continue to rise after breaking through to the Mahayana stage, until it could no longer be understood.
This is definitely not a realm that the cultivators in this world can achieve!
While I was shocked, my guesses became clearer and clearer.
Finally, the patterns on the ancient turtle's shell disappeared, and the power sealed in it all returned to Zhu Changyang's body.
Jun Shu tightened his jaw and stared at the person in front of him in a daze.
Before this, he always thought that Shuo Hui was just like him, unable to withstand the thunder, and could only temporarily disperse his cultivation, sleep quietly somewhere, and wait for the opportunity to come again.
But I never thought that Shuo Hui had already planned everything.
"Under the star Canopus is Yongze. As long as Canopus remains unchanged, my spirit will not perish."
That's what I meant.
Although the saint had clearly opened the path to becoming an immortal, he still resolutely looked back.
There were so many emotions in my mind, but in the end, they all just turned into a chuckle.
Jun Shu lightly tapped the forehead of the person in front of him: "You..."
Zhu Changyang held his fingers back and smiled: "I promised you."
Make the water your bond and follow it upstream.
After all, they didn't let each other down.
He looked at Yuan Nie again, "Mr. Yuan, thank you for all these years."
“No way.” Yuan Nie hurriedly shook his hand, “If it weren’t for Shuo Huijun’s selfless rescue, we would have ceased to exist ten thousand years ago.”
She felt a little ashamed as she spoke, and touched Pearl's shell. "It was me who almost couldn't wait for you to come back. Fortunately, I had this little horseshoe crab."
Pearl swung her tail: "Squeak-"
It turns out that it was no coincidence that Zhenzhu and Zhu Changyang hit it off at first sight.
The snow horseshoe crabs and the sea horseshoe crabs near Yiye Kingdom were originally descendants of ancient strange beasts. Their ancestors were almost extinct in the ancient times with the collapse of Daishan Mountain.
Fortunately, thanks to the sage’s influence, the waters of Yongze and Penxue Rivers remained peaceful, allowing these races to survive.
The bloodline of the exotic beasts is passed down from generation to generation and is extremely sensitive. When they come into contact with Zhu Changyang, the sense of closeness to the saints passed down from ancient times is naturally awakened.
Zhenzhu gave Zhu Changyang the mist silk, and when it came into contact with Zhu Changyang, it was imbued with his scent.
A few days ago, there was an earthquake in Yongze City, and the ground slowly rose upwards, which also startled the pearls who swam in the Penxue River all year round.
Originally, even foreign aquatic creatures were not allowed to enter Yongze.
But as Yongze's magic circle loosened, the chaos gradually weakened, and the interception from the outside world was no longer so powerful.
Pearl has the blood of an exotic beast and a wisp of saintly aura, and unexpectedly she managed to pass through the barrier and enter this strange underwater city.
Just then Yuan Nie felt that his end was near and woke up from his deep sleep. He thought he would die with regrets, but when he was dying he saw Pearl and sensed a familiar scent from it.
So, holding on to a glimmer of hope, he entrusted Zhenzhu to go and look for his old friend.
Fortunately, the opportunities in this world are predestined, and they finally arrived in time.
Yuan Nie did not feel relieved. He looked at the broken green porcelain pieces and sighed, "It's all my fault for not taking good care of this pot. Now I don't know what to do..."
According to Shuohui's calculations, as time goes by, Shenxing will slowly retract its power, the magic circle of Yongze City will weaken, and finally resurface.
But by this time, the earth was divided into nine parts, and the waters were level. There were no longer floods everywhere with nowhere to divert water as there had been ten thousand years ago.
The water of Yongze Lake can be fully contained in the Sun and Moon Pot.
But for some reason, the pot floated to the surface first and broke at this moment.
"It's none of your business." Zhu Changyang shook his head and sneered, "I'm afraid the Dao won't allow it."
Back then, he became a god through faith, which was already an act of usurping the authority of heaven.
He finally managed to survive the tribulation, but he ignored the path to immortality and instead stayed in the mortal world.
All these actions are tantamount to rebellion.
So when he returned to Piaomiao Continent, Dao noticed his movements and started another showdown with him.
The Sun and Moon Pot floated to the surface of the water, and the power of the Great Dao within it escaped and destroyed the body of the pot, causing the pot's realm to fall and eventually shatter.
Now, Yongze City is flooded and a flood is pouring in.
Zhu Changyang's "world" is now reduced to a small workshop filled with equipment and data.
It’s all connected.
They once again returned to the situation ten thousand years ago.
